Hello,

I have a static MySQL database that I use a PHP script to search. On rare occasions, the script runs away, starts hogging resources and making Lunarpages support very, very unhappy campers.

I want to restrict the time limit that the script runs (and add anything else that would help alleviate this problem). I've created the following .htaccess and php.ini files, but it doesn't seem to work!

Any help, comments, and direction would be appreciated. Thanks!

# AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/sf/public_html/archives/php.ini

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Resource Limits ;

max_execution_time = 5     ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 5         ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 1M          ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume

Ah, okay, I fixed the ConfigPath. Still doesn't seem to work though.  I've even adjusted the max execution time to 1 second to practically force a script shut down, but to no avail.

(Note that I have the .htaccess and php.ini file in that ConfigPath directory. I have presumed that's where they should be.)

Also, would fiddling with MySQL persistent connections solve my overall problem?
