从同一服务器请求页面？

Question

I have a website that it consuming it's own API. This means sending a request to itself.

I feel like there might be a way to send a request to a local page quicker than just including the API url.

Right now I'm doing: file_get_contents("http://domain.com/api/recent")

These didn't work when I tried it:
file_get_contents("http://localhost/api/recent") file_get_contents("http://127.0.0.1/api/recent")

Sorry I can't comment since don't have enough reputation - my 5 cents -

You could easily use the local API by including / requiring the API php file while setting up all the posted / get variables prior to the inclusion. You could cache them if the user sent you important data and then re-set them from cache.

When you call the API with http it is basically slower as it goes through the web server and not through the PHP engine. cheers.
