Continue runng script when 'Failed to open stream' error is encountered

[jtmathome]

Is there a way continue running a php script when the 'failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!' error is encountered? I have numerous 'file_get_contents' requests in the same script.

That warning does not stop your script from running. However, you could suppress it either via the "@" operator or by changing the display_errors setting and/or error_reporting level, then checking if the result of the file_get_contents() to see if it's false, and do your own error-handling as desired.

I've incorporated an if TRUE/FALSE type instruction, but is there any way to include some type of 'Time Out' limit so that the rest of the script will run out if it takes too long to retrieve the data?

I thought I had an idea for setting a stream context, but it didn't seem to work. You might want to look into using fsockopen or the cURL functions (instead of file_get_contents) and setting timeout values within them.
