#40430 [NEW]: timeout parameter for function file()

From: krid@php.net Operating system: All PHP version: 4.4.4 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: timeout parameter for function file() Description: ------------ When you use file() to get a file over a network (internet) like file("http://www.php.net"); you will get an timeout error if there is no connection to the internet or the requested URL. There I suggest to add an additional (optional) attribute "int timeout" to this function, making php cancel the function call after x seconds. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40430&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40430&r=mysqlcfg
