“Fatal error class 'Thread' not found in…” when trying to use PHP pthreads

Question

I’m working on a project for my graduation and I need to enable pthreads in PHP because I need multithreading. I used a tutorial, but I get this error: Fatal error class 'Thread' not found in….

I searched the web for help on how to enable pthreads, but nothing helped. I’m using PHP version 5.4.7.

A user suffering the same error has posted the solution on github: https://github.com/krakjoe/pthreads/issues/154

The short of it is you have to add pthreadVC2.dll to Apache configuration ... I wasn't aware of this, I don't use Windows ...

That should get you sorted ...
