You don't need libcurl to run this function for you. You know when a transfer
completes and you can easily run this function on your own when that happens!

I believe PHP5 supports the multi interface.

  When a transfer completes, the counter of running transfers in the second
argument to curl_multi_perform() will be decreased. When this happens,
curl_multi_info_read() can be used to obtain info about which easy handle that
completed.

You can reuse it. If you add it to the multi handle again (after having
removed it), the same transfer will be done again.

Yes you can.
