php - when connection times out using curl or get_file_contents to an API it kills my script -

when connection timesout when using curl or get_file_contents because of network error or remote server doesn't respond reason kills script.

i making these remote calls in loop , if 1 fails kills script.

what best way handle if specific post fails, goes on next in loop instead of script dying?

first set parameter curl timeout limit:

 curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_timeout, 1800); 

the result of curl_exec() call show if request successful or not:

for(/* */) {     $ch = curl_init();      //...     $result = curl_exec($ch);     if (!$result) {         continue; // use jump next loop     }      // code not executed if request failed  }
