PHP Thread Direction

Question

Hello,

I am looking for a starting point to get a threading project started. I have a need on my server to take a starting WEB page, and based on the results, possibly parse out up to 20 additional pages. My intention would be to parse these pages concurrently.

We are using CodeIgniter on the server, but not finding a ton of direction on threads. I can grab each page one at a time, but really want to implement a queue where I can get X pages back at a time, similar to an NSOperation in objective C, or ThreadManager in C#.

So, really just looking for a starting point. Repeated searches are coming up dry.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Found what I was looking for on this, the curl_multi set of calls allows for concurrent calls on a PHP server.
