Hello,

I'd like to send here an Feature Request in case of this will of course helpfull for a lot of people who're working with PHP.

I missing a function - say it "timerun()".
The idea behind this is to have an control mechanism which kill the request of the function when an result or Error is not return in between 10 sed (for exp.).

Often I run in a Situation where such a kind of function would be great.

Example:
 - connect to an Database ( Oracle ) with PEAR or manual
 - connection established
 - send a query()
   - this does not return due propebly an too high load in a
     given time
 - here comes the timerun() in play - which will stop the query execution by given time.

Cheers
-Peter
