[PHP] XMLRPC and file_get_contents
Hi all,
I'm writing an XML-REC client in PHP, based on the following example:
?php
$request = xmlrpc_encode_request(method, array(1, 2, 3));
$context = stream_context_create(array('http' = array(
'method' = POST,
'header' = Content-Type: text/xml,
'content' = $request
)));
$file = file_get_contents(http://www.example.com/xmlrpc;, false, $context);
$response = xmlrpc_decode($file);
if (xmlrpc_is_fault($response)) {
trigger_error(xmlrpc: $response[faultString] ($response[faultCode]));
} else {
print_r($response);
}
?
If the XMLRPC call takes longer than say 30 seconds, the file_get_contents
method doesn't returns null, and the script finishes. However, the XMLRPC server
is not finished with the computation and gets a broken pipe since the client has
already closed the connection.
Is there some timeout? Am I doing something wrong?
Kind regards,
Andreas

There could be several timeouts at work here. First you can set a
timeout in the context[1]. Second the PHP request time limit[2]. And
finally your web server (assuming this is running through a web server)
will have its own timeout - check the documentation for whatever server
you're using for details.

Hi Stut,
I already used the set_time_limit to set a script running timeout. Looks like
the problem was the timeout in the context.
Thanks very much for you help.
