Some hosts let you change the timeout using ini_set, does yours?

If not could you split the processing over two scripts?

In the first script parse the xml file, update database, copy the image
to a temporary file and use $_SESSION to store the temp filename. Then
redirect to the second script using header('Location:') and let the 2nd
script finish off the resizing & database updates

This way you have a whole twenty seconds to play with.
