   8 Well yes, it started as an exercise (and others thought it is a joke) ;)

  10 My intention was to export apr_md5_encode() to php which generates MD5
  11 password hashes similar to those found in .htpasswd files. [PEARs
  12 File_Passwd](http://pear.php.net/package/File_Passwd) already does that, but
  13 with plain vanilla PHP - generating one password takes about 0.2 seconds and
  14 more.

  16 Currently I'm trying to make apr_threads usable - wouldn't threads in PHP be
  17 cool? Yes, they'd definitly be :) It's just a segfault away from working ;)

  19 ```php
  20     class Thread1 extends APR_Thread {
  21         function run() {
  22             // do some work
  23         }
  24     }
  25     class Thread2 extends APR_Thread {
  26         function run() {
  27             // do some concurrent work
  28         }
  29     }
  30     new Thread1;
  31     new Thread2;
  32 ```

  34 Thanks to Derick, Sara and the whole php.pecl gang - I wouldn't have managed
  35 to get that far without their tremendous help!
