How is it possible to set an infinite execution time for PHP script?

To set an infinite execution time for a PHP script, you can use the set_time_limit() function or the max_execution_time directive in the php.ini configuration file. Here are the details for both methods:

Using set_time_limit() Function

The set_time_limit() function allows you to specify the maximum execution time of a script in seconds. By passing 0 as the argument, you can set the execution time to be unlimited.

<?php
// Set the maximum execution time to unlimited
set_time_limit(0);

// Your long-running script here
while (true) {
    // Simulate a long-running process
    echo "Running...\n";
    sleep(1);
}
?>

Using php.ini Configuration

You can also set the max_execution_time directive in the php.ini file to 0 to allow scripts to run indefinitely. This change will apply to all PHP scripts running on the server.

1. Open your php.ini file...
