note 72650 added to function.fopen

Here's how to do non-blocking (asynchronous) http requests in PHP. The script beneath is handy when you need to trigger a remote script which starts up a long process, and you don't care about its output <?php $url = parse_url('http://www.example.com/slow_script.php'); $url['port'] = $url['port'] ? $url['port'] : 80; $fp = fsockopen($url['host'],$url['port']); fwrite( $fp, "GET {$url['path']}?{$url['query']} HTTP/1.0\r\n" . "Host: {$url['host']}\r\n" ); fclose($fp); ?> ---- Server IP: 87.238.162.147 Probable Submitter: 84.192.218.96 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/72650 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72650/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72650/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72650/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72650/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72650/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72650/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72650 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/72650 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
