Req #12802 [Com]: gethostbyname/gethostbyaddr timeout
Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=12802edit=1 ID: 12802 Comment by: zach dot bailey at pardot dot com Reported by:cheapsalsa at yahoo dot com Summary:gethostbyname/gethostbyaddr timeout Status: Assigned Type: Feature/Change Request Package:*General Issues PHP Version:* Assigned To:pajoye Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Please, please, please consider adding this. It's a huge scalability/performance issue anytime a call out to an external service is not bounded with a timeout. PHP users are having to resort to ridiculous workarounds to something that should be built into the core language. It's unfathomable that PHP has functions like the ability to get the time that the sun will rise for a certain date and location but it can't be bothered with having a timeout on an extremely common function. Previous Comments: [2012-09-25 12:34:49] tyr...@php.net any progress on this? [2010-11-19 02:06:51] paj...@php.net It will be available when committed. [2010-11-19 01:37:47] tyra3l at gmail dot com can I access that implementation from userspace right now? if there is a way, then it's fine for me as is, but I wouldn't dare to change the current implementation of those functions. so maybe the best would be to add new userspace functions for the async behaviour. Tyrael [2010-11-19 01:07:41] paj...@php.net We have an implementation, only a matter of using it instead of get*. I have some patch for that, adding some features for the DNS APIs. It should be easy to modify this function while being at it. [2010-11-19 00:53:25] tyra3l at gmail dot com maybe we could use some non-blocking dns library? http://c-ares.haxx.se/ Tyrael The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.

These functions are implemented by the operating systems. Without creating a thread for the get* hosts, we won't have any control on the timeout.

This kind of indeterminism is very crippling to trying to use these functions in a feature that interacts with the user. [2003-08-10 22:54:12] grimtraffic at hotmail dot com To be honest, no timeout has really made it hard to log users. There is no point of logging IP's because they change too often for dial-up users, and with my page timing out every third time someone goes to it, I now have troubles. By the way, 2 out of 3 who use gethostbyaddr have an issue with it timing out constantly. [2003-02-05 06:19:54] sergi at millorsoft dot es Is this bug still open? I think it's a really important bug and can cause very long retards when the DNS lookup doesn't respond or some DNS server is unreacheable. The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.

[2001-08-16 21:03:38] cheapsalsa at yahoo dot com I propose creating a timeout argument on the gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr.
