How to setup a timeout on PHP exec() command on Windows?

Question

I am running some php exec commands on PHP - CLI Some of these exec() take too long.

So my idea is to setup a 60 seconds timeout on the exec()

I found some solutions for Linux, but I could not adapt them on windows (pipe/processes...)

Any idea on how to trigger a timeout on windows php cli exec() command ?

Answer 1

$intExecutionTimeout = 60;
$strCommand = 'wget http://google.com';

$strCommand = 'timeout --signal=15 --kill-after=' . ( $intExecutionTimeout* 2 ) . 's ' . $intExecutionTimeout . 's ' . $strCommand . ' &';

exec( $strCommand, $arrstrResponse );

Answer 2

try timeout command in CLI:

$time = 60;
$command = 'wget http://google.com';
exec(sprintf("C:\Windows\System32\timeout.exe /t %d %s", $time, $command), $output);
