I was getting timeout while running cron job. That problem is solved by following code. But problem is, it only works properly in cron job. If I open through browser, script will end abruptly. Anyway, we don't have time out problem using browser because we can use ajax.
$end_time = 600;//600 seconds is end time of script.
$pid = pcntl_fork();
if ($pid < 0)
exit;
else if ($pid) // parent
exit;
else {// child
$sid = posix_setsid();
if ($sid < 0){
exit;
}
for($i = 0; (time() - $end_time)<0; $i++) {
usleep($sleep_time);
//do something, it will not time out.
}
}
