note 80723 added to ref.mysql

Is there any way to do a non-blocking connect / query? I am trying to avoid having my application hang if/when mysql is having issues What would be great is some sort of select() functionality.. If I could start a connect or a query and then be notified when it is ready and or timeout If anyone has any insight, please let me know Thanks ---- Server IP: 216.235.15.211 Probable Submitter: 24.150.69.2 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/80723 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80723/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80723/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80723/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80723/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80723/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80723/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80723 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/80723 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
