NYCPHP Meetup

As far as writing multithreaded applications in php, George 
Schlossnagles book (pg 130) points out ways of using Child processes for 
multi-tasking on Unix systems - or you can always import java classes

Maybe java needs multithreading because it doesn't want to _appear_ to 
be slow. ;)

 I just moved from Boston to Florida. Wish I had gone to the meetings there.
