hi..
i have the problem that i need to connect to a database on a server wich
is quiet often offline.
how can i connect to this database (mysql) and can check if the server is
online.
like.. if server is online -> fine we work as normaly
if server is NOT online -> print out message and say "server offline try
later"....
i tried something like mysql_connect and then die ...
but it takes approx 5 mins.. till i get the message..
do i have to set the timeout lower? and if yes.. how do i do that ?
