note 58970 added to function.gethostbyaddr

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); ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gethostbyaddr.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58970 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58970&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58970&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58970&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58970&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58970&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58970&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58970&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58970&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
