超时可以设置为毫秒， 参见http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt中的“CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS”

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:

ReactPHP异步http客户端 https://github.com/shuchkin/react-http-client

通过Composer安装

$ composer require shuchkin/react-http-client

异步HTTP GET

// get.php
$loop = \React\EventLoop\Factory::create();

$http = new \Shuchkin\ReactHTTP\Client( $loop );

$http->get( 'https://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2068.txt' )->then(
    function( $content ) {
        echo $content;
    },
    function ( \Exception $ex ) {
        echo 'HTTP error '.$ex->getCode().' '.$ex->getMessage();
    }
);

$loop->run();

在cli模式下运行php

$ php get.php

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

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));

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
