Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=12360&edit=1 ID: 12360 Comment by: mars dot msn at gmail dot com Reported by: sheep at fearthisclan dot com Summary: fsockopen timeout doesn't work Status: No Feedback Type: Bug Package: Sockets related Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 4.3.2 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: With PHP 5.6 i am still experiencing this same problem. When an IP+PORT is blocked by a firewall, it doesn't timeout at the set time, but keeps waiting for 30seconds. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-10 18:21:07] adult at adult-inc dot biz Hello. I'm experiencing same problems with PHP 4.3.4 for Win32. ======== | CODE | ======== $socket = fsockopen($ip, $port, &$errno, &$errstr, 5); stream_set_blocking($socket, FALSE ); stream_set_timeout($socket, 5); fputs($socket, $request); $html = ""; while (!feof($socket)) { $html = $html.fgets($socket, 128); } fclose($socket); ========== | Result | ========== I got a fatal error after 30 seconds of running. I tried even 600 seconds in max_execution_time and have no luck - still have the same error. Looks like script hangs up while connecting to non-existent port on remote host. PS: Notice that i'm using only IP-addresses to connect, no hostnames! So the problem not in DNS-resolving. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-14 20:40:23] shelby at coolpage dot com Patching the DNS just eliminates the hanging on DNS. That doesn't fix the fact that the timeout isn't working. This is still broken, see: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=24867 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-03 07:02:31] johannes at zoomposters dot com I got it to work now by setting up my own dns server. It's apparently at the DNS lookup that the code hangs and where the timeout has no effect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-30 02:45:59] johannes at zoomposters dot com The timeout still doesn't work. The function doesn't hang but the timeout has no effect at all.
