I Need to Allow set_time_limit() (PHP Advanced)

[GG-Xtreme]

I have a simple sitemap generator script that does not use a lot of resources and is supposed to be run by cron jobs every hour or two. The problem is, this script takes a very long time to complete, and if it times out, you must click a certain link in the script output so that it may complete successfully . Of course, cron jobs is unable to do this, and the script never completes a successful run. Is it possible to allow set_time_limit() for PHP Advanced? Are sitemap generators not allowed? Is there another sitemap generator that can successfully complete without using this function?

Ok, I'll forget about this for now. I've found a sitemap generator that is better suited to my site, that never runs for more than 2 seconds and that takes up hardly any memory at all. It's not perfect, but it will do for now.
Edit:
Now this is becoming a bit annoying. Every time I get a function enabled or change my script to get things working, two more functions are disabled that break everything again. As has been the problem for the past week or so, I need fopen working, as file_get_contents gives me an invalid resource error when using any variables tied to it.
Edit:
Okay, I have noticed the major problem here. All of these functions (fopen, file_get_contents, etc.) work just fine if I run the script from my browser. But if I run it via cron jobs, it keeps telling me that the function has been disabled. This makes cron jobs mostly useless. Can an admin look into this?

If you run them via cron job use php-cron as the binary instead of php.

For example:
php-cron -q /home/user/public_html/mycron.php
