This is the number of seconds that your script can run before it times out.

Maybe you need to allocate more to your script From PHP.INI.

You will need to update these values:

max_execution_time = 300 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in
seconds
; could be set to 0
max_input_time = 60 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing
request data
; could be set to 0
memory_limit = 8M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)
; double it to 16M since you need at least twice the memory of your largest
image for buffering and manipulation.

@ means surpress warnings generated when calling this function.

It is a good idea when debugging a script to remove these as functions will
happily be quiet and not warn you that something is not being called
properly, or working properly.
