Description
Description
I encountered an issue where the MYSQLI_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT option and the mysql.connect_timeout setting do not work as expected when attempting to connect to a non-responsive server. The connection attempt hangs instead of timing out.
In contrast, when attempting to connect to a non-existent server, the connection attempt fails immediately.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Set up a non-responsive server.
I made it by python like this(tcp_server.py):
import socket
HOST = '0.0.0.0'
PORT = 12345
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
s.bind((HOST, PORT))
s.listen()
print(f"Listening on {HOST}:{PORT}")
while True:
conn, addr = s.accept()
print(f"Connected by {addr}")
- Use the mysqli extension to connect to this server with the
MYSQLI_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUToption set.
<?php
$connect = @mysqli_init();
mysqli_options($connect, MYSQLI_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 5);
@mysqli_real_connect($connect, 'host.docker.internal', 'user', 'password', null, 12345, "", 0);
- Observe that the connection attempt does not timeout as expected.
Expected Behavior:
The connection attempt should timeout after 5 seconds as specified MYSQLI_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT duration and rise an exception.
Actual Behavior:
The connection attempt hangs without timing out.
I used the following PHP.
php -v
PHP 8.2.21 (cli) (built: Jul 23 2024 06:55:37) (NTS)

The mysqlnd.net_read_timeout and MYSQL_OPT_READ_TIMEOUT options work, but they affect not only the connection handshake but also every query execution, which is not desirable for our use case.
