#20819 [Opn->Bgs]: max_execution_time ignored when waiting for open socket read

ID: 20819 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: richard@zuidhof.nl -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Operating System: Linux 2.2.20 (Debian) PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Use stream_set_timeout() to set the socket read timeouts, since socket reads don't take cpu time, which is what max_execution_time is referring to. While your script is sitting on a socket waiting for data, it does not use any CPU time. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-04 17:21:32] richard@zuidhof.nl When PHP is waiting for a socket read the max_exection_time parameter is ignored. I was trying to use PHP scripts to monitor server response times but when there is a problem the script does not kill itself. It does not matter how I specify the max_execution_time. For instance like this: php4 -d max_execution_time 5 This behaviour was already in all previous versions I used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20819&edit=1
