Can anyone suggest an approach to getting a file from a URL, with a
timeout in the mS range, given that I am using php 5.1, and the cURL
mS timeout option did not becomeavailable until 5.2?
I have looked at using file_get contents, but whatever I try I don't
seem to be able to get the timeout below 1s. Quite a number of the
URLs I'm likely to try will be unavailable, but those that return
should do so very quickly indeed - so for the script to run as fast as
possibly I ideally need to find a way around this...
Cheers,
Ben

1. Update your version of PHP.
2. Never expect ms response times consistently from a site. Too many
things can affect the response time.

Unfortunately I can't easily update the PHP version - though that may
end up being the solution. However, in this case mS response times are
reasonable, since this is a local network with well defined traffic
volumes.
