Also the php PECL gearman driver (http://pecl.php.net/package/gearman) works well with the C-based gearmand server (http://gearman.org/). We do some asynchronous image processing with PHP gearman workers, and it's been a very stable solution for us.

Gearman is especially handy if you expose your application to it. I've got a wrapper that allows the app to push any function call out to the workers for async handling. So your image processing (or whatever heavy/blocking task) can be dispatched from within your standard libraries without having to maintain a separate set of code.

And the post here sounds very NIH for not even mentioning Gearman in its survey of options.
