| kind-of there is no fork() nor multithreading in PHP per itself, but you've the tools available to do asynchronous data handling over sockets ; given you can do a system() or exec() with a fork command... if not on Windows... it could be feasible. The main jewel is the stream_select() function. You've an explanation of what I'm suggesting (for PHP5) here on Wes Furlong's site For PHP4, it's done using sockets in stead of streams. Nice idea. Now that we speak of PHP5, it is NOT multithread-enabled, but you can duplicate a process with the PCNTL extension, namely the pcntl_fork() function. The is also in the CVS tree an experimental extension named php_threads which, as you already assumed, makes those functions available at your own risk & peril ;-) * thread_start * thread_include * thread_set * thread_get * thread_mutex_init * thread_mutex_destroy * thread_lock * thread_lock_try * thread_unlock As you can guess, there are many people thinking about multithreading in PHP, so an other extension is available, but with no documentation, althought there is a demo page !
