Try using the CURL library instead of file_get_contents for accessing
external files - it's a lot more customisable, and you might be able to
get some info back about why it's locking up!

I wrote some code a while ago that goes though the BBC programme catalogue

iPlayer picture code to use for each, matching them up against the programme
schedules from
http://www0.rdthdo.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/api/query.pl?method=bbc.schedule.getProgrammes&channel_id=$strChannel&start=$strDTS&end=$strDTE&limit=100&detail=schedule
For some reason I can access http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/a-z from a
browser, but doing a file_get_contents("http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/a-z";)
from PHP just locks up.
Is this intentional?
I'm just having another go at making a 'what's on now' iGoogle theme for BBC
channels...
