Topic: Increasing timeout of extern.php feeds

I'm pulling discussions from extern.php and including them on the front page of my site, but sometimes they don't show. it pauses, then only shows the guests and members online, with no discussions.

any way to increase that timeout to just a little longer?

Re: Increasing timeout of extern.php feeds

anybody?

theres no way that extern.php should take longer than 30sec to generate what it does.

but if you really want
@set_time_limit(0);

no it gets to the point where it tries to load the info from extern.php and only waits about 2 seconds before giving up and loading the rest of the page, bypassing the discussions altogether. i want it to wait maybe 5 seconds so it will fully load the discussions.

it waits longer than 2 seconds

if it waited longer than 2 seconds, wouldn't the page take longer than 2 seconds to load? as I said, the full page loads in about 2 seconds without the discussions sometimes.

so, let me rephrase the question: how can I get extern.php to not skip over the discussions?
