seconds

The seconds part of the timeout to be set.

microseconds

The microseconds part of the timeout to be set.

Return Values

Returns true on success or false on failure.

Examples

Example #1 stream_set_timeout() example

<?php
$fp = fsockopen("www.example.com", 80);
if (!$fp) {
    echo "Unable to open\n";
} else {

    fwrite($fp, "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n");
    stream_set_timeout($fp, 2);
    $res = fread($fp, 2000);

    $info = stream_get_meta_data($fp);
    fclose($fp);

    if ($info['timed_out']) {
        echo 'Connection timed out!';
    } else {
        echo $res;
    }

}
?>

Notes

Note:

This function doesn't work with advanced operations like stream_socket_recvfrom(), use stream_select() with timeout parameter instead.

This function was previously called as set_socket_timeout() and later socket_set_timeout() but this usage is deprecated.
