If the bug was fixed by someone else somewhere along the way, there's no need to try and fix it again. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-26 16:44:28] joyoflinux@yahoo.com When using the file function on an http document that is down (for example today 1/26 dailynews.yahoo.com was down) I had a page to go and get the news from dailynews.yahoo.com. When dailynews.yahoo.com was down, the page never loaded, it hung. I know I can use socket_set_timeout or something like that, but this doesn't effect the file() function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15235&edit=1
