Can I execute multiple database queries in parallel from the same PHP script?

Can I do simultaneous database requests in PHP in the same script?

Each PHP script has only one thread to execute in.  That means that the
script must be executed in order.  You cannot just perform two database
queries simultaneously from a script.  You must execute the first, wait
for it to finish, and then execute the second query.
