I miss a "timeout" option for fputs/fgets, I've been using the timeout successfully for my scripts, but I've found it to be only useful for avoiding slow and nonexisting servers.. When the server allows me to connect via fsockopen, but fails to respond on my queries, it often hangs completely.. So is there are will there be some optiong to control how long the socket shall wait for a response from the server it is connected to?
