Re: XML_RSS time out question

Thanks Jesus, Please would the following be correct ? $so = fsockopen ("www.mypartnersite.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 10); if ($so){

    $fo = @fopen ("http://www.mypartnersite.com/backend.php", "r");
     if($fo){
      require_once "XML/RSS.php";
      $rss =& new XML_RSS($fo);
      $rss->parse();
      $items = $rss->getItems();
      $smarty->assign('items', $items);
      }

} } Luc At 18:07 05/05/2002 -0700, Jesus M. Castagnetto wrote:

To avoid this problem, you could open a socket connection and then get the data from the remote server. Then pass the data to XML_RSS. I am not sure if it is a good idea to include timeout/socket connections in that class, which is intended for parsing RSS.

If http://www.mypartnersite.com is out, my own site is stuck Is there away to set some kind of time out ? Thanks in advance Luc
