Threads in PHP?

[jimgolian]

I want to run some threads in PHP similar to Java threads. I have a PHP application needing to do several things at once. Is this possible?

I believe you can via forking. I tried to configure PHP to do it on my Linux box and I was missing something. I decided not to bother because I found a work around. This was a while ago so I don't remember the details.

This might be a good start though:

Thanks for the reply. I checked out the forking but it only works in Unix. I am actually running PHP in Windows...

I did some further reasearch and I don't think PHP can do threading.
