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:

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。

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

class async_file_get_contents extends Thread{
    public $ret;
    public $url;
    public $finished;
        public function __construct($url) {
        $this->finished=false;
        $this->url=$url;
    }
        public function run() {
        $this->ret=file_get_contents($this->url);
        $this->finished=true;
    }
}
$afgc=new async_file_get_contents("http://example.org/file.ext");

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
