I assume you mean you have multiple sockets and not just one?  If it is
just one, you just need to write a little state machine that keeps track
of your requests since only one thing can happen at a time on a single
socket.

If you have multiple sockets you should be looking at
http://php.net/socket_select and not threads.  Threads and/or pcntl
processes would be a very inefficient way to deal with something as
simple as reading messages asynchronously from many sockets.
