In the past, PHP was known as something that processed in a synchronous way. But, as apps have become more complex, there’s been an increasing need for them to be able to handle more users and perform well. Using asynchronous programming, which is a way to do something without waiting for something else to happen, can help with this. It can be a very helpful tool, especially for web applications that need to handle a lot of requests at the same time.
ReactPHP, a library of functions that work with events and aren’t blocked by other operations, helps PHP do this.
In this article, we will explore how ReactPHP allows PHP developers to create web applications that can handle a lot of requests at once with asynchronous programming techniques to build scalable, real-time web applications.
