From: [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. -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=12773&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
