" That is obvious. But, what does the function do when the timeout limit is reached? [e.g., does it post an error message?] What do you test for? How do you use it? The example is not informative. If the source hangs on the fread(), the script will just hang and not get to the stream_get_meta_data(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31897&edit=1
