#24867 [NoF->Bgs]: problem with timeout parameter for fsockopen() function

ID: 24867 Updated by: wez@php.net Reported By: tomato at pisem dot net -Status: No Feedback +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Sockets related Operating System: FreeBSD-4.7-Stable PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment: We can't put a timeout in gethostbyname(). The connect() timeout works fine on sane systems. Note that FreeBSD has issues when connecting to filtered remote addresses; this is reportedly fixed in FreeBSD 5.3. There is no bug here that PHP can fix; move along.
