note 45584 added to function.fsockopen

The OFFICIAL fix to feof() hanging, and getting all the data back for large HTTP requests (or small): $fd=@fsockopen($url,80,$errno,$errstr,10); // specify 10 sec connection timeout if($fd){ stream_set_timeout($fd,10); // set I/O timeout fwrite($fd,$yourhttprequest); $contents=""; while(!feof($fd) && !$stat["timed_out"]){ $contents.=fgets($fd,1024); $stat=socket_get_status($fd); } if($stat["timed_out"]){ die("I/O timed out. (10 seconds)"); } fclose($fd); echo $contents; }else{ echo "Connection failed."; } This code has been tested against the feof problem, and against large data coming back in a HTTP request. You get all the data, and it will wait up to 10 seconds between each successful read request, so it wont timeout if your request just takes a long time to download big files (unless it doesnt receive data for 10 consecutive seconds).
