Connections to external sites, fallback to mirrors

I have a script that incorporates content from an external site
($rootdomain). During peak traffic periods the external site experiences
severe slowdowns, thereby slowing down the site here. The external site does
have some secondary mirrors, which I would like to revert to if the primary
does not respond, say within 2 or 3 seconds.

Here's the bit of the script that does the connection:

$fp = fopen( $rooturl, "r" );
$html = join( "", file( $rooturl ) );
fclose ( $fp );

Any ideas?

Hi, My hosting provider only allows me to use 50 connections to my MySQL database that my Web site will use. I don't know what this 50 connections means exactly. Does this mean that only 50 visitors to my Web site can access my database through my Web site at one time? Or does this mean that in my code I can only use 50 connections? and like

Hi, Every morning around 11am, we run out of database connections. We have one user, and a bunch of scripts that use that account to connect to the database. I believe we have a bad script out there that's routinely chewing up our available connections. I plan on turning on as much logging as possible tonight. Are there any other tools out there that can help me figure out exactly which script is generating the connections?

Hello. I am a web developer very worried about "bloat code" and "languages mixture". So, since some time, I always try to avoid completely the use of javascript in XHTML/HTML files. This leads to me to hate, also, any event (onload, onchange, ...) instanciated in the element tag itself, like: <input type="text" onkeyup="return doSomething();" /> I would replace this code above with an input element marked with an

Hello, I've searched the archives and docs for an answer to my question, but did not find anything, so I was hoping someone can answer this question or point me to a useful doc: Is there a way in PostGreSQL to temporarily disable any external connections (or just disable external writes) to a certain database, without having to restart the postmaster? Local connections to the database would still be allowed. Better yet, is there a way to...

Hi all, I'm coming from the Informix world and I have a customer using DB2 8.2.3 for Linux on Red Hat Enterprise ES. The customer is performing filesystem backups of the containers etc every night but they are not shutting down the database server while doing this. I only assume that this most likelly would leave an inconsistant backup image as there is nothing assuring that the modified pages in the buffer pool get written to disk...

Hello. I'm still somewhat new to the webbrowser control, but I have made some headway with it. Something that bothers me and interferes with my task is how many ad sites contact my browser when I click links on certain sites (online communities, etc). I wonder if there is a way to find out the exact names of these sites and reject connections from them. Maybe there is no way around it. Any advice? regards.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
