how to force the Web server to not limit PHP process

[jasongr]

Hello

I have a PHP code that performs some very intense calculations which may take a long time
however, after a while, I get the following error in my browser:

Server Error
The following error occurred:

[code=SERVER_RESPONSE_RESET] The server response could not be read because of an error. Contact your system administrator.

Is there a way for me to inform the Web server to not limit the duration of the script?
maybe using ini_set ?

Maybe this error has nothing to do with timeouts... any suggestion would be appreciated

How about using the 'set_time_limit' function (http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/functio...time-limit.php)

 // 10 minutes timeout
 set_time_limit(600);
