What leads to 'maximum execution time exceeded in php'?

Example:

while(true) { }

Script running longer than the max_execution_time set in PHP's configuration.

Solution:

You can increase the maximum execution time in the php.ini configuration or temporarily within the script using set_time_limit(). However, it's preferable to optimize the script for faster execution.


set_time_limit(300);  // Set max execution time to 5 minutes
// Rest of the script
