title: How to make a cUrl request without receiving the response?
body: <p>Normally I Post data when I initiate cURL.  And I wait for the response, parse it, etc...</p>
  
  <p>I want to simply post data, and not wait for any response.
  In other words, can I send data to a Url, via cURL, and close my connection immediately? (not waiting for any response, or even to see if the url exists)</p>
  
  <p>It's not a normal thing to ask, but I'm asking anyway.  </p>
  
  <p>Here's what I have so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ch = curl_init(); 
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $MyUrl);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_to_send); 
  curl_exec($ch);  
  curl_close($ch);
  </code></pre>
