running curl in a for loop blocks access to website - php

Question

I have the following code which basically runs a bunch of curl request in a for loop
This is a background system job.. however when this code is running.. i can't access the website, website is just loading until this task/function is finished
public function endcount() {
$order_list = $this->order_model->get_rows([
'where' => [
"status IN ('Processing', 'In Progress') AND service_id = 1"
],
'order_by' => 'quantity ASC',
'limit' => '200'
]);
foreach ($order_list as $key => $value) {
$start_count = $value['start_count'];
//service id = 1 is for followers
if ($value['service_id'] == '1' || $value['service_id'] == '3' || $value['service_id'] == '5') {
$end_count = 0;
try {
$username = $value['target'];
$proxy = '139.99.54.49:10163';
$proxyauth = 'username:password';
$url = 'https://www.instagram.com/'. $username .'/?__a=1&__d=dis';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy); // PROXY details with port
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, $proxyauth); // Use if proxy have username and password
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Accept: application/json') );
$data = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
$error_msg = curl_error($ch);
var_dump($error_msg);
}
$json_data = json_decode($data, true);
if ($json_data && array_key_exists('graphql', $json_data)) {
$end_count = $json_data['graphql']['user']['edge_followed_by']['count'];
} else {
var_dump($username . ' data ga bisa');
$end_count = 0;
}
curl_close($ch);
} catch(Exception $e) {
var_dump($e->getMessage());
$end_count = 0;
}
if ($end_count == -666) {
$end_count = $start_count + 5;
}
$total_followers = $start_count + $value['quantity'];
$remains = $total_followers - $end_count;
if ($remains <= 10) {
$status = 'Success';
} else {
$status = 'Partial';
}
var_dump('end count of ' . $value['target'] . ' ' . $end_count . ' WITH REMAINS: ' . $remains);
if ($status == 'Success') {
$update_order = [
'remains' => $remains,
'status' => $status,
'updated_at' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
];
$update_order = $this->order_model->update($update_order, ['id' => $value['id']]);
if ($update_order == true) {
print('ID '.$value['id'].' => ['.$status.'] - [FINAL COUNT : '.$end_count.'] - [REMAINS : '.$remains.'] - [TARGET COUNT : '.$total_followers.']<br>');
} else {
print('Error..');
}
}
//var_dump($value['target']);
} else if ($value['service_id'] == '2') {
//service id = 2 is for likers
}
}
}
is there any way i can optimize this code so it is not blocking access to the site while running ?

Answer 1

try adding sleep(5); funtion to your code so server isn't overloaded with requests..
your code should look something like this :
foreach ($order_list as $key => $value) {
sleep(5);
$start_count = $value['start_count'];
