Asynchronous programming can be a way to make PHP code run faster by executing one task while other tasks wait for an external task to finish.

PHP 8.1 introduced the Fiber class. This class provides a cleaner way to help implement asynchronous programming in PHP.

Please read this article to learn more about asynchronous programming and how to implement it in PHP using fiber or other alternatives like PHP extensions and frameworks specific to developing asynchronous programming-based applications.
