How to make php async?

Question

PHP

Question to those who know and fumbles.

My task is to make it possible to interrupt the recording, that is, if I launch Playback in PHP AGI, then the script waits until the recording is played and goes on, but I need to check every second, through speechkit, what the person said something or not. If it says, then you need to abort playback and run another script.

The problem, as I said, is that only 1 function is executed, not two at once.

Through what can this be done? They advised sockets, but never worked with them, maybe they are not relevant here.

Answer 1

Solved the problem like this:

$pid = pcntl_fork();
if ($pid == -1) {
    die('Не удалось породить дочерний процесс');
} else if ($pid) {
    // код первой функции
    pcntl_wait($status); // Защита против дочерних "Зомби"-процессов
} else {
    // код второй функции
}

Run 2 functions at the same time
