Bug #17667: mysql_replica_connect

From: msopacua@idg.nl Operating system: Any PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: mysql_replica_connect Hi, I'd like to request the function mysql_replica_connect: resource mysql_replica_connect(array primary_props, array secondary_props, int hard_timeout) array primary- / secondary_props should be: array( 'hostname' => 'a hostname or ip', 'port' => 'a port or absolute path to socket', 'username' => 'a username', 'password' => 'a password', ); The int hard_timeout should behave in the exact manner as fsockopen does: ie - drop the connection attempt if it's passed. This is different than what mysql_connect() does now, because it will timeout until PHP_INI("max_execution_time") has passed, in case the __host__ is unreachable. Another way would probably be, to provide a hard timeout on mysql_connect. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17667&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17667&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17667&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17667&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17667&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17667&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17667&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17667&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17667&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17667&r=globals
