Now that you mention it, I am not aware of any way to override that timeout setting. The socket extension is still experimental, I believe, with hopes of changing its status soon. Perhaps this is something someone is working on. As a possible way around this, could you possible solve your problem by opening a socket as a virtual file pointer instead? For example, this would only wait 5 seconds for a connection: $fp=fsockopen($host, $port, $err_num, $err_message, "5"); You can treat $fp like any other file pointer, so it is actually a pretty convenient way to read/write to sockets.
