&reftitle.required; pthreads requires a build of PHP with ZTS (Zend Thread Safety) enabled ( --enable-maintainer-zts or --enable-zts on Windows ) Zend Thread Safety cannot be enabled post build; it is a build time configuration option. pthreads should build anywhere there is a working Posix Threads header (pthread.h) and ZTS build of PHP, including Windows (using the pthread-w32 project from redhat).

&reftitle.install; pthreads releases are hosted by PECL and the source code by github, the easiest route to installation is the normal PECL route: &url.pecl.package;pthreads. Windows users can download prebuilt release binaries from the PECL website. Windows users need to take the additional step of adding pthreadVC2.dll (distributed with Windows releases) to their PATH.
