[...] Where blast() iterates thru several thousand records, which are sent to a third-party site for processing. The third-party site allows no more than 5 connections per second, so I just call Thread.sleep(1000) on every 5th record.
It is very simple, very elegant and very fast now that some much load has been moved off the main http thread. My question is: how would this be accomplished in PHP? Would I need to recompile the whole php server with a special thread package or what? One would use PHP PCNTL functions such as C-like fork(), it comes with any PHP but is not active by default and you'd find some wrapper libraries such as PEAR's PHP_FORK in order to help have a higher level of abstraction, so that you'd may write it just pretty much the same as you did in java. Of course this relies on OS abilities.
