Re: Server Stall

If you have cURL installed, you could use Curl to get the file, and manipulate the contents that way. Here is the standard function I use for grabbing a remote page. function doRequest($method, $url, $vars = '', $headers = '0') { $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, $headers); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookie.txt'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'cookie.txt'); if ($method == 'POST') { curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $vars); } $data = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); if ($data) { return $data; } else { return curl_error($ch); } } called with doRequest('GET', '<url>'); $vars would be either a string or an array of post variables, and headers either shows or hides headers from the webserver. CURLOPT_TIMEOUT is set to 30, but you can change that to how many seconds you'd like to wait. ----- Original Message ---- From: Sancar Saran <sancar.saran@evodot.com> To: php-general@lists.php.net Sent: Monday, February 5, 2007 11:42:56 AM Subject: [PHP] Server Stall Hi, One of my scripts are using wget to get external xml data $fp = popen ("wget -O - '".$dst."' | cat","r"); Some time $dst host responds very slowly. And that time if I open another connection to same server the second request waits to complete wget operation. I'm very noobie about this file operations. Is there any suggestion about this situation ? Regards. Sancar -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
