Make PHP Extension thread-safe
What language does this apply to? PHP
Describe the problem you are trying to solve. I need the PHP extension to be thread-safe in order to use it in a multithreading environment in PHP.
Additional context see also https://github.com/krakjoe/parallel/issues/78
What’s your multithread environment?

Is anybody still using PHP with threads?
When I researched this a couple years ago, my conclusion was that PHP with threads is deprecated: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/92cdf87f1a276356657ca1b426c115bff0ad2798/php/ext/google/protobuf/protobuf.c#L142-L153
Making an extension thread-safe and thus usable with a thread-safe build of PHP, doesn't have anything to do with whether there's exposure of threading primitives to userland, f.e. by an extension like pthreads or parallel, where btw the latter is the successor to the former. https://www.php.net/manual/en/parallel.setup.php
Also, the fact that PHP's configure command renamed the --enable-maintainer-zts flag to just --enable-zts, doesn't count as an evidence for your conclusion either:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/configure.about.php#configure.enable-zts
This is where too many people get confused about thread-safe PHP development. It's not just about the userspace environment but the PHP virtual machine as well. PHP extensions need to be thread safe so that the virtual machine can be used in threaded server environments.
