note 58970 deleted from function.gethostbyaddr by googleguy

Note Submitter: respaldod at gmail dot com ---- There is a small flaw in the timeout implementation of King Macro's very useful sockets-based function gethostbyaddr_timeout() below. The parameters for socket_set_timeout, an alias for stream_set_timeout(), are like this: ( resource stream, int seconds [, int microseconds] ) So if you want to use his parameters, and assuming the $timeout param should be in milliseconds, you could first convert to microseconds $timeout *= 1000; And then change the socket_set_timeout so you have seconds and microseconds along these lines: @socket_set_timeout($handle, floor($timeout/1000000), $timeout%1000000);
