note 34898 added to function.stream-set-timeout

The example has confused me for a time since there is no explanation as to why the line "$start = time();" is even in the example. I have decided that it is not needed and so I hope others might not get confused here either. It seems to me that this would be much less confusing. <?php $fp = fsockopen("www.example.com", 80); if(!$fp) { echo "Unable to open\n"; } else { fputs($fp, "GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n"); stream_set_timeout($fp, 2); $res = fread($fp, 2000); var_dump(stream_get_meta_data($fp)); fclose($fp); print $res; } ?> Am I wrong? ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-set-timeout.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+34898 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+34898&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+34898&report=yes
