php script execution for heavy script file

i have a project which i develop in php framework named codeigniter. I have a script file in it which creates 30,0000 pdfs of db records for my client. the problem is that i have to run code in chunks. Because it gives errors, some time server time out, some time memory out of sync, I fixed all errors by changing in php.ini but in vain. Because I still have to make pdfs in chunks by using limit with 7000 ofset. IF I increase Limit offset it fails to run and gives me error. It's very hard to sit upto 30,0000 record and generate pdf on them. I just want that I run within one single chunk. Please give me solution. I really need it. Thanks in advance.

I would recommend using separate shell script for this, or if you insist on using a PHP script, use that as you would use a shell script. You can just "fire and forget" the script, so it would run on the background, without it affecting anything else and without it eating resources off your web application. That would be something like:

shell_exec('yourscript.sh > /dev/null 2>/dev/null &');

or with php script

shell_exec('php yourscript.php > /dev/null 2>/dev/null &');

Note that in the above, I'm redirecting both stdout and stderr to null. If you wan't them, you'd rather redirect them to somewhere else.
