    UPDATED: Thanks, found the cause: gethostbyname takes a lot of time. Thread should be closed.

    Hello,

    I have a piece like this
    $f=fsockopen($ip, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);

    I set $timeout=3, but sometimes fsockopen doesn't timeout.
    It hangs until the connection is created, and takes about 5 - 25 seconds.

    I already set the default_socket_timeout=3 using ini_set();

    Can you guys help me please :)
