Can I change default_socket_timeout from my php code?

php, timeout

Solution

With this PHP command:

ini_set("default_socket_timeout", 6000);

Or add/update the .htaccess file with this line:

php_value default_socket_timeout 6000

Check the current value with `phpinfo()`

Problem

In my php script I restore db2 database backups. They are getting bigger and bigger. So now I was getting 500 Server Error after +-30min after executing the script. There was this line in `(mod_fastcgi.c.3352) response not received, request sent: 634 on socket: tcp:127.0.0.1:9090 for /wrational/restoredb.php?mode=restore&database=RATIONAL, closing connection` in php-errors.log file. I thought that setting `set_time_limit(6000);1 would solve the issue but it hasn't. Increasing `default_socket_timeout` in php.ini file did the trick. Is there any way to change `default_socket_timeout` from php code?
