concurrent connections

[Anon]

Hello

I need to repeatedly post (write) a string to server quickly. I am using a looped fwrite procedure to an opened socket, but I really need to make concurrent connections (multiple connections) to make it faster . I know PHP is not the best language for this, but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jeff

Hmm, AFAIK you can't fork() a php process or something like that. I think you'll have to write an external program (perl, or C if you need performance) that will make the request, then have your external program write the response to stdout and use the backticks in php to get this response. You can pass the url as a command line argument to your external program.
