note 71274 added to function.stream-set-timeout

I have found that in order to actually stop the socket from timing out the script, you must call stream_get_meta_data and check for a timeout within the loop reading from the socket. Example: <?php $sock = fsockopen($host, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30); if(!$sock){ echo "Unable to get server status"; }else{ $out = "GET /server.php HTTP/1.1\r\n"; $out .= "Host: $host\r\n"; $out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n"; fwrite($sock, $out); stream_set_blocking($fp, FALSE ); stream_set_timeout($sock, $timeout); $info = stream_get_meta_data($sock); while (!feof($sock) && !$info['timed_out']) { $file .= fgets($sock, 4096); $info = stream_get_meta_data($sock); } fclose($sock); ?> ---- Server IP: 66.163.161.117 Probable Submitter: 71.217.213.203 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-set-timeout.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/71274 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71274/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71274/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71274/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71274/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71274/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71274/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71274 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/71274 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
