It's strange, looks like apache ignores your php.ini. You can yet try to
add set_time_limit(30); to the beginning of your code. After 30 seconds
the script should end with php generated-error, so the last line never
prints. If set_time_limit will work, try to find if you are not using
another php.ini than you are trying to edit ;)
