strange error from nowhere

[808smokey]

I just started to get this error

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /hsphere/local/home/pzq0qw/aplus-computersonline.com/catalog/includes/functions/general.php on line 1162

Is that just my host slowing down because I've been getting random errors like that for the past few hours. Before that it was on line 1154, then 11XX at the bottom of the product pages and homepage. Then my category list gave the same error waited a few minutes reloaded the page and it was fixed???

 

If it's not the server how should I fix this?

 

Here's the code for those lines:

if (!isset($seeded)) {

      mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000);

      $seeded = true;

    }

 

    if (isset($min) && isset($max)) {

      if ($min >= $max) {

        return $min;

      } else {

        return mt_rand($min, $max);

      }

    } else {

      return mt_rand();

    }

  }

 

Thanks

Did you ever get the answer to your question? I am experiencing the same issue.
