note 114350 added to function.fread

My script was based on example 3b, but used up 100% CPU when a timeout occurred that wasn't "seen". This is very bad. So here's my code, hoping this will help people out there with the same problem. Obviously first use $rPage = fsockopen(...) and fwrite($rPage,...) and such, after which: $sPage = ''; // the page goes in here $iTimeout = 5; // set the timeout in seconds stream_set_timeout($rPage,$iTimeout); stream_set_blocking($rPage,0); $fTimeout = microtime(true); do { if (($sRead = fread($rPage,8192))!==false and strlen($sRead)) { $sPage .= $sRead; } else { usleep(10000); } // 0.01 second $aInfo = stream_get_meta_data($rPage); } while (!feof($rPage) and !$aInfo['timed_out'] and microtime(true)-$fTimeout<$iTimeout); fclose($rPage); // now simply decompress and unchunk $sPage, if need be Above code will make sure the timeout is used, because this isn't always detected properly. In addition, the usleep() will keep the CPU in check. ---- Server IP: 83.137.20.135 Probable Submitter: 85.150.54.188 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.fread.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/114350 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114350/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114350/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114350/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114350/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114350/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114350/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114350 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/114350 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
