Re: XML_RSS time out question

It does not look OK. Perhaps you missed something when using the example from fsockopen() as a beggining point --- Luc Saint-Elie <luc@saint-elie.com> wrote: > Thanks Jesus, > > Please would the following be correct ? > > $so = fsockopen ("www.mypartnersite.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 10); > if ($so){ If you got a resource in $so, then you can start reading from it > $fo = @fopen > ("http://www.mypartnersite.com/backend.php", > "r"); This is redundant, why would you use both. Either use the fopen() w/ the URL (taking advantage of the http wrapper) or use fsockopen() not both The rest of the code will not work, as $fo is a resource, and does not contain the data in the URL above. You will need to loop to accumulate the data: while ($r = fread($fo, 1024)) $rss_data .= $r; and then pass $rss_data in the class constructor, etc. You can us fgets() too if you are more used to using that from C. Just pick the appropriate size of the chunks you want to read. > if($fo){ > require_once "XML/RSS.php"; > $rss =& new XML_RSS($fo); > $rss->parse(); > $items = $rss->getItems(); > $smarty->assign('items', $items); > } > } > } > Although if you are not using the error msgs, and not worrying about blocking/non-blocking, you can simplify the code to use: $fo = implode("",file($url)); by making use of the HTTP wrappers, but that does not allow you a lot of control in the timeout, etc.. The fsockopen() is more flexible in any case. Just don't forget to close the socket at the end (fclose()) > > Luc > > > At 18:07 05/05/2002 -0700, Jesus M.
