            $scope.item=data;

           });
    }])

On a side note: "The `$http` legacy promise methods `success` and `error` have been deprecated. Use the standard `then` method instead. If `$httpProvider.useLegacyPromiseExtensions` is set to `false` then these methods will throw `$http/legacy` error."

You should use then instead of success/error methods

Here is your updated code

.controller('items_ctrl',['$scope','$http',function($scope,$http){
    $scope.shop_id=localStorage.getItem("shop_id");
        $http.get('http://localhost/myapp/spree/stocks.php').then(function(data){
               console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
               $scope.item=data;

           }, function(error){
               alert("Error contacting server");
           });
        }])

the alert should pop up after for example 20 seconds – user6579134 Sep 19 '16 at 11:04 — user6579134, Sep 19 '16 at 11:04

You should specify error callback function.

$http.get('/someUrl', config).then(successCallback, errorCallback);

For more information please see https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http

Use promise for it .Set some timeout in your javascript.

var cancelReq= $q.defer();
$http.get('/someUrl', {timeout: cancelReq.promise}).success(successCallback);
$timeout(showErrorPopup, 3000);

after timeout , resolve it and then show popup

function showErrorPopup(){
   cancelReq.resolve(); 
//popup code
}
