We also have functionality in Curl and some DB drivers that could execute several queries at once, in parallel, and gather the result. Its essentially the same thing but applied to specific events. It may make sense to generalize it - i.e. if you had some process like HTTP request and you wanted to do curl_multi_exec() but in your code - you'd probably want some way to easily do that... Not sure how to do technical details, as I didn't think in depth about it, but by itself the concept does not contradict the PHP execution model... -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
