IMDB Fetch hangs within PowerMovieList for exact matches

Anyone use PowerMovielist here? I have the 0.14 beta version.
Do you have a problem where some shows you search for cause the fetch to hang ? I'm pulling my hair out
on this..
For example, I search for Funky, and it comes up with all the hits.. I search for Funky Phantom, and it
hangs for whatever amount of seconds i have the script maximum execution time set to, then i get this
error Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in fetch.php on line 167
When i try it on my shared webhost, instead it gives me a Page cannot be displayed and i then have to
wait almost a minute before i can access the site again.
If you use PowerMovieList, test with Funky Phantom and if it works.. please share your fetch script with
me!!
If I search for Funky%Phantom it works too. But other shows that are multiple words, i can put spaces in
fine
so.. i think where its hanging is on the redirect when its an exact match.. IMDB does a 302 redirect.
This is the code for exact matches:
//when you use the search-form on imdb.com and you search for a title that was
exactly found
//imdb uses a 302-found-page to redirect to the Title-page of this movie.
//if this happens, we can use this imdb-id too
if(strstr($site, "HTTP/1.0 302") || strstr($site, "HTTP/1.1 302")) { //exact match?
$out .= $GLOBALS['strExactMatch'];
ereg('\/title\/tt([0-9]+)\/', $site, $x);
$this->FetchID = $x[1]; //save the id in $FetchID
return(PML_FETCH_EXACTMATCH); //return to editentry that it can fetch now the data - search is
allready done


but i can't figure out why it hangs. I have PHP5. I've tried it on a shared webhost, a dedicated server
(which uses lighttpd and php5), and i have it installed locally using xampp.. They all do the same
thing... hang on exact matches. Is there some PHP.ini setting that I need? I have magic quotes already
set to OFF.
