Read remote file

[abdul_zu]

Hi All,

 

I have a text file more than 200K.

When i am using the following code it is not working.

 

$fname = "http://localhost/dreportfiles/test.txt";
$file = fopen ($fname, "r");
if (!$file) {
    echo "<p>Unable to open remote file.\n";
    exit;
}
while (!feof ($file)) {
    $line = fgets ($file, 1024);
    /* This only works if the title and its tags are on one line */
echo $line. "<br>";
   
}
fclose($file);

 

Here is the error i am getting :

Warning: fopen(http://localhost/dreportfiles/test.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. in D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\root\dreport\test.php on line 5

 

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\root\dreport\test.php on line 5

 

Please suggest me some fast way to read the file from remote.

look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php

But if the server where the file is does not respond you cannot read it
