note 94865 added to function.stream-set-timeout

I didn't have much luck with the suggestions below (although I likely applied them wrong). Instead, I used stream_context_create() and set an http option for timeout. I fed that context into file_get_contents() and voila! To my desperate friend below: the https transport can also use the http stream context options. I haven't verified this works as I don't have a slow responding ssl to test on. But if you are still stressing, give the below a shot (you may need to modify a bit...) $timeout = 5*60; $options = array( 'http'=>array( 'method'=>"GET", 'header'=>"Accept-language: en\r\n", 'timeout' => $timeout ) ); $context = stream_context_create($options); $contents = file_get_contents($source, false, $context); Yes...that is a 5 minute timeout. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 24.23.238.12 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-set-timeout.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/94865 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94865/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94865/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94865/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94865/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94865/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94865/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94865 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/94865 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
