multi curl - mCURL and Timeout in PHP5

[sbutt]

Hi Folks,

          I'm using PHP 5.2.4 with curl-7.17.0 patch. Now when I run this following small code snippet, 

<?php
// create both cURL resources
$ch1 = curl_init();
$ch2 = curl_init();

// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_easy_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5);
curl_easy_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.php.net/");
curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5);
curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);


//create the multiple cURL handle
$mh = curl_multi_init();

//add the two handles
curl_multi_add_handle($mh,$ch1);
curl_multi_add_handle($mh,$ch2);

$running=null;
//execute the handles
do {
curl_multi_exec($mh,$running);
if($running == 0){
echo "Suleman";    
echo "||";
echo $running;
}
} while ($running > 0);

//close the handles
curl_multi_remove_handle($mh,$ch1);
curl_multi_remove_handle($mh,$ch2);
curl_multi_close($mh);

?> 

 

 

I get this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_easy_setopt() ..at line 7.

 

Now could anybody please tell me how can i use 'curl_easy_setopt()' function with "CURLOPT_TIMEOUT" option?

 

The default curl_setopt() method with simple timeout param provides timeout value only in seconds, where as i want to set the value for the timeout in milliseconds. And i'm opening parallel connections to the urls (multi curl).

There's no such function as curl_easy_setopt()...

 

If you want to use milliseconds instead of seconds, try:

<?php curl_setopt($ch1, CURL_TIMEOUT, 5/1000); ?>

 

 

Orio.

curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 500/1000);

  ==> 0.5 seconds

 

This change makes the application hang.

 

If i increase the value to

curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 1500/1000);

  ==> 1.5 seconds

 

This works but then i guess it takes the rounded integeral value that is 1 in this case and leave the rest. In case of 0.5 seconds as there is no integeral value so it hangs.

 

Just my guess.
