There is one last option ... register an output buffer as I suggested

Ok I think I understand what you are proposing. I just have one question about your example code.

Where does the string "Maximum execution" come from? Is this output automatically by PHP when a script times out?

Would it be possible to use:

if (connection_status == 2) {}

Jc

<?php

ob_start('scriptTimeout');

// set to 1 this should show the error below set to 2 and above you
should get the normal output!!
set_time_limit(1);

function scriptTimeout($buffer)
{
        if (eregi('Maximum execution', $buffer))
        {
                $buffer = 'Server Overloaded!!';
        }

        return $buffer;
}

//
// content area
//

for ($i = 0; $i < 1000000; $i++)
{
        $output = $i;
}

echo 'We are upto a final count of: '.$output;

?>
