Set max_execution_time for a specific controller in symfony2

Question

Using ini_set() , I can increase the maximum execution time of the script. In Symfony2, I can add ini_set to web/app.php and web/app_dev.php to apply extended runtime to all controllers.

But in this case, I only want to increase the maximum execution time for one action of a specific controller in Symfony2 . I would prefer not to give other actions the opportunity to work for a longer time than necessary.

I tried adding ini_set at the top of the action function in the controller, but this does not seem to work. Any solutions? Thanks!

You can disable the PHP timeout limit using the set_time_limit function. More here

as an example:

 class TaskController extends Controller { public function longTaskAction() { set_time_limit(0); // 0 = no limits // .. } } 

Hope for this help
