Zend Server Best Practices
The maximum execution time is
not affected by system calls,
stream operations, etc. See the
set_time_limit() function for more
details.
You cannot change this setting
with ini_set() when running in safe
mode. The only workaround is to
turn off safe mode or to change the
time limit in the php.ini.
Your Web server may have other
timeout configurations that can
also interrupt PHP execution.
Apache has a Timeout directive
and IIS has a CGI timeout function.
Both default to 300 seconds. See
your Web server documentation for
specific details.
memory_limit 128M 128M Sets the maximum amount of
memory (in bytes) that a script can
allocate. This helps prevent poorly
written scripts from consuming all
the available memory on a server.
This setting can also be fine-tuned
during development to reach an
optimal setting.
When an integer is used, the value
is measured in bytes.
Note: To have no memory limit, set
this directive to -1.
output_buffering 4096 4096 Allows you to buffer the PHP
output instead of having it sent
directly as soon as it is generated.
