Dear PHP Gurus:
I'm looking for a way to timeout an fopen function. I'm doing some link checking
inside of a for loop and some links "hang" rather than return a definitive "can't
connect" or "can connect." (Pardon the highly technical jargon there...)
In cases where my link hangs, I'd like to simply display a message (i.e., "hanging")
and advance to the next loop.
I have search the docs/forumns far and wide and can't find anything definitive. As
far as I can tell socket_set_timeout won't quite do what I want it to.
Any ideas? Here's the important part of my code:
for ()
{
echo "Checking: $link : \n"; flush();
$fp = @fopen($link, "r");
if (!$fp) { echo "<font class=linksred>The link is
dead!</font>"; }
else { fclose($fp); echo "<font class=linksgreen>The link is
working!</font>"; }
echo "<br><bR>";
echo "</font>";
}
Thanks in advance!
