Hi,
This is my first post so apologies if it's in the wrong forum. Also, I have searched high and low and cannot find the answer so thought I'd be bold and ask.
I'm programming a website that searches multiple remote databases - using XML and SOAP mainly. At the moment each search is performed sequentially which takes a fairly long time. I would like to know if PHP supports threads, so that I can run the searches concurrently. The website is running under Linux and Apache. I'm using PHP version 5.*.
If PHP doesn't support threads, can anyone suggest an alternative way to speed up the searches.
Thanks in advance.
Chris.
