When I open the security page in my xamp (from my local host) I get this message:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\xampp\security\htdocs\security.php on line 100

Why is it that I receive this message?

It is taking longer than 30 seconds to execute. You can increase the max execution time in the php.ini file.

max_execution_time

Okay so, I found the php.ini file but where do i make the changes and how do i put it back on xampp...

I am just trying to figure out what the log in is for my phpmyadmin...

Sorry, updated the post after you saw it.

max_execution_time = 30

I am pretty sure the default login is
User: root
Pass: root

There is no log-in because you just click the tab and it open the phpmyadmin

Maybe I miss something I had this install about a year ago.

how do I save it if I change the max_execution_time to 60?

And why is it that when I open up the file it doesn't look like code? it looks more like a bunch of commenting done in a way I have not seen it before...

on my xampp, there is a link to phpmyadmin, does that mean I have to download it or does that mean it is already installed when I installed xampp?

It is supposed to be installed by default already.

Also where is max_execution_time when I open up the file....?

Sorry mods for my excessive posting...

okay, where is that in my php.ini file?

I have to point this out, this is like the fastest pace assistance in the history of daniweb :) we are posting every like 20 seconds... sorry I had to point that out.

On your php.ini file:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Resource Limits ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
; http://php.net/max-execution-time
; Note: This directive is hardcoded to 0 for the CLI SAPI
max_execution_time = 60

The php.ini file doesn't have "code", it is just an ini file with configuration settings.
If you open it up in notepad you should be able to find a line in the file that has max_execution_time.

Just change the value for this and hit save, that's all.

Okay, I am searching the php.ini file and there is almost 2100 lines of code... where would it be in the "code"?
