Just notice that the pcntl_fork function is only available on Unix-based system.
The reference is available here.

I am searching for an alternative for windows without luck, this feature will only be available on nix systems I think. We can protect it from usage in Windows systems;-S

@peter279k @mmoreram I've tried parallel extension with @xserrat a time ago, and we discard it for complexity issues(we make it run with a docker image created by @WyriHaximus) antidot-framework/antidot-react-psr15#1, both pthreads and parallel requires PHP compiled with ZTS and extra configuration(enable extension).
I propose to maintain this feature without the windows multi-thread support and opening a new issue to research and then add multi-thread support in windows systems.
What do you think?

@kpicaza In the short term that's the easiest way to make this happen. Really interested to see how well this works with different event loops as this isn't something we've tried in the past.

@peter279k Yeah, I've build https://github.com/reactphp-parallel around it for a reason 😉 .

Thanks @WyriHaximus, @mmoreram, and @peter279k for guidance;- D. I've just opened a new issue #14 to add support and document the usage by parallel ext.

Description
Seeing the benchmark in https://github.com/the-benchmarker/web-frameworks we need to allow the option to fork the react-php server in the different threads available in the host machine.
Thanks to @mmoreram for helping me with this issue, and for your great work for the PHP community;- D
