Here is a working example for loops:
<?php
// Timeout in seconds
$timeout = 5;
$fp = fsockopen("www.server.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);
if ($fp) {
fwrite($fp, "GET /file.php HTTP/1.0\r\n");
fwrite($fp, "Host: www.server.com\r\n");
fwrite($fp, "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n");
stream_set_blocking($fp, TRUE);
stream_set_timeout($fp,$timeout);
$info = stream_get_meta_data($fp);
while ((!feof($fp)) && (!$info['timed_out'])) {
$data .= fgets($fp, 4096);
$info = stream_get_meta_data($fp);
ob_flush;
flush();
}
if ($info['timed_out']) {
echo "Connection Timed Out!";
} else {
echo $data;
}
}
?>
stream_set_timeout
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)
stream_set_timeout — Establecer el periodo de espera de una secuencia
Descripción
Establece el valor de tiempo de espera sobre la secuencia , expresada como la suma de segundos y microsegundos . Devuelve TRUE si todo se llevó a cabo correctamente, FALSE en caso de fallo.
Cuando la secuencia alcanza su tiempo de espera, la clave 'timed_out' de la matriz devuelta por stream_get_meta_data() se establece a TRUE, aunque ningún error ni advertencia es generada.
Example #1 Ejemplo de stream_set_timeout()
<?php
$da = fsockopen("www.example.com", 80);
if (!$da) {
echo "No fue posible abrir\n";
} else {
fwrite($da, "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n");
stream_set_timeout($da, 2);
$res = fread($da, 2000);
$info = stream_get_meta_data($da);
fclose($da);
if ($info['timed_out']) {
echo 'La conexion ha expirado!';
} else {
echo $res;
}
}
?>
Note: A partir de PHP 4.3, esta función puede (potencialmente) trabajar sobre cualquier clase de secuencia. En PHP 4.3, las secuencias basadas en sockets son aun el único tipo soportado por el núcleo de PHP, aunque las secuencias de otras extensiones pueden soportar esta función.
Note: Esta función no trabaja con operaciones avanzadas como stream_socket_recvfrom(), use stream_select() con el parámetro de tiempo de espera en su lugar.
Esta función era llamada anteriormente set_socket_timeout() y más adelante socket_set_timeout(), pero su uso bajo estos nombres se considera obsoleto.
Vea también fsockopen() y fopen().

I have found that in order to actually stop the socket from timing out the script, you must call stream_get_meta_data and check for a timeout within the loop reading from the socket.
Example:
<?php
$sock = fsockopen($host, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if(!$sock){
echo "Unable to get server status";
}else{
$out = "GET /server.php HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$out .= "Host: $host\r\n";
$out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
fwrite($sock, $out);
stream_set_blocking($fp, FALSE );
stream_set_timeout($sock, $timeout);
$info = stream_get_meta_data($sock);
while (!feof($sock) && !$info['timed_out']) {
$file .= fgets($sock, 4096);
$info = stream_get_meta_data($sock);
}
fclose($sock);
?>

If you are using fsockopen() to create a connection, first going to write into the stream and then waiting for the reply (e.g. simulating HTTP request with some extra headers), then stream_set_timeout() must be set only after the write - if it is before write, it has no effect on the read timeout :-(
Noticed at least on PHP/4.3.10

stream_set_timeout() is not suitable for such files as UNIX-devices (/dev/...), i suggest to use select() instead with desirable timeout value - that works well.

I have been trying to understand how to use stream_set_timeout when calling a remote http page and put together the following code snippets. The first one is a simple test file "test.php" that is called as an html webpage.
The key I found is the "stream_set_blocking($fp, TRUE )". If "FALSE", then $status['timed_out'] seems to not have any practical effect. "TRUE" [PHP default] works.
Note, I have two timeouts, stream and monitor. I need both in my application.
<?php
echo $html_stuff\n; //the html header, etc.
ob_flush(); //makes it echo immediately
$delay= 20; //tweak this, seconds
$report = "<div>Test started at: " . date("H:i:s")</div>\n";
$report .= "<div>Started delay= $delay)</div>\n";
echo($report);
ob_flush();
$i=1;
$start_time= time();
while($i <= 10){
$diff= time()-$start_time;
$msg = $i . " at " . $diff;
echo "$msg<br>\n";
sleep($delay);
$i= $i+1;
} // end while
$report = "Finished\n";
$report .= " </body>\n</html>";
echo($report);
?>
The second code block calls test.php with the usual "fopen()"
<?php
$fp= fopen("http://URL/.../test.php", 'rb');
$query_timeout= 4; //tweek this
$monitor_time_sec= 120; //master timeout
stream_set_blocking($fp, FALSE ); //THIS IS IMPORTANT
stream_set_timeout($fp, $query_timeout);
$status = socket_get_status($fp);
// fetch data from test.php
while (!feof($fp) && !$status['timed_out']) {
$chunk = fread($fp, 10000);
$length = strlen($chunk);
$html_str .= $chunk;
$diff = time() - $start_time;
$tm = $status['timed_out'];
echo "<div>At $diff seconds >> $length bytes read, Status[timed out]: ($tm)</div>";
ob_flush();
if ($diff > $monitor_time_sec) {
$pq_array['monitor_timed_out'] = true;
break;
} //end if
sleep(2);
$status = socket_get_status($fp);
} //end while, fetching data
fclose($fp);
$pq_array['connection_timed_out'] = ($status['timed_out'])? true : false;
print_r($pq_array);
echo $html_str; //or whatever.
?>

I have found it required to add
"stream_set_blocking($fp, FALSE )"
prior to any fgets(), fread(), etc. to prevent the code from hanging up when remote files are called and the response is slow.
