My PHP files are very slow

[Patje]

Hello,

 

I have two webhosts on the same server (www.knoth.nl). I've got a weird problem though. When I try to create a PHP file which establishes a socket connection between the server and another server, it's very slow on one of then. It takes approx 15 seconds to connect to the site, and return the data. The other webhost works FINE, and returns the data within 2 seconds. The slow one is using PHP version 5.2.1, and the fast one is using PHP version 4.4.7 (My hosting company installed them, when I bought them).

 

As an example, I made a PHP file which establishes a socket connection with a site which shows the weather forcast (It's Dutch though) and it also shows the time it took to load the page.

http://darkool.nl/weer.php

http://mightscript.com/weer.php

 

I have NO idea what the problem is. I don't think it's the server, since they're both on the same server.

 

For more PHP info of those sites:

Thanks in advance,

Patrick.
