Question - 93 : - How can we increase the execution time of a php script?
Answer - 93 : - By the use of void set_time_limit(int seconds)
Set the number of seconds a script is allowed to run. If this is reached, the script returns a fatal error. The default limit is 30 seconds or, if it exists, the max_execution_time value defined in the php.ini. If seconds is set to zero, no time limit is imposed.
When called, set_time_limit() restarts the timeout counter from zero. In other words, if the timeout is the default 30 seconds, and 25 seconds into script execution a call such as set_time_limit(20) is made, the script will run for a total of 45 seconds before timing out.
Question - 94 : - HOW CAN WE TAKE A BACKUP OF A MYSQL TABLE AND HOW CAN WE RESTORE IT?
Answer - 94 : - 1) - Create a full backup of your database: shell> mysqldump tab=/path/to/some/dir opt db_name

’ To restore: RESTORE TABLE tbl_name FROM /path/to/backup/directory
