The Little Guy Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I have been searching Google on PHP Threads, I am getting mixed thoughts. Is Multi Threading in PHP Possible? Some say no, some say yes and some say you need to make a workaround. What is the real answer?

xyph Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 PHP is compiled real-time, so multi-threading WITHIN PHP itself doesn't make sense in my head. Here's a solution here: http://www.phpclasses.org/package/3953-PHP-Emulate-threads-using-separate-HTTP-requests.html I have done a couple of 'manual' php multi-thread projects, mostly for bulk email sending. I have a 'controller' script with, say, 10 i-frames or AJAX calls within it. Each one calls the same page with different input variables. It's a pseudo multi-thread.

MadTechie Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Simply put. the answer is NO, However their are whys to simulate multi-threading but they are NOT really multi-threads, for example, opening a connection to itself or start a another child process (see pcntl_fork), etc etc Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/235733-php-threads/#findComment-1211692 Share on other sites More sharing options...
