PHP script keeps timing out (nginx 504 gateway error)

Question

I am running a very large script (importing data from a CSV file to a database). The CSV file contains thousands of rows, hence why the script times out.

The script is also being run on a shared-server (if this helps).

I have tried changing the max_execution_time to 60, set_time_limit to 0 (and 300) and finally I tried using ignore_user_abort(true) to check if this continues the script after the user aborts.

Could somebody please advise?

Thank you

Execute the script from your SSH shell. Like: php yourfile.php. Then you won't endup with this timeout shizzles.
