"but i don't want to use php threading" Then you are probably SOL. — AbraCadaver

PHP has no support for asynchronous stuff, OTHER than using threads. So if you don't want to use threads, then you can't really do async calls. — Marc B

You can't, php is not meant to work that way.

You can run a separate background process, which checks database for jobs to be done and does them. But that is not true async. It's just a background worker.
