Example

<?php 
// composer require rapttor/threads
require_once("./vendor/autoload.php");

\RapTToR\Threads::run(array(
    "process" => function ($data = false) {
        for ($i = 0; $i < 3; $i++) {
            echo "A $i" . PHP_EOL;
            sleep(1);
        }
    }
));


\RapTToR\Threads::run(array(
    "process" => function ($data = false) {
        for ($i = 0; $i < 3; $i++) {
            echo "BB $i" . PHP_EOL;
            sleep(2);
        }
        return "BB RUN DONE; " . PHP_EOL;
    },
    "response" => function ($data) {
        var_dump('BB response: ', $data);
    }
));

// if you would like to wait...
// pcntl_wait($status);
echo "app done.";

Test output:

main process pid = N0 
~ (back to prompt...)
starting process: N1
starting process: N2
app done.
string(7) "run A: "
bool(false)
A 0
string(7) "run B: "
bool(false)
BB 0
A 1
BB 1
A 2
N1 process finished
N2 process finished
BB 2
N0 process finished
