but im stil getting these 2 (3) errors.

Warning: set_time_limit() [function.set-time-limit]: Cannot set time limit in safe mode in /html2pdf.class.php on line 3

Warning: set_time_limit() [function.set-time-limit]: Cannot set time limit in safe mode in /_class/parsingCss.class.php on line 3

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /_class/parsingCss.class.php on line 1242

Do someone have an ideer to fix this ?

I can't get to the php.ini file.

Answer 1

When you get an error, take that opportunity to read the docs. In this case, the docs for set_time_limit().

This function has no effect when PHP is running in safe mode. There is no workaround other than turning off safe mode or changing the time limit in the php.ini.
