php curl execution time limitation

While using PHP I am taking image links from my mysql database, and echoing them out. There are 600 or so, but it keeps stopping after running 100 or so. It is not a logic error, it seems there is a setting that is stopping php from continuing the curl. Please advise which setting I should expand to allow a longer CURL thanks!

Here is what I am using now:

function file_get_contents_curl($url)
{
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, true);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
return $data;
}

$htmlaa = file_get_contents_curl($getimagefrom);
$docaa = new DOMDocument();
@$docaa->loadHTML($htmlaa);

Again, it is worknig just fine but just keeps stopping after running for maybe 3 minutes.

You can set the curl timeout like so:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 1000); //seconds to live

Since there are multiple factors that influence execution time you should also check out these two as well:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php

http://php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php#ini.max-execution-time

Also please note that CURLOPT_TIMEOUT defines the amount of time that any cURL function is allowed to take to execute. You should also checkout CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT option.
