PHP max_execution_time Shows Wrong Value

Question

I'm using the following to display the max_execution_time of the servers PHP settings:

echo 'max_execution_time = ' . ini_get('max_execution_time') . '';

It returns the value as 0.

However, when I check phpinfo() it shows the value is 30.

Can anyone suggest why ini_get isn't returning the correct value? All other settings return the correct value.

Using php 5.3.28.

Many thanks.

Make sure it is not override to 0 for that specific project by setting it in config or .htaccess file. — Rikesh

Also make sure there is no ini_set for max_execution_time before that. — Volkan Ulukut

The ini_get() function returns the value stored in the php.ini of a certain parameter.

The phpinfo() returns the current used values of all available parameters.

The max_execution_time parameter probably does not appear in your php.ini file, and thus the response of the ini_get() function will be 0, however this parameter is mandatory for php and have a default value of 30 seconds if not defined in the php.ini
