title: How to make PHP Curl request not to wait?
body: <p>I've a PHP function which fetches a Curl request. This request sometimes take longer time than expected and hence my php function takes longer to return. </p>
  
  <p>In my particular case, output of curl request is not important. So is it possible with curl just to place a request and proceed without waiting for curl_exec() to finish?</p>
