#46919 [NEW]: Multi threading

From: n0valyfe at gamergrid dot net Operating system: All PHP version: 5.2.8 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Multi threading Description: ------------ Would it be possible to add some sort of multithreading into PHP, say a new thread is created via a function, to execute a function or object method in a new thread. Keeping the scope intact, so that $this and global vars work inside that function in another thread. I think this would benefit PHP in many ways, for instance a script wouldnt "hang" when executing something that can take a while, it can just open a new thread. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46919&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46919&r=mysqlcfg
