[PHP] Time limit on recursive procedure?

[Clancy]

I have a recursive procedure, and I set the time limit each time I enter it:

function rec_scan($directory, ..)
{
set_time_limit (1);

if (is_dir($new_file))
{
rec_scan ($new_file, )
}

}


The way I read the manual, the timer should be reset each time I call 
rec_scanl, but I
seem to have to set a longer time limit than I would have anticipated, and I 
wonder if in
fact the original time limit still applies to the original invocation?

You keep calling it so as long as the execution time between each call
is  1 second, your script will keep going.

Thanks.  That's what I thought. I'm using it to back up my working directory to 
another
drive, and a 3 second limit wasn't long enough, so one of the directories must 
take longer
than I expected to copy.
