how to call a URL in background using PHP

I want to call a 3rd party URL, this URL is given to me by my SMS portal which is used to send SMS to end users.
Now the problem is that when I call this URL through PHP the state changes and I'm redirected to that page, is there any method by which we can call this URL again and again, the reason I want to call the URL so many times is because there can be 1000 users so in the URL I have to mention the name of the user and there phone number.
This process should be asynchronous.

You can make another script that will send the request and you can then run it from your main script with a shell command by appending & or | at now at the end of the command to move the process in to background.

What about exec() ?

Something like:

$code = escapeshellarg("file_get_contents('http://www.site.com/etc...');");
exec("php -r {$code} > /dev/null 2>&1 &");

More info about those arguments.
