I dunno about similating a slow connection, but you can write a very slow server... :-) my_slow_rss_feed.php <?php $data = '<name>Darren Kirby</name>'; sleep(10); for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($data); $i++){ echo $data[$i]; flush(); sleep(1); } ?> Of course, that doesn't simulate the slow connection part of it... If you have 2 machines, you can unplug the network cable, start your script, then plug the cable in after 5 seconds. That's gonna make it pretty slow to connect, almost for sure. :-) If anybody is goofy enough to complain about the performance of strlen() in the for(...) statement, you're clearly not paying attention. :-) :-) :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
