Multi thread problem with loop on ESP8266

Question

I'm using Nodemcu for my IoT project and I should use PHP with that. I'm trying to changing funcs, when I press the button on web site. My func1 has 1000ms delay with millis. func2 has a 360000ms delay, so I can't change func2 to func1 when I want to. I tried so many ways, how can I do that?

My code is like this:

void func1() {
  // code for manuel GPIO control 
  // millis....
}

void func2() {
  // code for automatic GPIO control 
  // millis....
}

void loop() {
  // millis....
  if (payload == 1) {
    func1();
  } else if (payload == 0) {
    func2();
  }
}

Arduino does not support multi-threading, but you can use different programming technique to make your program to work without blocking, for example Blink Without Delay
