NYCPHP Meetup

Somebody seems to think IRC has a place with PHP though.

I found this little note on threads with PHP but I can't find the PECL 
package that Zeev is talking about.

"We don't plan to add threading support to PHP at this point. The focus 
of PHP remains dynamic web pages. Several people have experimented with 
adding threading support for PHP - you can test it yourself by trying 
PECL/threads (experimental)."
