Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51306&edit=1 ID: 51306 User updated by: ToddWW at Gmail dot com Reported by: ToddWW at Gmail dot com Summary: gethostbyaddr time limit Status: Duplicate Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Network related Operating System: CentOS PHP Version: 5.2.13 New Comment: Considering that was almost 10 years ago and no fix I thought we might want to get this taken care of. It seems like a very simple fix.

However, if there is no host name to return it stalls and takes 20-30 seconds PER IP lookup. If it CAN return a host name it does so in <1 second. Example - I can loop through 5 IPs that resolve to hostnames in .7 seconds. This includes database calls, and updates. Example 2 - I can loop through 5 IPs that DO NOT resolve to hostnames in 3 minutes!!! This needs to be fixed, or a second parameter option for max look-up time per-ip. gethostbyaddr(IP,Max_Execution_Time) as example. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51306&edit=1
