I can't use a bad URL because the fopen fails.
I assumed from reading the manual that if I started stream_set_timeout() it would monitor the stream and do something when it reached the timeout, either truncate my data stream or show up as [timed_out] => true. It doesn't appear to do anything.
I can set the timeout down to microseconds and/or read a 4mb remote file and nothing appears to happen. The 4mb file is read fully and [timed_out] => never changes for small or large files, microseconds or 600 seconds.
I did a function_exists() on stream_set_timeout() and it's fine and I have all errors on and nothing unusual shows up.
php version is 4.3.10

Hi Richard, thanks for the help.
Note I have the timeout set for 1 microsec, have tried several values, eg, 100ms, 1 sec, etc. I even used a 4mb file and it did nothing.
It seems as if stream_set_timeout() does nothing.
Note in socket_get_status(), [timed_out] => is always false.
v timed_out ^ / \ / \ Lost data because your time-out expired
Possibly you have such a good connection, it never times out.
Try connection to something that's not there -- Like: $URL_full = 'http://example.com';
