Remove any existing php7 and recreate php7 and other subdirectories
rm -rf /etc/php7
mkdir -p /etc/php7
mkdir -p /etc/php7/cli
mkdir -p /etc/php7/etc
Remove any php-src folder in your current working directory and reinstall from git branch
rm -rf php-src
git clone https://github.com/php/php-src.git --depth=1
Change directory to ext to download pthreads from git
cd php-src/ext
git clone https://github.com/krakjoe/pthreads -b master pthreads
Go back to php-src as your current working directory
cd ..
Build the php-src
./buildconf --force
Set configure options, enable zts, fpm, and other extensions applicable to your own case

Run configure script and install
./configure $CONFIGURE_STRING
make && make install
Make the following helper programs executable
chmod o+x /etc/php7/bin/phpize
chmod o+x /etc/php7/bin/php-config
Now change directory to pthreads and run phpize
cd ext/pthreads*
/etc/php7/bin/phpize
Set configuration options for pthreads, but make sure enable-pthreads=shared which is the main aspect of the configuration
./configure --prefix='/etc/php7' --with-libdir='/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu' \
--enable-pthreads=shared --with-php-config='/etc/php7/bin/php-config'
make && make install
FPM Installation involves copying configuration files to appropriate positions and making changes where necessary.

To use with Nginx do the following in your nginx/sites-available/default
upstream php7-fpm {
server unix:/var/run/php7-fpm.sock;
}
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
# Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
index index.html index.htm;
server_name localhost;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass php7-fpm;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
service nginx restart
To use pthreads, remember it works via command line interface. Assuming thread.php is your parallel programming code, you can't run it in sapi/fpm mode by doing localhost/path/to/thread.php with your browser
<?php
//thread.php
class Part extends Threaded{ public function run(){} }
$parts = new Part();
for($i=0;$i<4;$i++) $parts[] = $i;
?>
Instead you create a file to execute your code thread.php via command line methods like "system"
<?php
system("php /path/to/thread.php");
?>
