Daaamn! I needed to process some data simultaneously using PHP, so I thought of using Threads to make things faster, checked out SO and discovered that the available Thread class can only be used in cli environment not on a web server ... FML 😑.
It's like these moments that I remember why I hate PHP, and regret accepting this job.

I miss Java 😣😣

    Use redis pubsub as event bus

    And use a queue system in Java to listen for processing request, create jobs and process them later on in a threaded manner

    I dod the same with some heavy lifting long runing task except the processor itself is written in nodejs

    Laravel has support for background tasks using message queue

    I used it a couple of years back to push notifications and send emails in background and reply to the user as soon as the job is saved in the queue

    @benderRodriguez I have a tight deadline to deliver this task but I'll surely check out your suggestion of using redis later.
    I'm using symfony not laravel.

    It's not exactly multithreading (honestly, I still struggle with the concept) but there's Gearman.
