The 'do' loop in this example will cycle indefinitely until all curl downloads complete, needlessly using CPU cycles. A much better way is to block while dowloads are in progress. Refer to the example code on the curl_multi_exec() page instead, which does this!
Sometime with arrays and loops (i.e. for or do while or foreach) curl_multi_init loses some hits, to work around this problem it is necessary to divide the loop into two parts: the start with key number zero and than, all the rest. In this way the curl_multi_init doesn't lose any hits. I did a lot of test and it seems to work well enough.
<?php
function set_option($x, $y){
curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_URL, $y);
curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_ENCODING, "gzip,deflate");

$curl_arr = array();
$master = curl_multi_init();
/*
now I put the first part of the array with the start key number zero, add all
options and add the curl_multi_add_handle;
it is necessary to detach this first part to avoid to lose some handles and than running
the loop with the start key number one.
In this way the curl_multi_init doesn't lose anything and seems to be very stable.
