Re: php in free()

This is because the reading from socket is blocked_read by default. So there is fuinction socket_set_blocking() and also socket_set_timeout(). I had the same problem so as workaround set_time_limit(0) but the script works for 40 !! seconds. My aim was to get some header so I didn't read from the socket until feof($fp) but stopped somewhere before the end of data and close()-ing socket after that. After this intervention the time which the scripts uses is 4!!! seconds.
