I tried 10, 5 and 0. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-22 14:21:58] wez@php.net Try adjusting the default_socket_timeout ini setting, which defaults to 60 seconds. ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 10); fsockopen(...); (I know you shouldn't need to do this, but it will help me to figure out what is going on) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-22 13:45:37] sheep at fearthisclan dot com Maybe I can be a little more specific about the behavior. Whenever my program tries to query a server that is down, the socket seems to prevent php from doing anything at all. The max_execution_time of 30 seconds does not even step in and give a fatal error after 30 seconds of running. If there has been a fix or if you know around this I'd really like to know. I'm not sure how willing these guys will be to use a CVS or not, but if you tell me its fixed in one of them I could try and ask them to. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
