I tried this to break a file function after a given time but it does not independently of the increment in time I give… How could I make it stop (or break) after 0.0005 sec ?

thanks for your help !

[code=php]<?
$n = time();
while (time() < $n+0.0005)
{
$line2s = file (“http://www.mysite.com”.$_GET[‘query2’]);
}
print_r ($line2s);
?>[/code]

@aj_nscApr 21.2007 — I don't know how to break out of a loop after a given amount of time, but I can tell you why your code isn't working ?

Your while loop tests the condition and if it returns true, then it executes the statements within it....until they are finished or it encounters a break or continue or something along those lines. At which point it will test the condition again, and do either execute the statement(s) if true, or not (if false).

You cannot stop a loop this way... the above while statement will return true the first time, execute the contained statement until it is complete, and then test the condition again....

sorry for being repetitive, but it doesn't work this way. get me?
