You may find this useful, if you're allowed to use it:

<?

ini_set('max_execution_time', 120); // 120 seconds
ini_set('memory_limit', '64M'); // 64 MB

?>


In either case, I highly recommend that you optimize your script. If it's a
database query, skip fields you don't need, limit returned rows to needed
records, use indexes, avoid unnecessary sortings... That can make as much
difference as going from 1 minute to 10 seconds.
