title: Php set_time_limit not available, is there any other way around?
body: <p>I have a site that I must develop and my client has a shared hosting. And as such, php is running in safe mode, thus I can not use set_time_limit.
  I have a lot of xml files that I have to upload into mysql, which will take much more than 30s. Is there anything I can do on this environment?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
