Dear PHP creators,
I was wondering. (And I'm probably the 1000th person asking this.) With
all the multiple-core processors and servers popping up lately, are
there any future (or current) plans for multithreading in PHP?
It's not unlikely to have a PHP script that, for example, needs to send
an email, do some database transactions and perhaps communnicate with a
web service simultaneously. In such situations where the script needs to
wait for multiple external actions it could really improve performance.
I know there are other ways to do it. (It's possible to do
"multithreading" with sockets.) Still I think it would be cool if there
would be native support. As a fanatic PHP programmer it has always been
something that I envy about in other languages.
