Are you still having problems?
Things to try:
1. Try and open the url directly in a browser.
eg http://p.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?c=Music%20business%20news&o=xml
Does it return data (you may need to change the &o=xml to &o=html though).
Some countries (like the one I'm in China, have moreover access banned via
some providers)
2. socket blocking - you may need to enable or disable this dependant on
your server settings:
set_socket_blocking ($connection,false);
function LoadFile ($filename,$block=false){
$fd = fopen( $filename, "r" );
if ($block) set_socket_blocking ($fd,true);
$contents = fread( $fd, filesize( $filename ) );
fclose( $fd );
return ($contents);
}
Without socket blocking
LoadFile
("http://p.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?c=Music%20business%20news&o=xml");
With socket blocking
LoadFile
("http://p.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?c=Music%20business%20news&o=xml",true
);
3. I use something like this for reads on difficult servers (some china mail
servers are a p.i.a to get at sometimes).
Function GetLine() {
$timeout=30;
$iStartTime = time();
set_socket_blocking($this->connection, false);
$line = fread($this->connection,128);
while(empty($line)){
$line = fread($this->connection,128);
usleep(250000);
}
if ($debug) {
print ($line) ."<br>";
System("echo ''");
flush;
}
return ($line);
}
Let me know how you do.
Lawrence.
