Thank you for the additional info. > IIRC, the difference between platforms with how > max_execution_time is counted doesn't seem to be documented last I checked. Currently the max_execution_time documentation has a note about that, but it only mentions Windows: > https://www.php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php#ini.max-execution-time > On non Windows systems, the maximum execution time is not affected by system > calls, stream operations etc. Please see the set_time_limit() function for > more details.
