PHP process takes a long time to finish, how can I farm it off to a worker

I have a lot of calculations to do on a single thread (request/response). How can I multi-thread this work?

PHP CAN MULTITHREAD

pthreads is not an interface to Posix Threads, but an Object Orientated Threading API for PHP 5.3+

http://php.net/pthreads

That is not to say that it is a good idea to create threads in direct response to a web request, but as a matter of fact; PHP can multithread.

PHP cant multi-thread, it can fork - but only when not going through apache!

Look at using a Worker system, like PHP-Resque

It makes life so much easier :)
