RE: [PHP] Open 10 http connections in parallel

I've never done this before, but you probably could open these connections via a socket, and set them all non-blocking. Presumably you'd them have to write a loop that polled all connections to check if they'd closed, or time them out after some number of seconds. See http://php.he.net/manual/en/function.socket-set-blocking.php and http://php.he.net/manual/en/ref.network.php -steve At 1:28 PM +1000 8/9/02, Martin Towell <martin.towell@world.net> wrote:

I do it by fopen each url one by one and save the response to a separated file. But it slow! I wonder if i can open 10 connnect (or more) in parallel? Thanks in advance. NoWhErEMaN
