I get this error message: get_headers failed to open stream: Connection timeout

Here is the code:

$file_headers = @get_headers('http://www.example.fr');
print_r(get_headers('http://www.example.fr'));

if ( strpos( $file_headers[0], "200" )) {
    echo 'done';
} else {
    echo 'error';
}

Set this for 120 sec timeout (default - 60):

ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 120);

The program was not able to open the stream within the time limit -- a system default value, often 60 seconds. Check to see that the file exists and is readable. Note that you call get_headers a second time (in the print statement), while the file_headers stream is still active.

  • You invoke **get_headers** once to set up **file_headers** I believe that this opens the stream. In the next statement, the **print_r**, you call **get_headers** again. I believe that the error message is telling you that it couldn't open the file a second time. – Prune Sep 20 '16 at 04:43
