PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time in Common.php on line 269

Hi there, i seem to be getting fatal errors occasionally and the apache error log points to the following.

[Tue Dec 09 18:43:20 2008] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in ...system\\codeigniter\\Common.php on line 269, referer: http://...

Line 269 refers to:

Code:

function _exception_handler($severity, $message, $filepath, $line)

I'm not currently using this function although i understand codeigniter uses it to log php errors.

Anyone got a clue why this might be happening?

Thanks.

To me it looks like you have infinite loop somewhere in your code...

Could be i suppose, i'll have a look around, thanks

If it is an infinite loop and you are having difficulty finding it, then turn up your execution time (max_execution_time in php.ini) and turn down your memory limit (memory_limit in php.ini) and hopefully your script will bomb in the loop its stuck in once it gobbles up all the memory its allowed to.

Thanks, it seemed to only be a problem on my dev server and not my live.
