Php curl timing out despite setting both connecttimeout and timeout

Question

I have set the following:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 0);

before calling curl_exec($ch)

However, every now and then, I get an error: GOT AN ERROR<br/>Operation timed out after 10002 milliseconds with 0 bytes received<br/>-------<br/>

Seems curl is not respecting the timeout settings. I tried setting the _MS versions also, but to no avail. Please help!

@Niels: Interesting... any ideas how can I check? The results are unpredictable as of now. — workwise

@workwise have you got and htaccess file? update the timeout there. — Tauseef

@Tauseef Yes, actually I have access to both the calling server and the server I connect to. Can you tell me where exactly I need to put the timeout in which htaccess - I haven't done it before. — workwise

Also, I feel 1000 ms is bit too low for apache settings (I hear default is 300) — workwise

.htAccess are able to override a subset of the server's global configuration for the directory that they are in, and all sub-directories.

find the property max_execution_time in the .htaccess of your website. this time is in seconds as I remember.

EDIT: Also check the PHP.ini file

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_value post_max_size 5M
php_value upload_max_filesize 5M
php_value memory_limit 300M
php_value max_execution_time 259200
php_value max_input_time 259200
php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 1200
</IfModule>

Increase max execution time for php
