what if it blocks ?

Hi guys,

I am performing a search two remote sites and I was wondering how could I specify in my script that, if one site is down, the script should continue rather than block ? Is there maybe a way to put a limit time for a particular search?

I know it sounds stupid but I would really take any guess you have !

thank you so much !

@bokehOct 22.2006 — This is always going to be a problem because PHP is a single thread language. If you have to open multiple sites open them all at the same time with fsockopen in non blocking mode. This will save a lot of time. After they are all open go back to the first and try to read from it in non blocking mode. If there is nothing proceed to the next. etc.
