[PHP] Re: Can't set expect.timeout
Dear friends, I am still hoping to get an answer to this question (see below). Kindly please see if you can run the test on your site. Any insight is very much welcome!

Re: [PHP] Re: Can't set expect.timeout
Dear Rob, The default value of expect.timeout is 10 (minutes), which is what I would get if I don't do any ini_set(). I could set the value to 0 but not to any values. What do you mean by inaccessible at runtime? I could set another related parameter expect.logfile to, say, /tmp/tmp (as reported by phpinfo()). This problem looks like a bug to me. I will be most grateful if someone can try out the test program on their site. Thanks in advance!

It may be that expect.timeout is not accessible at runtime. Cheers, Rob. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Can't set expect.timeout
Ash, Thanks for your answer. I am quite sure that I do have the needed permission to effect the change. As you can tell from my test script, I was able to set timeout to 0 (zero), and I could also set logfile to /tmp/tmp. I just could not set timeout to any values other than 0 or the default value of 10. I was testing on a local machine. Thanks!

Thanks! Clement Do you have permissions to change this ini setting? Some hosting companies disallow certain variables to be set through ini_set and only allow them to be done via .htaccess, and some go even further by disallowing certain ones to be changed at all. Have you tried it on a different hosting (i.e. on your local machine) ?
