你可以在PHP中使用非阻塞套接字和pecl扩展之一:

http://php.net/event http://php.net/libevent http://php.net/ev https://github.com/m4rw3r/php-libev

您可以使用库，它为您的代码和pecl扩展之间提供了一个抽象层:https://github.com/reactphp/event-loop

您还可以使用基于前面库的异步http-client: https://github.com/reactphp/http-client

查看ReactPHP的其他库:http://reactphp.org

使用异步模型时要小心。 我推荐在youtube上看这个视频:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWNcItWuKpI

事件的扩展

事件扩展是非常合适的。它是Libevent库的一个端口，是为事件驱动的I/O而设计的，主要用于网络。

我已经编写了一个示例HTTP客户端，它允许调度许多任务 HTTP请求并异步运行它们。

这是一个基于Event扩展的示例HTTP客户端类。

该类允许调度大量HTTP请求，然后异步运行它们。

http-client.php

<?php
class MyHttpClient {
  /// @var EventBase
  protected $base;
  /// @var array Instances of EventHttpConnection
  protected $connections = [];

  public function __construct() {
    $this->base = new EventBase();
  }

  /**
   * Dispatches all pending requests (events)
   *
   * @return void
   */
  public function run() {
    $this->base->dispatch();
  }

  public function __destruct() {
    // Destroy connection objects explicitly, don't wait for GC.
    // Otherwise, EventBase may be free'd earlier.
    $this->connections = null;
  }

  /**
   * @brief Adds a pending HTTP request
   *
   * @param string $address Hostname, or IP
   * @param int $port Port number
   * @param array $headers Extra HTTP headers
   * @param int $cmd A EventHttpRequest::CMD_* constant
   * @param string $resource HTTP request resource, e.g. '/page?a=b&c=d'
   *
   * @return EventHttpRequest|false
   */
  public function addRequest($address, $port, array $headers,
    $cmd = EventHttpRequest::CMD_GET, $resource = '/')
  {
    $conn = new EventHttpConnection($this->base, null, $address, $port);
    $conn->setTimeout(5);

    $req = new EventHttpRequest([$this, '_requestHandler'], $this->base);

    foreach ($headers as $k => $v) {
      $req->addHeader($k, $v, EventHttpRequest::OUTPUT_HEADER);
    }
    $req->addHeader('Host', $address, EventHttpRequest::OUTPUT_HEADER);
    $req->addHeader('Connection', 'close', EventHttpRequest::OUTPUT_HEADER);
    if ($conn->makeRequest($req, $cmd, $resource)) {
      $this->connections []= $conn;
      return $req;
    }

    return false;
  }


  /**
   * @brief Handles an HTTP request
   *
   * @param EventHttpRequest $req
   * @param mixed $unused
   *
   * @return void
   */
  public function _requestHandler($req, $unused) {
    if (is_null($req)) {
      echo "Timed out\n";
    } else {
      $response_code = $req->getResponseCode();

      if ($response_code == 0) {
        echo "Connection refused\n";
      } elseif ($response_code != 200) {
        echo "Unexpected response: $response_code\n";
      } else {
        echo "Success: $response_code\n";
        $buf = $req->getInputBuffer();
        echo "Body:\n";
        while ($s = $buf->readLine(EventBuffer::EOL_ANY)) {
          echo $s, PHP_EOL;
        }
      }
    }
  }
}


$address = "my-host.local";
$port = 80;
$headers = [ 'User-Agent' => 'My-User-Agent/1.0', ];

$client = new MyHttpClient();

// Add pending requests
for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
  $client->addRequest($address, $port, $headers,
    EventHttpRequest::CMD_GET, '/test.php?a=' . $i);
}

// Dispatch pending requests
$client->run();

test.php

这是服务器端的示例脚本。

<?php
echo 'GET: ', var_export($_GET, true), PHP_EOL;
echo 'User-Agent: ', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ?? '(none)', PHP_EOL;

使用

php http-client.php

样例输出

Success: 200
Body:
GET: array (
  'a' => '1',
)
User-Agent: My-User-Agent/1.0
Success: 200
Body:
GET: array (
  'a' => '0',
)
User-Agent: My-User-Agent/1.0
Success: 200
Body:
GET: array (
  'a' => '3',
)
...

(修剪)。

注意，该代码是为CLI SAPI中的长期处理而设计的。

---

对于自定义协议，考虑使用低级API，即缓冲区事件，缓冲区。对于SSL/TLS通信，我建议将低级API与Event的SSL上下文结合使用。例子:

SSL回显服务器 SSL客户机

---

尽管Libevent的HTTP API很简单，但它不像缓冲区事件那么灵活。例如，HTTP API目前不支持自定义HTTP方法。但是使用底层API实现几乎任何协议都是可能的。

电动汽车推广

我还在非阻塞模式下编写了另一个使用Ev扩展和套接字的HTTP客户端示例。该代码比基于Event的示例稍微冗长一些，因为Ev是一个通用的事件循环。它不提供特定于网络的函数，但是它的EvIo监控器能够监听封装在套接字资源中的文件描述符。

这是一个基于Ev扩展的示例HTTP客户端。

Ev扩展实现了一个简单而强大的通用事件循环。它没有提供特定于网络的监视器，但是它的I/O监视器可以用于套接字的异步处理。

下面的代码展示了如何将HTTP请求安排为并行处理。

测试

假设http://my-host.local/test.php脚本正在打印$_GET的转储:

<?php
echo 'GET: ', var_export($_GET, true), PHP_EOL;

那么php http-client.php命令的输出如下所示:

注意，在PHP 5中，套接字扩展可能会记录EINPROGRESS, EAGAIN和EWOULDBLOCK errno值的警告。关闭日志是可能的

error_reporting(E_ERROR);

关于准则的“其余部分”

我只想做一些类似file_get_contents()的事情，而不是等待请求完成后再执行其余的代码。

应该与网络请求并行运行的代码可以在Event定时器的回调中执行，或者Ev的空闲监视器中执行。通过观看上面提到的例子，你可以很容易地找到答案。否则，我将添加另一个例子:)

截至2018年，Guzzle已经成为HTTP请求事实上的标准库，在几个现代框架中使用。它是用纯PHP编写的，不需要安装任何自定义扩展。

它可以很好地执行异步HTTP调用，甚至可以在需要执行100个HTTP调用，但不想一次运行超过5个的情况下将它们合并在一起。

并发请求示例

use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use GuzzleHttp\Promise;

$client = new Client(['base_uri' => 'http://httpbin.org/']);

// Initiate each request but do not block
$promises = [
    'image' => $client->getAsync('/image'),
    'png'   => $client->getAsync('/image/png'),
    'jpeg'  => $client->getAsync('/image/jpeg'),
    'webp'  => $client->getAsync('/image/webp')
];

// Wait on all of the requests to complete. Throws a ConnectException
// if any of the requests fail
$results = Promise\unwrap($promises);

// Wait for the requests to complete, even if some of them fail
$results = Promise\settle($promises)->wait();

// You can access each result using the key provided to the unwrap
// function.
echo $results['image']['value']->getHeader('Content-Length')[0]
echo $results['png']['value']->getHeader('Content-Length')[0]

看到http://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/stable/quickstart.html并发请求

如果你控制了你想要异步调用的目标(例如你自己的"longtask.php")，你可以从那端关闭连接，两个脚本将并行运行。它是这样工作的:

quick.php通过cURL打开longtask.php(这里没有魔法) php关闭连接并继续(神奇!) 当连接关闭时，cURL返回quick.php 两项任务同时进行

我试过了，效果不错。但是quick.php不会知道longtask.php正在做什么，除非您在进程之间创建一些通信方式。

在执行其他操作之前，请先在longtask.php中尝试这段代码。它将关闭连接，但仍然继续运行(并抑制任何输出):

while(ob_get_level()) ob_end_clean();
header('Connection: close');
ignore_user_abort();
ob_start();
echo('Connection Closed');
$size = ob_get_length();
header("Content-Length: $size");
ob_end_flush();
flush();

代码复制自PHP手册的用户贡献注释，并进行了一些改进。

使用CURL设置低CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS来模拟请求中止 设置ignore_user_abort(true)在连接关闭后继续处理。

使用这种方法，不需要通过头文件和缓冲区来实现连接处理，这太依赖于操作系统，浏览器和PHP版本

主进程

function async_curl($background_process=''){

    //-------------get curl contents----------------

    $ch = curl_init($background_process);
    curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
        CURLOPT_HEADER => 0,
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER =>true,
        CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL => 1, //to timeout immediately if the value is < 1000 ms
        CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS => 50, //The maximum number of mseconds to allow cURL functions to execute
        CURLOPT_VERBOSE => 1,
        CURLOPT_HEADER => 1
    ));
    $out = curl_exec($ch);

    //-------------parse curl contents----------------

    //$header_size = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE);
    //$header = substr($out, 0, $header_size);
    //$body = substr($out, $header_size);

    curl_close($ch);

    return true;
}

async_curl('http://example.com/background_process_1.php');

后台进程

ignore_user_abort(true);

//do something...

NB

如果希望cURL在不到一秒的时间内超时，可以使用 CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS，尽管在类unix上有一个bug/“特性” 如果值为<，则会导致libcurl立即超时。 1000毫秒，错误“cURL错误(28):超时已达”。的 这种行为的解释是: […] 解决方案是使用CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL禁用信号

资源

卷曲超时小于1000毫秒总是失败? http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php#104597 http://php.net/manual/en/features.connection-handling.php
