Had to dig to find the undocumented connection_timeout parameter you can
use in the soapclient and thought I'd share it here for anyone doing a
search in the future:
setting a connection timeout
$client = new SoapClient($wsdl, array("connection_timeout"=>5));
ideally you'd have two timeouts set in your application one for how long
it should take to actually connect to your remote host and a timeout for
how long the socket connection should wait for a response from the server
the above addresses the time it takes to wait to connect to your host
and this addresses the time to wait for a response
ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 180);
I would wrap this in a configuration option in case you distribute your
package and different clients might need different timeouts when dealing
with slow soap server responses.
// SET SOCKET TIMEOUT
if(defined('RESPONSE_TIMEOUT') && RESPONSE_TIMEOUT != '') {
ini_set('default_socket_timeout', RESPONSE_TIMEOUT);
}
