In PHP does max_execution_time affect shutdown functions that are run through a register_shutdown_function() call?

Question

I have a shutdown function registered using register_shutdown_function() that takes a long time to complete. Will PHP's max_execution_time cause PHP to terminate this function or will it run until it completes or errors out?

Answer 1

It will run to completion.
