Bug #16303 Updated: file() MUCH faster than fsockopen() + fgets() but we should be able to set th

ID: 16303 Updated by: jpaulomf@terra.com.br Reported By: jpaulomf@terra.com.br Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: AND: $file = file("http://myqddress.com/foo.htm"); $file = readfile("http://myaddress.com/foo.htm"); and what I told you before was that the other options we have to send our own defined headers(fsockopen) are too slow. What I'm asking is to have the ability to set the headers of file(), readfile() and fopen(). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-28 00:40:44] jpaulomf@terra.com.br We should able to set the headers sent by file() and fopen-wrappers when the requests are made to outside, like: $file = fopen("http://myaddress.com/blah.php?op=po"); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-27 09:23:39] wez@php.net I'm not quite sure what you are asking for here; could you be more specific? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-27 01:55:45] jpaulomf@terra.com.br When tring to open a file for remote edition like: $file = file("http://myaddress.com/users.php?op=xz&f=w"); Whe can't set the headers. And why one would like to? 1 - Readfile throws the content to std out. 2 - fsockopen takes too much time to do the same: $sck = fsockopen($host,$port,&$errno,&$errstr); fputs($sck,$request); while(!feof($sck)) { $result .= fgets($sck,128); } This will take about 300-400% more time compared with file() or readfile(). (WHY??? Ive tested the int lenght of fgets() with 2,32,64,128...4096 and it is still very slow: filesizes > 400kb ~ 90-120 sec (@ 256k) when file() does the same in ~ 20-30 sec). I've not tested cURL yet, but I think PHP should support this w/o 3 parties.. Thanks ppl! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16303&edit=1
