Php versions – PHP – ini_set() expects parameter 2 to be string, integer given

I have this part of code:

...
ini_set('max_execution_time', 300);
...

Until now it worked. Now i am getting this error:

ini_set() expects parameter 2 to be string, integer given

What has changed? Can it be caused by PHP version?

    Not sure how it was working for you. Here is the reference. Second parameter needs to be string data type.

    Maybe you was using a variable to set it until now and that variable was somehow getting casted to string? not sure.

    Anyways, just use string instead of an integer as second parameter:

    ini_set('max_execution_time', '300');

    and you should be good.

    Weird enough, just now i noticed, giving second parameter as integer is working on my Server.

    Also Here, if you search with “ini_set”, the example is given with second parameter as integer:

    ini_set('assert.exception', 1);

    It is weird why its not working for you.

    PHP actually expects both parameters of ini_set() to be of type string and returns a string:

    ini_set ( string $varname , string $newvalue ) : string

    You can find this in the PHP manual on ini_set.

    If you have set strict_types with

    declare(strict_types=1);

    then you will have to change your ini_set() values to 

    ini_set('max_execution_time', '300');

    PHP accept the key value pair in string in PHP ini_set().

    ini_set("max_execution_time", "300");
