Code crashes with error maximum execution time 300 secs

I've not used sockets before, so I don't have much to say on the subject.

However, at the beginning of the code of the tutorial I linked to, you'll see:

Code:

set_time_limit (0);

That may be your solution. As far as I am aware, you need to execute your code once to set up the listener, and then from that point on it's up to you where your app flow goes. Since I can't see how you're setting up your listener, I can't really comment.
