<?php
$fp 
fsockopen("www.example.com"80);
if (!
$fp) {
    echo 
"Unable to open\n";
} else {

    
fwrite($fp"GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n");
    
stream_set_timeout($fp2);
    
$res fread($fp2000);

    
$info stream_get_meta_data($fp);
    
fclose($fp);

    if (
$info['timed_out']) {
        echo 
'Connection timed out!';
    } else {
        echo 
$res;
    }

}
?>

Notes

Note:

This function doesn't work with advanced operations like stream_socket_recvfrom(), use stream_select() with timeout parameter instead.

This function was previously called as set_socket_timeout() and later socket_set_timeout() but this usage is deprecated.
