Threads and equivilent in PHP?

[timmerk]

Hi,

I am porting some java to PHP and wondering how to go about handling the porting of the java threads?

Any ideas? I don't really know about threads, so forgive me if I seem like I have no idea what I'm talking about (because I dont lol)

What I'm trying to do is have a MSN class in php that keeps checking on stuff that the server sends.

Thanks again

don't look like there are any threads in PHP itself... but that was only after a quick glance through the manual...

however, this might help... http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.java.php
