Hi, I have a bit of a cold today so I probably would have figured this
out for myself eventually but hey ;-)
Right I have a script that I need to run around 90 times thru a cron job
but passing a different i.d. to it each time.
not suprised.
I have experimented with running all 90 at once and its a no go as it
just makes the server run to slow and the session cookies I use time out
(I am doing some libcurl things).
Also running them in a loop one at a time is no use because it takes
about 8 hours.
if your script consumes lots of CPU, lots of memory, lots of bandwidth
or any combination of these you may not see a significant improvement by
using threads. If you sleep you might find that the total running time
will actually increase, so this is something you might want to go about
carefully. PHP isn't the easiest language to use when you have to do
your own threading but since others have already given good advice on
the howto i will refrain from adding my 0.02
