>From the user comments: I think it might be useful to point out that set_time_limit() doesn't have any effect on stream operations. A stalled script, either during open operations (e.g. fsockopen()) or read operations (e.g. fgets()), can make your script run "forever".
So it would be advisable to define timeouts for opening sockets (with the timeout parameter in fsockopen()) and for reading data from sockets (with socket_set_timeout()). So, yes, you would have had to go to: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php Sorry about that but I didn't exactly have lots of time on my hands at the time to give you more details. -Dan On Sat, 2003-07-05 at 21:27, Giz wrote: > I've looked at that page extensively and seen nothing there that would > handle my issue, long before I ever mailed the problem to this list.
