Parsing many sites similtaneously.

Hello.

I've got a script that involves parsing 10 seperate websites. Some of these have quite slow servers at times. That's a loading time of 20 seconds odd for my script, almost entirely from these sites.

Is there any way at all to CURL all 10 at once, or as many similtaneously as possible, to minimise this waiting? Or is that one of the few web-scripting tasks that is truly beyond the reach of PHP?


Please advise!

I would recommend doing the processing of the sites in the background. Here is a tutorial http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/71/0.php. This says that it is forking but it realy isn't. It is realy just a tutorial on how to use an exec function to run a process in the background.

Hope this helps,
Tom
