By default a PHP script times out after 30 seconds.  Maybe that's what
you're noticing?  There are numerous ways you can override it.  Let's assume
you want to set it to 10 minutes.

Edit php.ini to set globally:
max_execution_time = 600

Add to VirtualHost container in httpd.conf to set for a specific site:
php_value max_execution_time 600

Add to .htaccess to set for files within a specific directory:
php_value max_execution_time 600

Set within a specific script:
set_time_limit( 600 );

HTH,
