note 73031 added to function.ftp-connect

I've found that by using : $FTP = ftp_connect('ftp.host.com',$port,$timeout); takes a _LOT_ longer than doing $host = gethostbyname('ftp.host.com'); $FTP = ftp_connect($host,$port,$timeout); Which just doesnt make much sense to me, but this may help someone out there.. For me, it made the difference between a (fairly straight forward) script taking 60+ seconds to run, to it only taking < 8 secs... YMMV. ---- Server IP: 217.174.196.197 Probable Submitter: 86.16.154.166 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-connect.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73031 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73031/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73031/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73031/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73031/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73031/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73031/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73031 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73031 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
