Could someone give a hint on how to do multithread programming with PHP
scripting here?

Thanks

scripting languages by definition are single-threaded, so I must ask, can you
give us a psuedo-code example of what you are trying to achieve. You want to
yse the right tool to do the job and if you are trying to do multi-threading,
PHP is probably not it...

I like to have a web-base interface to test out database servers, so I
thought PHP may do this easily. In this, I can specify the number of db
connections I want to simulate. I know Java can do this, just wonder any
PHP API available or I should look at perl interface.

http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Scripting_programming_language

....appears to list many multi-threaded scripting languages.

I've never been able to find a way to multi-thread PHP but you can fork sub
processes (on a Unix box, not on Windows). However, this is not something
you should do in a web server environment, only from the command line.
