What is the potential impact of changing the "max_execution_time" in the php.ini file?

Changing the "max_execution_time" in the php.ini file can impact the maximum amount of time a PHP script is allowed to run before being terminated. This can be useful for preventing long-running scripts from consuming excessive server resources or causing timeouts. However, increasing this value too high can also potentially lead to performance issues or allow problematic scripts to run indefinitely.

// Set the maximum execution time to 60 seconds
ini_set('max_execution_time', 60);
