Sending multiple CuRL requests

Im searching for some help with my CurL code. Im trying to execute multiple URLS but it only runs the last results.

Here is my code:

function executeCurl($data) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, trim($data['url']));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

//execute post
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
unset($data,$url,$ch);

//close connection
}

Im running the executeCurl in a loop but it only executes the last result.

It seems like the $result is the problem. I'm assuming that the $result is defined globally... and that means,

each time you run the executeCurl(), the $result is being overwritten. Therefore when your loop is done and you take a look at $result, all you have is the result of your LAST executeCurl().

You should return $result, and do whatever you need to do with the result for each loop.

This is a sample code which may help you:

// Add a return to your executeCurl function
function executeCurl($data) {
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, trim($data['url']));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

    //execute post
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    unset($data,$url,$ch);

    //return the result
    return $result;
}

// Your loop
$results = array();
for ($i=0;$i<count($dataList), $i++) { // $dataList is whatever your list of datas are
    $results[$i] = executeCurl($dataList[$i]);
}

// Check out your results
print_r($results);
