PHP max execution time
<p>Is it going to be a strain on my server if I am using PHP scripts to download a file while the file is very large, and it takes around 4 minutes to download it via PHP. Currently I'm executing the script in the browser, but when I switch to my linux server it will be executed via the shell. Right now I have put this in my script:</p>

<pre><code>ini_set('max_execution_time', 5000); 
</code></pre>

<p>Are there any negative factors to using <strong>ini_set</strong> I should be aware of when it takes quite a bit of time for a PHP script to execute because it is download a large .ZIP file? Should I have to worry about memory leaks?</p>
