//do $x job;
}

some_work(843254);
some_work(7542625);

PHP does not have native support for multithreading. There are various ways to emulate it, though the overhead involved may reduce any benefit obtained. See this article (http://www.ibuildings.nl/blog/archives/811-Multithreading-in-PHP-with-CURL.html) - including the comments at the end - for some ideas.

Forking is evil. I wish they would think about making PHP having real multi threading abilities.
