I am wondering if there is a clean way to time out a function? E.g. I have an instance of fopen($file, "r") that sometimes takes over 30 sec. I'd like to programmaticaly time it out after, say 10. How would I do that? Denis Voitenko Qode.com Internet Developer Tel: (954) 484-3191 x 153 Fax: (954) 484-2933
