Longer connections through set_time_limit

I am trying to run a script that takes more than 60 seconds, but it quits after that amount of time. I tried adding set_time_limit(600) and set_time_limit(0) before the loop that is causing the problems, but it still quit in both cases.

I have also changed php.ini file to read max_input_time = 600. This also did not work.

Is there another possible solution for this? If I don’t get an error (I am not getting any, it just ends) that says something about safe mode, can I assume safe mode is not on? Is it a dbase configuration issue?

Thanks for any help.
