PHP download multiple files in curl or by any other way at the same time

I need to download many files from many website like e.g. 10 files which usually takes (8-9) seconds to download all the files.

What i want is to make the request simultaneously (parallel) so that the job finishes in (1-2) seconds.

I know use of curl in single requests and multiple requests. but the request of 10 files should start at the same time 

e.g. 02:38:14 // all the request started at this time

I have a lot of bandwidth so parallel download will not be a problem.

is this possible in curl or by any other way ?

If you want to do this in the shell, you can simply send a command to the background with &. This should work:

for I in `cat urls.txt`; do curl $I & done

This loops through all urls in a file called urls.txt and executes curl URL & on them. The & tells curl to run in the background.
