@euantor Just take a look at my comment below that explains threading in PHP using Pthreads.

hi guys, don't worry now. As PHP has been the leading web development language for decades (a staggering 70% contribution to web), its community will not let you down. You can do true threading with pthreads (http://pthreads.org). A multi-threaded web server (http://www.appserver.io) for PHP is in progress using pthreads. You can utilize this Posix threads. Thanks to Joe Watkins for creating pthreads and revitalizing PHP community.
