Darn, I left out an important function, the fread(). Code snip should be:
$fp= fopen("http://www.anything.com/foo.html, 'rb');
if(!fp) {do something different}stream_set_timeout($fp, 2);
$contents= fread($fp, 200000);
$status= stream_get_meta_data($fp);
if($status[timed_out] {do something};It appears to me there is a basic logic problem. The script must get past the fread() function before it gets to the stream_get_meta_data($fp). But, it hangs up on fread() and the script times out.

How can I detect that a remote server is hung up on transmitting a http page and gracefully handle it?
The connect is made OK, all I want to do is to make certain that I receive the data stream in a given amount of time. For example, if the remote server is incredibly slow or hangs in the middle of transmitting the data.
e.g.
$fp= fopen("http://www.anything.com/foo.html, 'rb'); if(!fp) {do something different}
stream_set_timeout($fp, 2);
$status= stream_get_meta_data($fp);
if($status[timed_out] {do something};
$status[timed_out] never shows anything but 0. I've tried it with a 4mb file and the timeout = 1sec.
error reporting shows nothing. It's as if socket connections don't trigger timeout errors, including the max_execution_time.
I've spent some time poking around the php manual and Googling and can't find anything appropriate. One ref I found said there is no way to do this.
Anyone have a suggestion?
