Hi,

I was wondering how i can limit a script from waiting too long for
a database query to return.

The problem is that it will wait an infinite time while performing a query on a
database when there is for example a lock on a table. I want it to exit/fail
when a set amount of time has passed.

set_time_limit() will not work because it does not have any affect on input..

Am i overlooking a function?
