I've used the following line in some of my scripts, some of which run for 10
or 15 minutes.

set_time_limit(0);

The server won't time out, but it takes a while to get anything back to the
browser. It's not ideal, because it takes some time before anything gets
sent back to the browser, but it does the trick.

Kind regards

Hello:

I have created an application to read email addresses from a list and to 
send emails. The problem now I am facing is, if the list is very long then 
I am getting an error message in the browser "Server Timed Out". How can I 
display a confirmation message and continue sending the emails from the 
server? That is, trigger a separate script (not related to browser) on the 
server which handles the emails and then return a success message. Can 
anybody help me to find out a logic or script on this.
