PHP SoapClient Timeout

Question

Is there anyway for a SoapClient Request to time out and throw an exception. As of now, I get PHP Server response timeout, in my case 60 seconds. Basically what I want is, if there isn't any reply from the Web Service within certain time, an exception would be thrown and I could catch it. The 60 seconds warning is not what I want.

Is it possible to do this?

Have a look at http://www.darqbyte.com/2009/10/21/timing-out-php-soap-calls/ if you are comfortable and your environment allows you to extend classes.

It basically extends the SoapClient class so you can handle timeouts yourself.
