Hiya, thats not true... register_tcik_function is for between 2 instructions (lines?) and will not break into a long takeing mysql_select (correct me if i'm wrong)

I think so, too :) If reporter is intended selectively timeout while script is executing, tick function can be used.

But i still think that such a function will improve php

I agree. I'm not sure if this should be implemented as basic feature or not. IMO, timeout feature is better(easier) to implement function by function. BTW, use PostgreSQL if you need to cancel long query :) -- Yasuo Ohgaki
