Yes and no.

PHP, being an extreamly veristile language, can be made to do many
thing with enough imagination =). First, we really need to know what
you are doing, how, and why. By you using the term 'asynchronous', I
assume you probably a good amount about programming and threads. So,
I'm not trying to assault you're judgement, but wanting to help you in
the best way.

On way to do this is to call a/multiple CLI scripts from your base PHP
script, let them process in the background, do some more things if you
would like with your "base" script, and get back to them, reading the
results later on (if you want).
