    PHP Threading

    Has anyone got any information or links for some tutorials on threading with
    PHP?
    I was looking at running a socket listener, and launch off new threads, and
    co-ordinate as requests come in.

    Cheers,
    Graham

      Graham,

      The PHP cli doesn't support multithreading. You can get multiple
      threads if you're running as an Apache or IIS extension and the
      webserver is running multiple threads, but that's all.

          That's not completely true. You can the Process Control Functions
          (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pcntl.php). However, they're only
          avaible on Unix like systems.

              That's process forking, which isn't quite the same as multi-threading.
              However it can be extremely useful depending on your requirements.

                  Yes, but those are for multiple processes, not threads. PHP doesn't
                  support multi-threading.

                      PHP isn't good at all for threading - you'd be better of luanching a
                      Python, Perl or C app from CGI instead.
