Hi, I was wondering how i can limit a script from waiting too long for a database query to return. The problem is that it will wait an infinite time while performing a query on a database when there is for example a lock on a table. I want it to exit/fail when a set amount of time has passed. set_time_limit() will not work because it does not have any affect on input.. Am i overlooking a function? -- Jeroen
