max_input_time in window php

changing max_input_time in php.ini does not make any difference.

What I am trying to do is wait for characters from the serial port, so when
i do a fgets($fh) it waits for a line of characters from the serial port.
If there is nothing there for 60 seconds then the program dies.

Is there any way of disabling the max_input_time time out feature?

set_time_limit(0);

within the code works for me - but if setting it in the config file doesn't
work, then this might not either.

I recommend using Colin’s solution (which works on Windows), and then
instead of waiting for input, do a polling loop checking for
status=data available. I have not done serial port input in a long
time (and certainly not in php), but that should work.
