PHP file_get_contents very slow when using full url

Question

I am working with a script (that I did not create originally) that generates a pdf file from an HTML page. The problem is that it is now taking a very long time, like 1-2 mi

Answer 1

I had the same issue,

The only thing that worked for me is setting timeout in $options array.

$options = array(
    'http' => array(
        'header'  => implode($headers, "\r\n"),
        'method'  => 'POST',
        'content' => '',
        'timeout' => .5
    ),
);
