Question

I have a large script that has a set_time_limit(0) directive to insure it processes fully.

However, I’m getting a few reports of this error on a small percentage of installations:

Warning: set_time_limit() [function.set-time-limit]: Cannot set time limit in safe mode…

Is there a method call to check for safe mode before committing the function?

Answer 1

Is there a method call to check for safe mode before committing the function?

Yes, there is

ini_get('safe_mode')

Whether to enable PHP’s safe mode. If PHP is compiled with –enable-safe-mode then defaults to On, otherwise Off.
