max exec and fsock

[thecookie]

Anyone else but me got problems with PHP and the max_execution_time with fsocks?

When I try to read from a socket with a given lenght and there isn't enough data to read and/or when I try to put to a none existing socket, PHP enters a loop which it can't get out. The max_execution_time dosn't seem to work, it works with everything else but sockets.

My system: Win 2000 SP 2. Apache. php 4.1.1.

PHP uses 99% of my CPU after entering that loop, and I can't terminate it.. "Access denied" tho I am admin.. same with apache.. only solution I have found is to reboot, which is very annoying when you are developing something based on sockets

Anyone had the same problem and got a solution?

Thanks!

Try setting your sockets t non-blocking mode.

that will require you to change your script, but it will nolonger wait for data to be received on the socket before continueing.
