Get max_execution_time in PHP script

Question

I know that you can set the maximum runtime in a script using:

ini_set('max_execution_time', 30); 

or

 set_time_limit(30); 

What can I do to get a variable containing the maximum execution time in seconds?

Answer 1

The converse using ini_get :

 ini_get('max_execution_time'); 

Note. If you check the documentation page for ini_set , you can find ini_get , which shows the note in the See Also section. This is a very good way to discover the functionality built into PHP that you still don't know about.

Answer 2

you can try

 $max_time = ini_get("max_execution_time"); echo $max_time; 

and you can use this variable as you want :)

Answer 3

try the following:

 ini_get('max_execution_time') 

Answer 4

There are some inaccuracies in the comments. So, to clarify:

• set_time_limit(30) same as ini_set('max_execution_time', 30);
• Both of them reset counter.
• ini_get('max_execution_time') works for both cases - set_time_limit and ini_set .
