htaccess help (max execution time)

[benrob82]

Hi can anyone help with this. I haven't used the htaccess file before.

The script I am trying to run can take up to 15 mins to send out a batch email to around 1000 contacts and when I've contacted my server host to request that the max_execution_time be extended to around 15 mins they say it could be a security violation and to try adding the max_execution_time to a .htaccess file and place it in the file in which the script runs.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks

Hi

That is a PHP setting.

php_value max_execution_time 900

As far as I know. Sorry, I never used it properly and I have no Apache now.
