force_fsockopen()

class SimplePie {
	force_fsockopen ( [bool $enable = false] )
}

If cURL is available, SimplePie will use it instead of the built-in fsockopen functions for fetching remote feeds. This config option will force SimplePie to use fsockopen even if cURL is installed.

• Available since SimplePie Beta 3.

Enable/disable forced fsockopen usage.

$feed = new SimplePie();
$feed->set_feed_url('http://simplepie.org/blog/feed/');
$feed->force_fsockopen(true);
$feed->init();
$feed->handle_content_type();
echo $feed->get_title();
