php get all the images from url which width and height >=200 more quicker

Question

I am simular some function like http://pinterest.com add a pin

How to get all the images from url which width and height >=200 more quicker? pinterest.com will finish the whole process nearly 10 seconds, but I need 48.64 seconds.

require dirname(__FILE__) . '/simple_html_dom.php';
$url = 'http://www.huffingtonpost.com/';
$html = file_get_html($url);
if($html->find('img')){
    foreach($html->find('img') as $element) {
        $size = @getimagesize($element->src);
        if($size[0]>=200&&$size[1]>=200){
            echo $element;
        }
    }
}// cost 48.64 seconds

I think what you use do is run curl requests in parallel using curl_multi_init please see http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-multi-init.php for more information. This way it will load much faster and escape all bandwidth issue that can also affect speed.

Save the image into a local temp directory not run getimagesize() on the local directly which is much faster than running it over http://

I hope this helps

Note***

A. Not all Images start with http

B. Not all images are valid

C. Create temp folder where the images needs to be stored

Prove of Concept

require 'simple_html_dom.php';
$url = 'http://www.huffingtonpost.com';
$html = file_get_html ( $url );
$nodes = array ();
$start = microtime ();
$res = array ();

if ($html->find ( 'img' )) {
    foreach ( $html->find ( 'img' ) as $element ) {
        if (startsWith ( $element->src, "/" )) {
            $element->src = $url . $element->src;
        }
        if (! startsWith ( $element->src, "http" )) {
            $element->src = $url . "/" . $element->src;
        }
        $nodes [] = $element->src;
    }
}

echo "<pre>";
print_r ( imageDownload ( $nodes, 200, 200 ) );
echo "<h1>", microtime () - $start, "</h1>";

function imageDownload($nodes, $maxHeight = 0, $maxWidth = 0) {

    $mh = curl_multi_init ();
    $curl_array = array ();
    foreach ( $nodes as $i => $url ) {
        $curl_array [$i] = curl_init ( $url );
        curl_setopt ( $curl_array [$i], CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
        curl_setopt ( $curl_array [$i], CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)' );
        curl_setopt ( $curl_array [$i], CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5 );
        curl_setopt ( $curl_array [$i], CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 15 );
        curl_multi_add_handle ( $mh, $curl_array [$i] );
    }
    $running = NULL;
    do {
        usleep ( 10000 );
        curl_multi_exec ( $mh, $running );
    } while ( $running > 0 );

    $res = array ();
    foreach ( $nodes as $i => $url ) {
        $curlErrorCode = curl_errno ( $curl_array [$i] );

        if ($curlErrorCode === 0) {
            $info = curl_getinfo ( $curl_array [$i] );
            $ext = getExtention ( $info ['content_type'] );
            if ($info ['content_type'] !== null) {
                $temp = "temp/img" . md5 ( mt_rand () ) . $ext;
                touch ( $temp );
                $imageContent = curl_multi_getcontent ( $curl_array [$i] );
                file_put_contents ( $temp, $imageContent );
                if ($maxHeight == 0 || $maxWidth == 0) {
                    $res [] = $temp;
                } else {
                    $size = getimagesize ( $temp );
                    if ($size [1] >= $maxHeight && $size [0] >= $maxWidth) {
                        $res [] = $temp;
                    } else {
                        unlink ( $temp );
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        curl_multi_remove_handle ( $mh, $curl_array [$i] );
        curl_close ( $curl_array [$i] );

    }

    curl_multi_close ( $mh );
    return $res;
}

function getExtention($type) {
    $type = strtolower ( $type );
    switch ($type) {
        case "image/gif" :
            return ".gif";
            break;
        case "image/png" :
            return ".png";
            break;

        case "image/jpeg" :
            return ".jpg";
            break;

        default :
            return ".img";
            break;
    }
}

function startsWith($str, $prefix) {
    $temp = substr ( $str, 0, strlen ( $prefix ) );
    $temp = strtolower ( $temp );
    $prefix = strtolower ( $prefix );
    return ($temp == $prefix);
}

Output

getimagesize() will download the ENTIRE image file first, then do the analysis. generally you only need the first couple hundred bytes of the file to get type/resolution details. Plus, it'll be using a separate http request for each image.

A properly optimized system would use a partial-get requests to fetch only the first chunk of the image, and take advantage of http keep-alives to keep TCP connection overhead down to a mininum.
