Re: Timeout Function

But this still doesn't let you apply a timeout to a specific block of code. I am doing ad calls to a remote server with PHP, and I want to be able to timeout just the readfile() function I'm using to do the call, and to execute an alternate block of code when it times out. I don't want to abort execution of the entire script; just that portion thereof. I am including a small file with some PHP code in a larger script; can I have a separate timeout for the included script, or does it apply to the main script? If I could have separate timeouts for included scripts, it could serve as a workaround for using timeouts on specific blocks of code. -- Jason Sims Senior Editor & System Administrator Inside Mac Games http://www.insidemacgames.com
