Re: socket timeout

Take a look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.socket-set-timeout.php Quote: 'this function _does_not_ work on sockets which connect to a port you set up using the sockets-family of functions. it only seems to work for connections using fsock and fopen. (and functions which are derived from these)' Stephen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gareth Thomas" <gdthomas@mercurysoft.com> To: <php-windows@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 4:55 PM Subject: [PHP-WIN] socket timeout Hi, I am attempting to timeout a socket_read() that is part of a handshaking process using socket_set_timeout(). Problem is it doesn't seem to work at all. If I switch off the handshaking write on the server side the read just sits there and doesn't time out at all. I have tried socket_set_timeout($socket,1) which I believe is 1 second and it never times out... Any thoughts on this would be most appreciated. Gareth
