How to increase max_execution_time?

Question

PHP

Hello.

I got a problem with max_execution_time.

The essence of the problem is this:
There is a CSV file with links to pages that need to be parsed, then processed in the required format, and then added to the site. The file itself is loaded via AJAX. So the whole process goes as planned, only interrupted for 5 minutes.

Tried all the ways me the value of max_execution_time, but the result is still the same. The PHP documentation says that this is the default value.

Tell me, please, what could be the problem?

PS I wrote in support, so there is nothing and they can not help, they only ask for access to the project.

Current settings:
max_execution_time 3600
max_input_time -1

Answer 1

This is the wrong approach to solve such a problem, large files need to be parsed asynchronously (through queues)

Answer 2

Use CRON to run php, there is no execution time limit.

Answer 3

As an option, import the CSV. * file into SQL via the command line and then take the necessary information from the database.
