I have PHP 5.3.29 installed and trying to read an excel file with php-excel-reader-2.21, but it gives error as below 

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded in php-excel-reader-2.21\excel_reader2.php on line 143

Also tried to use phpExcelReader, it gives error as below.

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded in C:\Apache2.2\htdocs\phpExcelReader\Spreadsheet\Excel\Reader\oleread.php on line 96

Working on maximum time limit may not be helpful here as I have only 2 rows to read in excel file and for that the value "300" I have set is already high. anyone has idea on why the libraries failing to read excel? or any alternative suggestions?

  • Issue is not about working on maximum execution time, because I have only 2 rows in the excel I am using to read, so the value I have set is already high. I want to understand why the specified libraries are failing to read excel or suggestions on any other library would be helpful. – Madhura KM Dec 22 '14 at 11:35
  • If that is the case you should have putted that in your question instead of letting people mind read what it is you want to ask? Also software suggestions are off topic here. – PeeHaa Dec 22 '14 at 11:37

In your php.ini file there is a directive max_execution_time, change it to what you want.

OR

in your PHP script, write following line:

ini_set('MAX_EXECUTION_TIME', -1);
