Get curl details for current page.

[BrowserBugs 889]

Hi,

A bit stumped really. I'm trying get get a live test for given urls, mainly the url you're currently on. I've the following which works, but never on the page you're viewing, it just hangs so I'm missing something for sure;

<?php
function pageReport($var) {
	$ch = curl_init($var);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
	curl_exec($ch);
	$arry = curl_getinfo($ch);
	curl_close($ch);
	return $arry;
}
$wdf = pageReport('https://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/forum/95-server-side/');
print_r($wdf); // Works
$other_page = pageReport('https://www.mydomain.co.uk/other-page.php');
print_r($other_page); // Works
// However add the following and it goes squiffy...
$this_page = pageReport('https://www.mydomain.co.uk/test.php'); // this is the page we're testing on
print_r($this_page);
?>

I'm sure it freaks due to some weird double connection on the current page? Any ideas around this?

Cheers.

Update: After much digging a few articles the best answer to what's happening; "Be aware that if you're issuing the CURL request to your own site, you're using the default session handler, and the page you're requesting via CURL uses the same session as the page that's generating the request, you'll run into a deadlock situation." stackoverflow.

For me i'm still struggling, I've a cron approach I'm working on to generate for each page at set intervals and saving the array for inclusion; essentially running this page on it's own is fine for any urls on the site as it never tests self. It's a small site so not many to do, would rather a cleaner method if anyone has any ideas?
