note 65631 added to function.fsockopen

When your connection times out the server may issue Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in ... To get around this try this method used with error handling and copied method for ping operation. <?php function Ping(){ // false proxy used to generate connection error $ProxyServer = "116.155.95.163"; $ProxyPort = 8080; $timeout=10; echo "Opening ProxyServer $ProxyServer<br>"; // must use next two statements Set_Time_Limit(0); //Time for script to run .. not sure how it works with 0 but you need it Ignore_User_Abort(True); //this will force the script running at the end $handle = fsockopen($ProxyServer, $ProxyPort,$errno,$errstr,$timeout); if (!$handle){ echo "Failed to open ProxyServer $ProxyServer errno=$errno,errstr=$errstr<br>"; return 0; } else { // copied method for PING like time operation $status = socket_get_status($handle); echo "Opened ProxyServer $ProxyServer<br>"; //Time the responce list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ", microtime(true)); $start=(float)$usec + (float)$sec; $timeout=120; stream_set_timeout($handle,$timeout); //send somthing ini_set('display_errors','0'); $write=fwrite($handle,"echo this\n"); if(!$write){ return 0; } echo "Try To Read<br>"; stream_set_blocking($handle,0); //Try to read. the server will most likely respond with a "ICMP Destination Unreachable" and end the read.
