They can still be used in web server if used with exec('php script.php') and php-cli.ini .
pthreads 扩展由 PECL 主持，使用 » github 管理源代码。 使用标准的 PECL 包安装方式就可以完成安装：» https://pecl.php.net/package/pthreads。
Windows 用户可以从 » PECL 下载已经构建的二进制发行包。
Windows 用户需要将 pthreadVC2.dll （包含在 Windows 版二进制发行包中）所在路径加入到 PATH 环境变量中。

To compile PHP 7.2 with pthreads on Ubuntu 16.04 or Ubuntu 18.04 or Debian 9 Stretch, use this bash file at https://gist.github.com/agnelvishal/24f42c65af2f6cace1e9387617a0182a
Also, possible by phpbrew
1. phpbrew install php-5.5.30 -- --enable-maintainer-zts
2. phpbrew use php-5.5.30
3. phpbrew ext install pthreads 2.0.10
Here is how I got it working under Linux Ubuntu distro - WITHOUT USE PECL:
We will download both, PHP and Pthread without PECL
1 - Get PHP version
For this example we will use version: 5.4.36
# wget http://www.php.net/distributions/php-5.4.36.tar.gz
2- Get Pthreads version:
I'm using an old version but, you could take any one
# wget http://pecl.php.net/get/pthreads-1.0.0.tgz
Extract both, php and pthreads versions
#tar zxvf php-5.4.36.tar.gz
#tar zxvf pthreads-1.0.0.tgz
3- Move Pthreads to php/ext folder. Inside version of PHP downloaded at item 1.
4- Reconfigure sources
# ./buildconf --force
# ./configure --help | grep pthreads
You have to see --enable-pthreads listed. If do not, clear the buidls with this commands:
# rm -rf aclocal.m4
# rm -rf autom4te.cache/
# ./buildconf --force
5 - Inside php folder run configure command to set what we need:
# ./configure --enable-debug --enable-maintainer-zts --enable-pthreads --prefix=/usr --with-config-file-path=/etc
6 - Install PHP
We will run make clear just to be sure that no other crashed build will mess our new one.
# make clear
# make
# make install
7 - Copy configuration file of PHP and add local lib to include path
# cp php.ini-development /etc/php.ini
Edit php.ini and set Include_path to be like this:
Include_path = "/usr/local/lib/php"
9 - Check Modules
# php -m (check pthread loaded)
You have to see pthreads listed
10 - If pthread is not listed, update php.ini
# echo "extension=pthreads.so" >> /etc/php.ini
To execute pecl install pthreads
The library autoconf shoud be installed at first
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9322742/php-autoconf-errors-on-mac-os-x-10-7-3-when-trying-to-install-pecl-extensions
like
apt-get install pthreads
For Wampp (Windows)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Find out what is your 'PHP Extension Build' version by using phpinfo(). You can use this - http://localhost/?phpinfo=1
2. Download the pthreads that matches your php version (32 bit or 64 bit) and php extension build (currently used VC11). Use this link for download - http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/pthreads/
3. Extract the zip -
Move php_pthreads.dll to the 'bin\php\ext\' directory.
Move pthreadVC2.dll to the 'bin\php\' directory.
Move pthreadVC2.dll to the 'bin\apache\bin' directory.
Move pthreadVC2.dll to the 'C:\windows\system32' directory.
4. Open php\php.ini and add
extension=php_pthreads.dll
Now restart server and you are done. Thanks.
I haven't found any proper instructions on how to install pthreads in linux, so I'll leave the steps I followed:
# Required libraries
sudo apt-get install gcc make libzzip-dev libreadline-dev libxml2-dev \
libssl-dev libmcrypt-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev lib32bz2-dev
# Download PHP
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://www.php.net/distributions/php-<version>.tar.gz
( e.g. wget http://www.php.net/distributions/php-5.5.8.tar.gz )
# Extract
tar zxvf php-<version>.tar.gz
(e.g. tar zxvf php-5.5.8.tar.gz )
# Configure
cd /usr/local/src/php-<version>
( e.g. cd /usr/local/src/php-5.5.8 )
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-config-file-path=/etc --enable-maintainer-zts
# Compile
make && make install
( make -j3 && make -j3 install) -> Faster building
# Copy configuration
cp php.ini-development /etc/php.ini
# Install pthreads
pecl install pthreads
echo "extension=pthreads.so" >> /etc/php.ini
# Check installation
php -m | grep pthreads

For those using XAMPP or other apache-php bundles, it's necessary to add LoadFile "C:/xampp/php/pthreadVC2.dll" to httpd-xampp.conf if you want to utilize pthreads in a browser window.
HOW TO INSTALL IN LINUX SYSTEM'S:
------------------------------------
1) Download PHP sources and Unpack PHP
2) Download PEAR
wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar
php go-pear.phar
3) Download pthreads
Get PECL extension (PECL is a repository for PHP Extensions)
# pecl install pthread-0.4.4
4) Unpack pthreads
copy pthread-0.4.4 to php/ext
(for ./configure allow add option --enable-pthreads)
# mv build/php-src-master/ext/pthreads-master build/php-src-master/ext/pthreads
5) Reconfigure sources
# ./buildconf --force
# ./configure --help | grep pthreads
You should see the appropriate --enable-pthreads option listed as a result, if you do not, then
# rm -rf aclocal.m4
# rm -rf autom4te.cache/
# ./buildconf --force
6) Build PHP
Compile PHP source code
Add:
# ./configure --enable-debug --enable-maintainer-zts --enable-pthreads
7) Installing PHP
# make
# sudo make install
8) Update php.ini
Add in php.ini
extension=pthreads.so
Include_path = "/usr/local/lib/php"
9) Check Modules
php -m (check pthread loaded)
10) Test Thread Class
# php SimpleTest.php
The files are in the format:
php_pthreads-X.XX-Y.Y-ts-vcZZ-x86.zip
where
X.XX is the version of the phpthreads-win32
Y.Y is the base version of PHP that you are running
ZZ is ?? (version of compiler?)
Currently, 0.44 is the latest release of phpthreads-win32, so X.XX = 0.44
If you are running PHP 5.3.13, then Y.Y = 5.3
If you are running PHP 5.5.0, then Y.Y=5.5
etc
php_pthreads-0.44-5.3-ts-vc9-x86.zip
php_pthreads-0.44-5.4-ts-vc9-x86.zip
php_pthreads-0.44-5.5-ts-vc11-x64.zip
php_pthreads-0.44-5.5-ts-vc11-x86.zip
On Windows the installation is as follows:
Download the pthreads that matches your php version.
I found mine at: http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/pthreads/
(I used version 0.44 wich is the newest at the time of writing this, and then downloaded the one for php 5.3 which is the version I am using).
Extract the zip.
Move php_pthreads.dll to the php\ext\ directory.
Move pthreadVC2.dll to the php\ directory.
Open php\php.ini and add
extension=php_pthreads.dll
You are done.
