[PHP] How do I force my script to exit after 5 seconds?

I have a script that connects to a networked device via PHP's socket functions. This device accepts proprietary commands (e.g.: KPRINT, as seen below), and returns data. However, this device does not have any sort of EXIT command to end the processing of events. So it essentially loops

I think something like this will work for you.. $start_time = time(); ...loop.. if( time() - $start_time 5 ) exit; -B Aaron Gould wrote: I have a script that connects to a networked device via PHP's socket functions. This device accepts proprietary commands (e.g.: KPRINT, as seen below),

I tried this earlier, but it does not seem to work... It appears to just hang when no data is returned from the networked device. It seems as if the loop stops, and is waiting for something. Brad Bonkoski wrote: I think something like this will work for you.. $start_time = time();

Thanks very much, I've added stream_set_timeout functionality, and it seems to work very well! For reference, here's the modified script: $fp = fsockopen('192.168.3.25', 10001, $errno, $errstr, 5); if (!$fp) { echo 'Error...'; }
