note 74551 added to function.file-get-contents

The only way I could get get_file_contents() to wait for a very slow http request was to set the socket timeout as follows. ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 120); $a = file_get_contents("http://abcxyz.com"); Other times like execution time and input time had no effect. ---- Server IP: 203.220.0.234 Probable Submitter: 218.214.3.75 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74551 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74551/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74551/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74551/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74551/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74551/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74551/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74551 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74551 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
