PHP cURL timeout is not working



I'm having a server issue. I'm running a local server (for developing) and I've changed my local server from MAMP to XAMPP. However, on XAMPP, the cURL option CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS or CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS gives me the next error:







Warning: curl_setopt() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given







Is this because of the PHP or cURL version? Maybe a configuration setting?





curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS, 2500);





Additional information:





  • OSX 10.6.8



  • PHP 5.3.1



  • cURL 7.19.7







Thanks in advance.








Edit: There seems to be some confusion about the error and the variable to set. The error states that parameter 2 is invalid. Not parameter 3 . So the CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS seems to be the issue.







curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS, 2500);

^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^

parameter: #1 #2 #3







Fun fact: var_dump(CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS); displays string(25) "CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS" . Just like the error states, it's a string instead of a float.

  1. For some reason, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS is defined incorrectly in your version of PHP. I'd check with whatever distribution of PHP you're using and find out whether it's a general bug.

    The correct value is 156: you should be able to use this instead:

    curl_setopt($this->ch, /*CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS */ 156, 2500);


    NB that you really really really need to add comments explaining why you're doing this.

  2. After reading your comments, I am sure PHP should also have raised the following warning:


    Notice: Use of undefined constant CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS - assumed
    'CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS'


    After looking at curl_setopt() manual, I noticed this sidenote:


    CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS: Added in cURL 7.16.2. Available since PHP
    5.2.3.


    So make sure the above assertion is true (look at output of phpinfo() to determine PHP and cURL version). Alternately, use CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT if the millisecond resolution is not really necessary.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
