[PHP-DEV] Bug #12773: gethostbyname with timeout From: richard <email protected>
Date: 08/15/01

From: richard <email protected>
Operating system:
PHP version: 4.0.6
PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: gethostbyname with timeout

gethostbyname can appear to hang indefinitely; I assume that this happens
if the expected DNS responses are not forthcoming. Unfortunately if this
happens in a webpage it can cause a cache or browser timeout, losing the
entire page. A variant of this function with an optional timeout parameter
would solve this problem.
