Php Threads

[trinistorm]

Does anyone know of a good tutorial or article that can show me the way to using threading in php?I have a couple of php classes and I want to create a sort of logger so that when each class is called the logger dumps what they are doing from memory to a text file or network stream etc.Thanks

There's no real threading in PHP.On UNIX systems, there's pcntl_fork(), which forks the current process. Forking is similar to threading, but it executes the same program (with a different process ID, on a different CPU thread I'd assume) instead of a sub program (as JAVA or .NET threads work).For Windows, there's nothing (yet).

Thanks boen. I'm going to use serialization instead when I need to write to the log. More work though, I was hoping to periodically dump the contents of main memory to a text file. I'm trying to keep my scripts platform independent so pcntl_fork() might not help.
