We have developed an open-source eCommerce sales forecasting add-on in
PHP (see link below) that requires usually more than a few seconds to
complete because the process involves some Web Services
communications.

Yet, in shared hosting with short PHP execution timeouts, our script
may not terminate (being killed by the web server).

Our concern is not the timeout in itself, it's the fact that this
situation is very confusing for the user who may not even be aware
that a timeout has been encountered and who may experience random bugs
due to this timeout.

Thus we need to handle gracefully the PHP execution timeouts by
displaying appropriate and meaningful error messages.

Do anyone knows how to do that?

Thanks in advance,
Joannès
