Description:
------------
I'm trying to do socket connection with group of servers and for the server's that did not work function fsockopen() runs around 300-500 sec even the timeout is 10 sec.
i heard the problem was that this timeout used only in connect function, but not in gethostbyname
i read that you fixed this problem long time ago.. but my version is PHP 4.3.2RC4 (cli) (built: Jun 19 2003 14:41:09)
and the problem is still exists



 

Reproduce code:
---------------
$fp = fsockopen($href,$port,$errno,$errstr,10);


Expected result:
----------------
connect or failed to connect after 10 seconds or less

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: fsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No address associated with hostname in /.../script.php

We can't put a timeout in gethostbyname().
The connect() timeout works fine on sane systems.
Note that FreeBSD has issues when connecting to filtered remote addresses; this is reportedly fixed in FreeBSD 5.3.
There is no bug here that PHP can fix; move along.
