    <p>I put together a simple script that pulls the product name, category name and product id from two tables. Then I take that data and use it to create a page title that's better than what I currently have for SEO purposes. For some reason I didn't think it would take as long as it's taking to run. There are 7k products. </p> <p>My hosting company does allow the creation of a custom php.ini so I was able to override the 30 second time limit and changed it to 6000. But still the script times out. So I thought my script my suck. :)</p> <p>Below is the script. Is there a better way I could write this so it doesn't time out? Or is what I'm trying to do just going to take some time and I need to write the script to do one category at a time?</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php // Make a MySQL Connection mysql_connect("localhost", "myusername", "mypassword") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("mydatabase") or die(mysql_error()); $result = mysql_query("SELECT isc_products.prodcode, isc_products.prodname, isc_categories.catname FROM isc_products, isc_categories WHERE isc_products.prodcatids = isc_categories.categoryid") or die(mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ $pname = mysql_real_escape_string($row['prodname']); $catname = mysql_real_escape_string($row['catname']); $sitename = Sitename; $prodcode = $row['prodcode']; $result2 = mysql_query("UPDATE isc_products SET prodpagetitle = '$pname - $catname - $sitename' WHERE prodcode = '$prodcode'") or die(mysql_error()); } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p><a href="http://www.threewestcreative.com/indexes.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">indexes http://www.threewestcreative.com/indexes.jpg</a></p> <p>Thanks, your help is appreciated. :)</p> <p>Thanks SO much everyone! I really appreciate the quick responses. I can't believe I overlooked something so simple as running a direct query against the database (without php). Geez... Thanks again!</p>

    1. COSince you are selecting so many rows, try using something like Navicat to run the query directly (instead of via php) to deteremine if the database is the bottle neck.

    3. COYou don't need to mysql_real_escape_string data you got from mysql. Also I don't see your sitename constant? You also don't need to do this, you can update mysql data from selected rows, without even using PHP http://www.electrictoolbox.com/article/mysql/cross-table-update/

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
