RE: [PHP-INSTALL] multi threading

The practice of sending request/response variables to determine what
action or process to perform isn't exactly multi-threading.

What you need to be aware of is cross-site scripting attacks and
cross-site request forgery; XSS and CSRF (pronounce see-surf)
respectively.  First two concepts to study up on will be:

Chris Schiflet has made a name for himself writing about the subject.

Subject: [PHP-INSTALL] multi threading

hi all,

i m using a single php script to do several jobs using if statements(for
example /login.php?action=profile instead of profile.php). but one of my
friend said that since php is unable to handle multi threads this is not
advisable. how far is it true????
