Symfony HttpClient是异步的https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/http_client.html。

例如，你可以

use Symfony\Component\HttpClient\HttpClient;

$client = HttpClient::create();
$response1 = $client->request('GET', 'https://website1');
$response2 = $client->request('GET', 'https://website1');
$response3 = $client->request('GET', 'https://website1');
//these 3 calls with return immediately
//but the requests will fire to the website1 webserver

$response1->getContent(); //this will block until content is fetched
$response2->getContent(); //same 
$response3->getContent(); //same

您可以使用exec()来调用一些可以执行HTTP请求的东西，如wget，但必须将程序的所有输出指向某个地方，如文件或/dev/null，否则PHP进程将等待该输出。

如果你想把进程和apache线程完全分开，可以尝试这样做(我不确定，但我希望你能明白):

exec('bash -c "wget -O (url goes here) > /dev/null 2>&1 &"');

这不是一项很好的业务，您可能需要类似cron作业的东西来调用heartbeat脚本，该脚本轮询实际的数据库事件队列来执行真正的异步事件。

您可以使用这个库:https://github.com/stil/curl-easy

这很简单:

<?php
$request = new cURL\Request('http://yahoo.com/');
$request->getOptions()->set(CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

// Specify function to be called when your request is complete
$request->addListener('complete', function (cURL\Event $event) {
    $response = $event->response;
    $httpCode = $response->getInfo(CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
    $html = $response->getContent();
    echo "\nDone.\n";
});

// Loop below will run as long as request is processed
$timeStart = microtime(true);
while ($request->socketPerform()) {
    printf("Running time: %dms    \r", (microtime(true) - $timeStart)*1000);
    // Here you can do anything else, while your request is in progress
}

下面你可以看到上面例子的控制台输出。 它将显示简单的实时时钟，指示请求正在运行的时间:

例如，你可以

use Symfony\Component\HttpClient\HttpClient;

$client = HttpClient::create();
$response1 = $client->request('GET', 'https://website1');
$response2 = $client->request('GET', 'https://website1');
$response3 = $client->request('GET', 'https://website1');
//these 3 calls with return immediately
//but the requests will fire to the website1 webserver

$response1->getContent(); //this will block until content is fetched
$response2->getContent(); //same 
$response3->getContent(); //same

下面是一个工作示例，只需运行它，然后打开storage.txt，检查神奇的结果

<?php
    function curlGet($target){
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $target);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        $result = curl_exec ($ch);
        curl_close ($ch);
        return $result;
    }

    // Its the next 3 lines that do the magic
    ignore_user_abort(true);
    header("Connection: close"); header("Content-Length: 0");
    echo str_repeat("s", 100000); flush();

    $i = $_GET['i'];
    if(!is_numeric($i)) $i = 1;
    if($i > 4) exit;
    if($i == 1) file_put_contents('storage.txt', '');

    file_put_contents('storage.txt', file_get_contents('storage.txt') . time() . "\n");

    sleep(5);
    curlGet($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . '?i=' . ($i + 1));
    curlGet($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . '?i=' . ($i + 1));

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();
