PHP isn't threadable... PHP is Thread Safe meaning you can run multiple php
scripts on multiple threads for the samp process but you can't create threads
inside php code.

What i don't see is why you want to go from cron .. using ither php-cli or
cgi.. to using threads. It seems you are just trying to run a script that you
have multiple times?

You can do system calls inside php shell_exec("php some_script > /dev/null
2>&1"); which will allow you to call a script from a script.

or you can get into unix forking..
