同时加载多个URL

Question

I have a list of resources which serve me XML feed. I need to loop through them and update database accordingly.

So imagine we have 100 URLs. I need to start fetching XML from them at the same time, then, after some time parsing of all XML feeds will be finished, and I need to catch this moment in order to update "Last refreshed time".

I use simplexml_load_url for the purpose of parsing XML.

Them most important thing is time issue, I tried fetching XMLs one-by-one and it took around 50 seconds for 20 URLs.

How can I achieve this? Number of URLs might be around 300-500.

Thanks

Take a look at GuzzleHttp that can do the concurrent file processing. Much more efficient and fast if it fits your case.
