How can the Maximum execution time error be addressed when downloading large files in PHP?
When downloading large files in PHP, the Maximum execution time error can be addressed by increasing the maximum execution time limit in the PHP configuration or by using the set_time_limit() function to extend the script's execution time.
// Increase the maximum execution time limit
ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); // 5 minutes
// Or use set_time_limit() function
set_time_limit(300); // 5 minutes
// Code to download large file
$file_url = 'http://example.com/large_file.zip';
$destination = 'downloads/large_file.zip';
file_put_contents($destination, file_get_contents($file_url));
