PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in C:\xampp\htdocs\vendor\symfony\process\Pipes\WindowsPipes.php on line 140

When I try to upload video that is larger than 15MB using Ajax and Laravel I get this error:

PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in C:\xampp\htdocs\vendor\symfony\process\Pipes\WindowsPipes.php on line 140

I use Ffmpeg and Symfony/process

the error in symfony windowsPipes.php in Laravel.

What is problem?

There are two options:

1.

set_time_limit set the maximum execution time for the current script without altering the php.ini file. The change is temporary and applies only to the current script.

set_time_limit(300); // 5 minutes

init_set modifies the max_execution_time directive in the php.ini file, affecting all PHP pages using this configuration. As described in the documentation "The configuration option will keep this new value during the script's execution, and will be restored at the script's ending".

ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); // 5 minutes

Both functions limit the execution time of a PHP script, but set_time_limit affects only the current script, while ini_set influences all PHP pages using the configuration directive.

Setting max_execution_time in php.ini file may not work in all scenarios, anyway set it for some 300 seconds. But for all scenarios, writing ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); in the file you want to execute will do the work for you.

You can set max_execution_time in your php.ini:

max_execution_time=300

Or, in your PHP code:

ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); // 5 minutes

Setting it to zero removes the restriction, however apache might also time out in that scenario.

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

This sets the maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to run before it is terminated by the parser. This helps prevent poorly written scripts from tying up the server. The default setting is 30. When running PHP from the command line the default setting is 0.

The maximum execution time is not affected by system calls, stream operations etc. Please see the set_time_limit() function for more details.

You can not change this setting with ini_set() when running in safe mode. The only workaround is to turn off safe mode or by changing the time limit in the php.ini.

Your web server can have other timeout configurations that may also interrupt PHP execution. Apache has a Timeout directive and IIS has a CGI timeout function. Both default to 300 seconds. See your web server documentation for specific details.

Problem is that uploading is taking more then 30 sec, you could extend the maximum execution time like this, go to php.ini in your xampp and set this

ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); //300 seconds = 5 minutes
