Things like database connection pooling, (non-HTTP) server request handling, and GUI event processing could be properly implemented in PHP with multi-threading capabilities like the way it is done in Java, Perl, Python, etc. but can't be done right in PHP because it lacks multi-threading support. Any plans to add multi-threading capabilities to PHP? Regards, Manuel Lemos Web Programming Components using PHP Classes.
