title: Asynchronous Method Call In PHP
body: <p>I have the following dilemma, I have a SOAP API, need to optimise a method:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public function myMethodForOptimisation(array $options) {
      //doing some stuff
  
      $this-&gt;requestsAnUltraSlowTimeConsumingMethod();
  
      return $someData;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I do not really need to wait for the finalisation of the <code>$this-&gt;requestsAnUltraSlowTimeConsumingMethod()</code> i just asynchronously want to say to this method to do stuff and <code>return</code> the result to customer.</p>
  
  <p>Need to transform it in something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public function myMethodForOptimisation(array $options) {
      //doing some stuff
  
      async_method_call($this-&gt;requestsAnUltraSlowTimeConsumingMethod());
  
      return $someData;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><em>Is there an  async_method_call() in PHP ?</em></p>
