Php max_execution_time ignored

Question

Hi i'm trying to stop long running php scripts

so i've created this scrtipt for testing

<?php

ini_set('max_execution_time',1);
set_time_limit(1);

for($i=0;$i<2;$i++) {
        echo time();
        echo '    i:' . $i;
        echo '<br/>';
        sleep(2);
}
phpinfo();

the php info outputs

Directive           Local Value  Master Value
max_execution_time  1            30

but the script is not aborted after 1 sec. Why?

Are you under a shared hosting ? Most of the times you wouldn't be able to edit such configuration in such environment. — HamZa, Jul 29 '13 at 08:45

Sleep Time doesn't count towards max_execution_time or in other words: Sleep Time doesn't count as execution time.

See: Does sleep time count for execution time limit?

I can't because It isn't documented, but I put a link to another question. It is also mentioned in the comments of the documentation: http://ch1.php.net/sleep – Marcel Burkhard Sep 24 '14 at 08:43

This is a PHP Bug which should have been fixed in 5.3.1 . max_input_time overrides max_execution_time
