A few months ago I modified PHP 3.0.16 to add an optional fourth
parameter to the mysql_connect() functions.  The parameter specifies
a timeout (in seconds) on the connect().  The patch simply uses the
existing mysql_options() function in the MySQL library so it's
quite stable code.

I'm in the process of upgrading to PHP 4.0.4pl1 and so I've made
a comparable change to that code base.

Here are the patches for each version:

http://www.winux.com/php/connection_timeout_php-3.0.16.txt
http://www.winux.com/php/connection_timeout_php-4.0.4pl1.txt

Since the timeout parameter is optional, the change is completely upward
compatible with the existing languages.  It's a wonderful thing.

Is there any chance either of these might make it into the official release?

To use the mysql_options connect_timeout parameter set the 
value mysql.connect_timeout in your php.ini file. Its 
supported since PHP 4.3.0 (current cvs tree).
