Using php curl to fetch URLs.

[strago]

Is this code correct for getting and executing multiple URLs, and is there any way to shorten it to having the $ch fetch each URL instead of making a new $ch for each URL??

<?php
$ch = curl_init('http://www.whatever.com/');
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$ch2 = curl_init('http://www.whatever.com');
curl_exec($ch2);
curl_close($ch2);

$ch3 = curl_init('http://www.whatever.com');
curl_exec($ch3);
curl_close($ch3);
?>

 

I'm just trying to have one php script be the file my servers cron job get's instead of a bunch of different URLs, and so I don't have to come on SSH and update the cron file every time I wanna change it. FTPs much easier!

Use a function?

 

function getURL($url) {
$ch = curl_init('http://www.whatever.com/');
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $ch;
}
$ch = getURL("http://somewhere.com");

 

I don't know much about curl, nor what you are trying to do, but it would seem a function would be a good way to minimize the code you have going on.
