Sending multiple submissions during one curl connection

[ocon]

I am using a script to submit new posts to my WordPress installation using curl.

I have to run the curl function ten times when I run the script, once per each new post in the batch. This seems terribly wasteful and slow, having to connect, send, and disconnect, only to do it nine times immediately thereafter.

Is there a way to optimize this process so I can do it all it one connection/execution?

$XML = "<title>Title</title><category>Category</category>Body";
$request = xmlrpc_encode_request('blogger.newPost',array('','',"username","password",$XML,1));

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.mysite.com/xmlrpc.php");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 1);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

It depends on the script you're posting to. It'd be most convenient if you could just put your blog posts into an array and fire them all over in the one request, but the receiving script may only be designed to take one post at a time.

Anyways, curl_multi_init [php.net] might be what you're after.

If your wordpress installation is on the same server as this above script then why not create a wordpress plugin to insert the data directly into the wordpress database? XML-RPC is for remote posting of content.

Thank you very much.
