Increasing include(URL) timeout?

[iantresman]

I'm trying to include pages from Wikipedia on my Website with the code snippet below, but I believe it timesout because I get the error message Warning: Failed opening 'http://www.wikipedia.org'

Can I get the PHP include function to "wait" for a longer time?

[FONT=courier new] //--------------------//Full function from "Wikipedia Reflection"
ob_start("callback"); // Callback function excluded from example
include 'http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/?title=' . $title;
ob_end_flush();[/FONT]

The PHP manual features a user-contributed function, fetchURL($url), for fetching the contents at a URL using fsockopen (which allows a user specified timeout), but this seems quite long-winded.

unless you can find a config option here:
[url]http://www..php.net/ini_set[/url]

using fsockopen is prob the only way.

btw- if you dont need the page evaluated as php code, you shouldnt use include.

use either fopen() or file_get_contents(), they work w/ urls too.
