Running a loop while pinging different urls.

[ajs83]

After I finish uploading data to a database I want to be able to load a page that runs a query that pulls the data from the database (I know what to do here) which then needs to ping one of 4 urls depending on the number pulled and keep looping until its does so for each item that was uploaded.

I know how to pull and sort the data, but am not sure how I would have it ping the different urls without redirecting itself and thus killing the loop. What would I have to do in this situation?

Is this not possible or should I just try to carry out the actions of the intended pinged script in the query file?

I am not really getting what you are trying to do actually.

you could 'ping' a url using curl, do you really want to ping or do you want to execute something or do you want to see if it is alive?

There are submissions with ID's in a table and each id correlates to a user account. What I want to do is after all the submissions are added, call up a php file and have that file append the id to a url and visit each url which will contain a query to associate the user account with the submission.

I know if I have it redirect using the example below,

if(number == X){
(Location: [exanple.com...]
}elseif(number == XX){
echo "this";
}

it will kill the loop because it's changing pages so what I'm asking is how would I do it where it runs through the whole loop, yet visits each page to link the submissions with the users accounts?

I still don't completely get it but if I am close then you could use curl or fsockopen to do this
