Example 1. stream_set_timeout() example <?php $fp = fsockopen("www.example.com", 80); if(!$fp) { echo "Unable to open\n"; } else { fputs($fp, "GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n"); stream_set_timeout($fp, 2); $res = fread($fp, 2000); var_dump(stream_get_meta_data($fp)); fclose($fp); print $res; } ?>

This function was previously called as set_socket_timeout() and later socket_set_timeout() but this usage is deprecated.
