Answer 1

A friend pointed me to CurlObjects ( http://trac.curlobjects.com/trac ) recently, which I found quite useful for using curl_multi.

$curlbase = new CurlBase; $curlbase->defaultOptions[ CURLOPT_TIMEOUT ] = 30; $curlbase->add( new HttpPost($url, array('name'=> 'value', 'a' => 'b'))); $curlbase->add( new HttpPost($url2, array('name'=> 'value', 'a' => 'b'))); $curlbase->add( new HttpPost($url3, array('name'=> 'value', 'a' => 'b'))); $curlbase->perform();

foreach($curlbase->requests as $request) { ... }
