That does explain it, but it sort of defeats the purpose of having a
maximum_execution_time directive in this case. I would think that a large
percentage of PHP scripts have some kind of external processing going on,
particularly DB connectivity. Anyways, thanks for the side note!

>From the php.net web site: http://us4.php.net/function.set-time-limit

Note: The set_time_limit() function and the configuration directive
max_execution_time only affect the execution time of the script itself. Any
time spent on activity that happens outside the execution of the script such
as system calls using system(), the sleep() function, database queries, etc.
is not included when determining the maximum time that the script has been
running.



That might explain what you are seeing.
