How to Create Threads?

PROBLEM: I have a list of jobs to be run, and want to spawn 3 jobs at a time. When one job finishes i want to start a new job.

-- How would I create a thread(s) to do this in php?

i've been working on this for quite some time now in php and i have understood that threading within php itself is not possible, instead i use the multitasking capabilities of the OS (xp in my case) and start 3 different php scripts at the same time..

and i dont mean opening 3 pages in a web browser... go to the shell and type
"PHP -q scriptname.php"..
a batchfile like this may also be handy:

@ off
:a
php -q scriptname.php
goto a

Thanks!!! It was driving me nuts just trying to find information on whether it was possible.
