php GearmanClient timeout

Question

I'm using the gearman pecl extension in php, and want to have a timeout for a function call. Two use cases: (1) no running workers, (2) worker takes too long to complete

If everything is running, the call is very fast, and I want to avoid having an overhead for this timeout.

Code I currently use:

$client = new GearmanClient();
$client->addServer();
$client->do('nonexistingfunction');

I have a related but slightly more complex use case, so have asked a new question here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49036819/get-response-from-multiple-jobs-in-gearman-but-abort-after-a-timeout/49049263 — IMSoP, Mar 01 '18 at 12:30

Just call GearmanClient::setTimeout method with number of milliseconds to wait:

$client = new GearmanClient();
$client->addServer();
$client->setTimeout(5000);

I think this the timeout for I/O communication with the gearman deamon and won't help with my issue. – Niko Sams Jul 15 '12 at 16:21
