Description:
------------
When you use file() to get a file over a network (internet) like
file("http://www.php.net");
you will get an timeout error if there is no connection to the internet or the requested URL. There I suggest to add an additional (optional) attribute
"int timeout"
to this function, making php cancel the function call after x seconds.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has already been fixed
in the latest released version of PHP, which you can download at 
http://www.php.net/downloads.php

There already is a timeout http context option in 5.2.1
