I don't think this is possible with file_get_contents, but it should
work if you use cURL and set the CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT option.

That won't help. When you reach the sleep with your request, the
connection is already established.
What you want is curl with
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT max execution time

There is some information about configuring php to use a proxy when
connecting to external urls.
According to some sources the proper setup option is by using
the stream-context-set-default function (
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-context-set-default.php)
Still I have not been able to find any reference about if it can be set on
php.ini (so all the instances of php use it)
Also there is this bug that has been assigned since 2010 and still have not
changed (29280)
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=29280
Any information about this will be well received.
Thanks,
Joan

Hi,
AFAIK there's no such setting in php.ini. If you want to have it set
allways, you could use the php.ini setting auto_prepend_file to run a
simple php script (containing stream_context_set_default) before each
php file is parsed.

Hello all.
If I have a form on domain A that uses POST to submit data and I want
to submit the form to domain B on an entirely different server, how do
I pull the form values (... echo $_POST["myval"] returns nothing....)
from the form at domain B?

First (basic, obvious) question: do you have full access to both
domains, or is Domain B a third-party site?

I only have access to domain B... the one receiving the Form POST.

Then all you should need to do is:
a.) Verify that Domain A is indeed pointing to Domain B, to
the script you expect, as a POST request.
b.) In the POST-receiving script on Domain B, try this simple snippet:
<?php
echo '<pre>'.PHP_EOL;
var_dump($_POST);
die('</pre>');
?>
That should give you all data from the post request.

Thanks Dan.
As it turned out the reason for not showing the passed values is that
I didn't have "www" in the destination address and the values must
have been getting lost when Apache redirected requests without www to
the fully formed URL.

Bear with me here. I have a problem with PHP and MySQL that's been stumping
me for a couple of days now. I'm not even sure how to describe it, so I'll
just do my best.
There's a row in our bugs database that looks like every other row in the
table, but when it's pulled from the database and displayed in PHP, the
"description" field -- which is defined as a "mediumtext" field -- is
displayed as a date field with a value of 12/31/1969. Moreoever, when I use
PHPMyAdmin to look at the row directly, the "description" field has the
data that I expect it to.
Just for fun, here's the text in question:
============================
Quarterly Course Set Up - Spring 2012 (114)
Section Course title Course Start Date
114MHI214 The Internet and the Future of Patient Care 04/02/2012
114MHI212 Health Information Systems Analysis and Design 04/02/2012
Program administrator 2 users; Laurel Aroner - Susan Catron - Jennifer
Kremer
Instructors;
MHI214; Peter Yellowlees
MHI212; Robert Balch
Per instructions from Rita Smith-Simms - I'm creating this task for myself
and based on instructions given which are that all listed courses are now
to be backed-up and restored sooner (original course set up time-frame was
a month before course starts).
Adding instructions - Follow the 52-step quarterly course set up process
and information from the course matrix; if matrix incomplete, input
information during this set up
As you track your time each day, please include in the notes which courses
(use project code) you worked on and indicate either working on or
completed.
Create and notify by 2/15/2012
============================
I've made sure there are no odd characters that would mess up how PHP is
displaying the text. I've tried changing the field type from "mediumtext"
to "text" but this didn't work.
If anyone has any ideas as to why this might be happening -- or if I just
wasn't clear -- please let me know.

If phpmyadmin gives expected results and _your_ code doesn't, I'd be
suspicious of your code :-)
It might be helpful for you to post relevant part(s) ofthe actual code you
are using.
