What are the potential reasons for longer execution times of a PHP script in the command line compared to browser execution?

One potential reason for longer execution times of a PHP script in the command line compared to browser execution could be due to differences in PHP configuration settings. To improve the performance of PHP scripts in the command line, you can adjust the configuration settings related to memory limits, execution time, and other relevant parameters.

// Set configuration settings for PHP script in command line
ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');
ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); // 5 minutes
// Add any other relevant configuration settings here
