CURL affects other function's process

[dineshsdk85]

Hi,

 

I am running my application in php-gtk2. It is a standalone application. I am using CURL to retrieve XML tags from the asterisk server in one function. Whenever i call that function, my application hangs for 30 to 40 secs. That CURL usually will take that time to retrieve the XML code from the asterisk server. I want to handle this situation now.

 

Can anyone give me the idea or sample to run my application smoothly without hanging? In that way my CURL program should give it's result in parallel other function should also work if i do any action in my application.

Theres no real threading in PHP so to do 2 things at once (the CURL in 1 function and your other code in another) isnt really possible. There may be some other solutions such as caching the XML data so you dont have to make the requests in the first place. Another way might be to periodically request the data using a cron script and have this placed on your local server so its avaliable to use in your PHP script.

Thanks. Is this possible to execute background only the CURL function in the same application not in the separate CLI script ? Is this possible using CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM option in CURL?
