# PHP and Jquery Ajax Batch Processing Big data

 * I am trying to batch process data using jquery Ajax and PHP. The problem is I
   am getting timeout issue because of the big data. The request never gets completed
   and the process dies in the middle.
 * One way could be to run ajax for certain time and then return the available response
   in chunk as the request is not completed in a single request. So, to sort out
   this issue, I tried using setTimeout so that the ajax runs multiple times but
   only for fixed amount of time. However, I am stuck in the middle. Checked some
   threads over here but had no help.
 *     ```
       function UpdateStatus(){
           $.getJSON(
             "fetch.php",
             {
             },
             function (data, textStatus){
               setTimeout(UpdateStatus, 10000);
             }
           );
         }
         UpdateStatus();
       ```
   
 * Can someone please shade some light on this?
 * Any help would be more than appreciable.

 * What’s your PHP Max Execution Time? What’s your PHP time limit?
 * If the data is too big, may be you have to change the way you are doing this.
   You could:
 * 1. Run REST API from your server asynchronously (look up asynchronous curl or
   node.js)
    2. Query your server for status (maybe every 10 secs)

 * Thank you [@a2hostingrj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/a2hostingrj/) for
   replying.
 * The time limit is set maximum. I have already changed the default 30 seconds.
   
   The problem is I am not fetching data from database. If I had been working with
   database then may be I would be diving the data into chunk may be using Primary
   Id and all. I don’t know how to do in the situation where you don’t know how 
   big of the data you are dealing with. I still believe this can be achieved using
   Php and jquery ajax. Can you please elaborate the points you have mentioned above?
 * Thank you.
