Check for infinite loop?

I suspect there might be an infinite loop in my code, however, php
seems to timeout and continue running the script. Is there a way to
check for this?

With vi:

/for
o
print "I'm in the first loop!<br />";
/
o
print "I'm in the second loop<br />";
(repeat until it wraps)
/while
o
print "I'm in the first while loop!<br />";
/
o
print "I'm in the scond while loop<br />";

etc.

Possibly with profiler or debugger <http://in.php.net/APD>

I traced the problem to several calls to http requests like:

$contents = file('http://www.mydomain.co m/some_variable') ;

Each one could took upto a second so I got rid of all but one . I
suppose there is a lot of overhead with making the http request through
php?
