cURL and page loading time question

[deviantPsyche]

I'm trying to figure out a way to get page loading time while the page is still loading. What I want to do is to stop script execution if the amount of loading time is for example > 10 seconds during page load.

 

I'm using curl to load my pages. So far, the only way I can see this happening is to use CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION to call another function within curl. But the problem with it, is that it still not able to pull out live time elapsed from it. If I use curl_getinfo within that function I'm only able to print out curl_getinfo['total_time'] after the whole page loads. Is there a way to get the page loading time before the whole page loads?

i think with php and ajax you can achieve this

set the run time for the script @ 10 seconds

yeah I actually found a much easier way to end the script execution time by simply setting CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT to timeout that I want, the problem is that I actually need to call a function on timeout so that I can do something else with the script. Is it possible to somehow catch when CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT is true so that I can return something else and then call another function?

figured it out basically:

 

$page = curl_load("http://www.google.com","");

if ($page==""){ //means CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT is true
echo "connection timed out!<br />";
}

else {
echo $page;
}

 

easy as that heh.
