Additions:
Another version of the code that does the same but now with some more error checking and multiple language support as suggested by DarTar.
// wikipedia action
// This action will insert the content of the supplied topic in your page.
// Usage examples: {{wikipedia topic="Workflow"}}
// {{wikipedia topic="Madrid" lang="es"}}
function fetchUrlWithoutHanging($url)
{
// Set maximum number of seconds (can have floating-point) to wait for feed before displaying page without feed
$numberOfSeconds=4;

// Suppress error reporting so Web site visitors are unaware if the feed fails
error_reporting(0);

// Extract resource path and domain from URL ready for fsockopen

$url = str_replace("http://","",$url);
$urlComponents = explode("/",$url);
$domain = $urlComponents[0];
$resourcePath = str_replace($domain,"",$url);

// Establish a connection
$socketConnection = fsockopen($domain, 80, $errno, $errstr, $numberOfSeconds);

if (!$socketConnection)
{
// You may wish to remove the following debugging line on a live Web site
print("WikiPedia Error: ");
} // end if
else {
$xml = '';
fputs($socketConnection, "GET /$resourcePath HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: $domain\r\n\r\n");

// Loop until end of file
while (!feof($socketConnection))

$xml .= fgets($socketConnection, 128);
} // end while

fclose ($socketConnection);

} // end else

return($xml);

} // end function
