Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded. How to handle this error?

Question

I am getting this error while running one script.

I know it's about execution time and i had went through all answers too but i want to display custom message when this error occurs so that site doesn't break.

How to handle that error as i have kept error display off on my live site so footer is not loaded due to this error which stops breaking my site?

you can exceed max execution time like this :

ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); //300 seconds = 5 minutes

You can always modify your php.ini file. There is a setting for maximum execution time.

Another way is to use ini_set function.

Another way is to put the max execution time in your htaccess file.

EDIT:

The max execution time is not an error and therefore not catchable.

Please check out this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6861033/how-to-catch-the-fatal-error-maximum-execution-time-of-30-seconds-exceeded-in-p

Finally, there is always scope of fixing the scripts and putting lengthy processes into a queue.

You can always put long processes in queue like: third party access, video converter logic, emails firing etc everything in background. In queue server. So that your PHP execution can get finished quickly and you can then show a message to user to notify that some processes are still running on background. – Sep 29 '15 at 05:57

You can try to add this line of code in the file first:

set_time_limit(0)

You can either increase the maximum execution time by using set_time_limit() or by setting max_execution_time in the php.ini. Also by setting set_time_limit to 0 you can remove the limit for exceution time.

And if you are using linux you can try with the function register_shutdown_function.This function will be called when the execution time limit is reached.
