Not in PHP. The browser will time out after whatever setting the
browser has. And this won't be until the PHP code on the server has
finished.

You could get around this with AJAX (see comp.lang.javascript), but the
question is - what are you doing which takes this long? People are not
going to wait very long for a web page to load. And if the browser is
timing out, that's way too long.
