 New Comment:

As of PHP 5.6.1 the $nowait parameter is available, which appears
to provide an even more flexible solution to the timeout problem.

Do you agree?

You can do this with pcntl_alarm() and pcntl_signal() to send yourself the SIGALRM POSIX signal
after a 
number of seconds.

<?php

declare(ticks = 1);

function handle_timeout() {
  throw new Exception('Semaphore acquire timeout');
}

pcntl_signal(SIGALRM, 'handle_timeout');

$key = ftok(__FILE__, 'R');
$sem = sem_get($key);

pcntl_alarm(10);
sem_acquire($sem);
pcntl_alarm(0);

echo 'Semaphore acquired :)';
sem_release($sem);

Description:
------------
Should be great if there was an optional parameter (default = 0) in function sem_acquire to pass a
timeout (in seconds).

Maybe send a warning no semaphore timeout ;)

Reproduce code:
---------------
Something like

<?php
$key = ftok(__FILE__, 'R');
$sem = sem_get($key);
if(sem_acquire($sem, 10)) {
  echo 'Semaphore acquire failed. Timeout?';
}
else {
  echo 'Semaphore acquired :)';
  sem_release($sem);
}
?>
