How can timeout problems be avoided in PHP file uploads?

Timeout problems in PHP file uploads can be avoided by increasing the maximum execution time and maximum input time in the PHP configuration settings. This will allow longer processing times for file uploads without timing out.

// Increase maximum execution time and maximum input time
ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); // 5 minutes
ini_set('max_input_time', 300); // 5 minutes
