I'm using file() to get the contents of a remote page in my script but I cannot find any information regarding how I could *gracefully* handle a broken network connection or even a time-out (slow connection). Is there a way? --- Example: $menu = file('http://www.remotesite.org/mypage.html'); foreach ($menu as $line_num => $line) { echo $line."\n"; }
