Bug #16261: fsockopen() does not timeout

From: jroberts@forumone.com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Sockets related Bug description: fsockopen() does not timeout I'm specifying a timeout of 0.2 seconds, but the fsockopen() function is taking as long as 3-4 seconds with slow domains (I know www.krasnapolsky.sr to be slow). This example took about 3.6 seconds. CODE: echo microtime(); echo fsockopen("www.krasnapolsky.sr", 80, &$errno, &$errstr, 0.2); echo microtime(); echo "Error Number = $errno, Error String = $errstr"; RESULT: 0.39859300 1016822517 Resource id #1 0.04482100 1016822521 Error Number = 0, Error String = So the socket is opened -- it just took way longer than I intended to allow it. Setting the timeout to an integer (e.g. 1) does not work either (although the documentation says it can be of type float). I reported this previously under bug 14740, but that thread was related to win 98 and 2k, where the timeout is not expected to work. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16261&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16261&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16261&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16261&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16261&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16261&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16261&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16261&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16261&r=submittedtwice
