Bug #3830 Updated: Function to timeout/break off a function

ID: 3830 Updated by: torben Reported By: wico@cnh.nl Old Status: Closed Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: linux Old PHP Version: 4.0 Beta 4 Patch Level 1 PHP Version: 4.2.0-dev New Comment: No, you can't. :) The ticks stuff won't stop a function which is tied up in a function call such as sleep. This does sound like something which would be nice to have... I've also updated the version number on this to 4.2.0-dev Torben Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-28 16:54:34] yohgaki@php.net register_tick_function() can be used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-07-31 22:49:52] waldschrott@php.net well, could be quite nice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-03-14 11:27:16] wico@cnh.nl Hiya, i did like to see a function wich breaks into another when it take to long: <? funtion Hour () { sleep 3600; } // break after say 2 secs $timeout = Timeout_function(hour(), 2); if ($timeout) { // function took to long } else { // function compledet normal } ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=3830&edit=1
