Is this possible within PHP? If not - what technology do I need?


Recommended Posts

I provide a service that involves looking up 10+ websites and parsing them in real time.

I really can't wait for 10 sites to load one after the other. Is it possible to load all 10 at once with PHP, or is that beyond the boundaries of what can be achieved?

If it *is* beyond PHP's capability, what language/technology would I need to use?

I am going to each site, opening a CURL connection, retrieving the site, and then parsing it.

You can't do more than one thing at a time, that goes for all the other languages as well.

Surely there must be some method. My desktop computer can look up 200 websites simultaneously.

There's absolutely no technology that can avoid the script stopping and standing around waiting for each and every site?
My only advice would be to find some way of caching the sites, unless they are being updated very quickly and you have to have the latest info from them.  Then you can just recache them every few hours or something along those lines. 
This thread is more than a year old. Please don't revive it unless you have something important to add.
