PHP fopen() for a url times out...
The part of script which is grabbing a page from yahoo financials for my stock analyzer goes a little something like this:
$open = fopen("http://screen.yahoo.com/b?gr=155%2F&peg=/1&b=1&z=gr&db=stocks&vw=1", "rb");
$haystack = fread($open, 20000);
fclose($open);
$pos = 0;Anyways, it only grabs part of the page and then stops. Is this a time out? Every once in a while it grabs more or less than usual, although it generally is pretty consistent. I can only get enough data to parse 2 stock symbols out of the page when I need at least 10. How do I fix this?

try "r" instead of "rb"
