I have 3 curl calls to facebook graph API to get data using ajax. For 3 calls it takes too much time to load data, so I tried to use curl multi URL calls methods like curl_multi_init()
to call those URLs asynchronously.
But look like in my localhost testing environment nothing working. I setup local dev environment by xampp 1.8. When I try that on the online server then it's working. But only single curl call works on localhost. Here is my code. I just put a test URL for testing:
$urls = array();
$url = "http://codeproject.com";
$urls[0] = $url; $urls[1] = $url;
// make sure the rolling window isn't greater than the # of urls
$rolling_window = 5;
$rolling_window = (sizeof($urls) < $rolling_window) ? sizeof($urls) : $rolling_window;
$master = curl_multi_init();
$curl_arr = array();
// add additional curl options here
$std_options = array(CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 5);
$options = ($custom_options) ? ($std_options + $custom_options) : $std_options;
// start the first batch of requests
for ($i = 0; $i<$rolling_window; $i++) {
$ch = curl_init();
$options[CURLOPT_URL] = $urls[$i];
curl_setopt_array($ch,$options);
curl_multi_add_handle($master, $ch);
}
do {
while(($execrun = curl_multi_exec($master, $running)) == CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM);
if($execrun != CURLM_OK)
break;
// a request was just completed -- find out which one
while($done = curl_multi_info_read($master)) {
$info = curl_getinfo($done['handle']);
if ($info['http_code'] == 200) {
$output = curl_multi_getcontent($done['handle']);
// request successful. process output using the callback function.
//$callback($output);
echo $output; //test
// start a new request (it's important to do this before removing the old one)
$ch = curl_init();
$options[CURLOPT_URL] = $urls[$i++]; // increment i
curl_setopt_array($ch,$options);
curl_multi_add_handle($master, $ch);
// remove the curl handle that just completed
curl_multi_remove_handle($master, $done['handle']);
} else {
//request failed. add error handling.
}
}
} while ($running);
curl_multi_close($master);
