您可以使用exec()来调用一些可以执行HTTP请求的东西，如wget，但必须将程序的所有输出指向某个地方，如文件或/dev/null，否则PHP进程将等待该输出。

如果你想把进程和apache线程完全分开，可以尝试这样做(我不确定，但我希望你能明白):

exec('bash -c "wget -O (url goes here) > /dev/null 2>&1 &"');

这不是一项很好的业务，您可能需要类似cron作业的东西来调用heartbeat脚本，该脚本轮询实际的数据库事件队列来执行真正的异步事件。

使用CURL设置低CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS来模拟请求中止 设置ignore_user_abort(true)在连接关闭后继续处理。

使用这种方法，不需要通过头文件和缓冲区来实现连接处理，这太依赖于操作系统，浏览器和PHP版本

主进程

function async_curl($background_process=''){

    //-------------get curl contents----------------

    $ch = curl_init($background_process);
    curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
        CURLOPT_HEADER => 0,
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER =>true,
        CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL => 1, //to timeout immediately if the value is < 1000 ms
        CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS => 50, //The maximum number of mseconds to allow cURL functions to execute
        CURLOPT_VERBOSE => 1,
        CURLOPT_HEADER => 1
    ));
    $out = curl_exec($ch);

    //-------------parse curl contents----------------

    //$header_size = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE);
    //$header = substr($out, 0, $header_size);
    //$body = substr($out, $header_size);

    curl_close($ch);

    return true;
}

async_curl('http://example.com/background_process_1.php');

后台进程

ignore_user_abort(true);

//do something...

NB

如果希望cURL在不到一秒的时间内超时，可以使用 CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS，尽管在类unix上有一个bug/“特性” 如果值为<，则会导致libcurl立即超时。 1000毫秒，错误“cURL错误(28):超时已达”。的 这种行为的解释是: […] 解决方案是使用CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL禁用信号

卷曲超时小于1000毫秒总是失败? http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php#104597 http://php.net/manual/en/features.connection-handling.php

这是我自己的PHP函数，当我做POST到任何页面的特定URL .... 示例:my Function的***用法…

下面是一个工作示例，只需运行它，然后打开storage.txt，检查神奇的结果

<?php

        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $target);

        $result = curl_exec ($ch);
        curl_close ($ch);
        return $result;
    }

    // Its the next 3 lines that do the magic
    ignore_user_abort(true);
    header("Connection: close"); header("Content-Length: 0");
    echo str_repeat("s", 100000); flush();

    $i = $_GET['i'];
    if(!is_numeric($i)) $i = 1;
    if($i > 4) exit;
    if($i == 1) file_put_contents('storage.txt', '');

    file_put_contents('storage.txt', file_get_contents('storage.txt') . time() . "\n");

    sleep(5);
    curlGet($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . '?i=' . ($i + 1));
    curlGet($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . '?i=' . ($i + 1));

Symfony HttpClient是异步的https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/http_client.html。

例如，你可以

use Symfony\Component\HttpClient\HttpClient;

$client = HttpClient::create();
$response1 = $client->request('GET', 'https://website1');
$response2 = $client->request('GET', 'https://website1');
$response3 = $client->request('GET', 'https://website1');
//these 3 calls with return immediately
//but the requests will fire to the website1 webserver

$response1->getContent(); //this will block until content is fetched
$response2->getContent(); //same 
$response3->getContent(); //same
