Multi-tasking in PHP
Presentation by: Jonathon Hill (@compwright)
When it comes to multi-tasking and interacting with the operating system, PHP is no lightweight. In this talk we'll explore PHP's little-known POSIX, Process Control, and Semaphore extensions and show you how to introduce a parallel dimension to your applications.

If you were building a sample PHP/mySQL web app to show off your skills, what 5 or 6 features would you want to showcase or think you need to have in there, to prove you can do the work?
In my case, so much of my work has been rather simple in design, not fancy, not flashy, and just functional? Like a user register with email activation, log in system with profile editing and password reset, which can show you understand sessions & cookies, and SQL & database connectivity is one, but what else would you build into a showcase?
I can paginate record sets across pages, and do file uploads, which I am working on converting into a photo tool for advanced profiles.
I’ve never done a shopping cart from scratch yet, so that’s on tap for later, but what would convince you that I knew what I was doing, if you were an employer?
