How can the max_execution_time setting impact the execution of a PHP script with multiple database queries?

The max_execution_time setting in PHP determines the maximum amount of time a script is allowed to run before it is terminated. If a PHP script with multiple database queries exceeds this time limit, it will be stopped before completing all the queries, potentially leading to incomplete or inconsistent data. To prevent this issue, you can increase the max_execution_time setting in your PHP configuration to allow the script enough time to finish all the database queries.

// Set max_execution_time to 300 seconds (5 minutes)
ini_set('max_execution_time', 300);

// Your PHP script with multiple database queries here
// Make sure to handle errors and timeouts appropriately
