Threads in PHP provides a 3-sentence summary of the document: The document discusses threads in PHP programming, explaining what threads are, how to create and use them, and how to share data and synchronize threads using stackables, workers, mutexes, and other concurrency primitives. It also presents performance comparisons showing that using threads can provide significant speed improvements over traditional single-threaded PHP applications. Resources for learning more about PHP threads are provided at the end.
