php - Cut off file_get_contents if it takes too long -

i use freegeoip service track visiting website own database. takes while retrieve data. there anyway can cut off retrieval of data if taking long?

here code:

$geoip = @file_get_contents("http://freegeoip.net/csv/{$_server['remote_addr']}");

`

you can create context sent timeout (reference: file_get_contents)

excerpt:

$opts = array('http' =>   array(     'method'  => 'post',     'header'  => "content-type: text/xml\r\n".       "authorization: basic ".base64_encode("$https_user:$https_password")."\r\n",     'content' => $body,     'timeout' => 60   ) );  $context  = stream_context_create($opts); $url = 'https://'.$https_server; $result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context, -1, 40000); 

in case should translate (untested):

$opts = array('http' =>   array(     'method'  => 'get',     'header'  => "content-type: text/csv",     'content' => '',     'timeout' => 10   ) );  $context  = stream_context_create($opts); $url = "http://freegeoip.net/csv/{$_server['remote_addr']}"; $geoip = file_get_contents($url, false, $context, -1, 40000);
