What are some common reasons for the timeout parameter not working as expected in the fsockopen function?

The timeout parameter in the fsockopen function may not work as expected due to network latency, server response time, or incorrect implementation of the timeout value. To solve this issue, you can set the timeout value in seconds before calling the fsockopen function to ensure that the connection attempt does not exceed the specified time limit. 

$timeout = 10; // Set timeout value to 10 seconds
$socket = fsockopen('example.com', 80, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);
if (!$socket) {
    echo "Error: $errstr ($errno)";
} else {
    // Perform actions with the socket connection
    fclose($socket);
}
