How do I make multiple HTTP requests in parallel in PHP?
<p>I have a script written in PHP that sends an API call to eBay. There are several (15-50) calls made every second. I did some benchmarking and noticed that PHP doesn't execute these as fast as I'd like since it doesn't run them in parallel.</p>

<p>My question: Is it a good idea to convert the script into Java, so as to give it multi-threaded capabilities? Will this even run each request in parallel like I think it would or am I misguided to believe so?</p>

<p>Any other suggestions are welcomed.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
