How can the timeout settings on a server affect the execution of a PHP script, especially when processing a large number of database entries?

The timeout settings on a server can affect the execution of a PHP script, especially when processing a large number of database entries, as the script may exceed the maximum execution time allowed and be terminated prematurely. To solve this issue, you can increase the timeout settings on the server to allow the PHP script enough time to complete the processing of all database entries. 

// Set the maximum execution time to 300 seconds (5 minutes)
ini_set('max_execution_time', 300);

// Set the maximum input time to 300 seconds (5 minutes)
ini_set('max_input_time', 300);

// Set the maximum memory limit to 256M
ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');
