Bug #16881 Updated: fopen sometimes hangs

ID: 16881 Updated by: mfischer@php.net Reported By: jandevries146@noknok.nl -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: windows ME with apache PHP Version: 4.2.0 New Comment: fopen() is simply not suited for this task as it cannot be configured. Use fsockopen() and socket_set_timeout() or use the socket_*() interface directly. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-27 16:11:05] jandevries146@noknok.nl I want to automaticly save some webpages. To do this i use a loop which requests the data. About 9 out of 10 times it goes without problems, but sometimes the script hangs at the line with fopen($link,"rb"); saying : Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in ........ for ($i=0;$i<25;$i++) { $link = someURL; $fp=fopen($link,"rb"); } I also tried without any results: -sleep(1); -fclose($fp); -fopen($link,"r"); // this is "r" instead of "rb" -installing everything again on a new windows If i then run the same program again i dont get any problems. I know for sure the URL i open are available, but even when they are not available it should give a warning and not hang. If you want to reproduce the error just open 300 links with fopen under windows. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16881&edit=1
