It's works fine in normal condition.But when Internet is not available then my script wait for long time for response.

You are looking for the PHP function called set_time_limit(), which allows you to cap the execution time of a PHP script.

Hey is it work when I will execute php page from embedded board ? – Hkachhia Dec 31 '12 at 07:24
I don't know why it wouldn't. `set_time_limit()` is a native PHP function, so it should work regardless of the hardware you're running it on, unless you are running a special version of PHP. Even then, I doubt this function would be excluded from a special version because of the potential importance it could play in an embedded system. – L0j1k Dec 31 '12 at 07:55
