I assume you mean you have multiple sockets and not just one? If it is just one, you just need to write a little state machine that keeps track of your requests since only one thing can happen at a time on a single socket. If you have multiple sockets you should be looking at http://php.net/socket_select and not threads. Threads and/or pcntl processes would be a very inefficient way to deal with something as simple as reading messages asynchronously from many sockets. -Rasmus
