Don't run it from the browser - just grab the php.exe and invoke the script
thusly:
php.exe script.php
from the command line.
Make sure you have set_time_limit(0) in there at the top.
To make sure its progressing as expected, put in some sort of progress
indicator - ie, if you're processing 1,000,000 lines, you don't want to
print every line, so just do something like
doLoop
{
...
if ($ct % 1000 == 0)
print "$ct ... ";
$ct++;
}
to print an indicator every 1,000 lines. If its breaking anywhere, this will
also help you track down where its breaking.
