1. I don't see that you assign anything to $time and also you are not 
incrementing it.
2. To do while loop like this is very dangerous. (Might cause you to open a 
lot of file pointer to the same file)
3. Maybe you can use a socket instead.

Subject: PHP script needs to timeout upon FOPEN to URL


I have the following line:

while (!($file = @fopen("http://www.myurl.com", "r")) && time() <
$startTime + $time);
if (!$file){
  echo "Timed out, try again later";
} else {
  // do stuff
}

Problem is, when it attempts to connect to the remote server, it's supposed
to time out after 2-5 seconds, but it doesn't, it just locks up :(  Any
suggestions?

Phil
