Perform given PHP task if no response from cURL request

How can I perform a cURL request and perform a given action if there is no response from the remote machine?

The script is running in the background, and I am not concerned about making the user wait.

<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,'http://example.com/bla.php');
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,true);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,array('x'=>'cba!','y'=>'abc'));
if($result = curl_exec($ch)) {
    //do this
}
else {
    //do this if no response after 5 seconds
}
curl_close($ch);
?>

Use CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT and CURLOPT_TIMEOUT

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT ,5); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5); //timeout in seconds
