The name socketsettimeout is misleading, but if you read the manual, you will find that it is not part of the Sockets extension. You need to use the socketsetoption method to set the timeout:

# set the send timeout
socketsetoption($socket, SOLSOCKET, SOSNDTIMEO, ['sec' => 2, 'usec' => 0]);

set the receive timeout

socketsetoption($socket, SOLSOCKET, SORCVTIMEO, ['sec' => 2, 'usec' => 0]);
