Detailed Description

Utility class to manage PHP time limit.

Member Function Documentation

get_and_clear_unit_test_data()

static core_php_time_limit::get_and_clear_unit_test_data ( )

static

For unit testing, returns an array of the values set during test.

Return values

array

Array of values set

raise()

static core_php_time_limit::raise (   $newlimit = 0 )

static

Sets the PHP time limit to a number of seconds from now.

This function will always extend the time limit (in other words, if the time limit has already been set further in the future, it will do nothing).

In order to support front-end servers which may time out silently if no output is displayed, you should ideally only call this function if you expect some output to be displayed at the same time. (I.e. if you call this function each time around a loop, also display some output each time around the loop, such as a progress bar update.)

Parameters

int

$newlimit

Limit in seconds from now (0 = infinite)
