I'm using cURL to post data to a server, I retrieve the result of the post
using CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER.

Part of my project requires that I POST quite a large number of transactions
to the same server using cURL, one after the other. Is there a way I can
send all the transactions across the same connection and still retrieve the
result, rather than having to open a new connection each time?

Opening a connection can be quite time consuming and I'm concerned that if
this has to be done a lot on one page it could result in page timeouts.

I'm hoping something like the following is possible:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"<server to post to>");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

foreach(<item to post>)
    {
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "<data to post>");
    $resultxml=curl_exec($ch);
    $lastcurlerror=curl_error($ch);
    
    //process the result

    }
curl_close($ch);
