2 questions

[skynet]

hi,

i's got 2 questions:

#1: why this not work:

$fp=fsockopen("www.something.com",80,&$errno,&$errtext,4);

4 is the timeout given in seconds so that if the php script can't connect to www.something.com it raise an error that i could check (like this: if(!fp) { echo "*!!!! error!!!";} else { echo "connected!!! yeahh!!";})

but: if i unplug the network cable from the network card it don't stop after 4 seconds, it continue to search and after 30 secs it say "Fatal Error blah blah, can't connect" and therefore it don't reach the code that's responsible for error handling ('cause it's a Fatal Error)

so what's the prob? is my php misconfigured or what?

#2: anybody have a working dom xml extension under windows and pws? if yes, what version number of php you using?

thx,

skynet

I think that failing an Internet search/connection is a very different animal from having no Internet to search or connect to.

Instead of disconnecting your network cable, try instead to feed your fsockopen statement some bogus data -- a known-bad address or port number -- then see if you get the results you were expecting.
