PHP-CURL curl_multi_exec is it really multithreaded internally?



My question is very simple as stated in title. However I rephrase it again.





I want to download multiple sites using php-curl. I'll run it from console. I am going to use curl_multi_exec to download all the sites. Now the question, will curl create different threads for each of the request?





I know I can achieve it by forking multiple processes. But thats not threading. I dont want threading. I want to know if its multi-threaded?

  1. The answer is yes. But a common problem is name resolving. By the default the Linux gethostbyname() is a synchronous function and having X threads instead of one won't help, because they are executed in serial, because they are blocking behind resolving DNS. On Windows DNS resolving is asynchrous by default, however.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top.

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
