stress testing tool (scripts) for web server or MySQL written inPHP

[MacRules]

Found this testing tool,
http://simpletest.sourceforge.net/

I am looking for PHP scripts which can be used as create many
connections to a web server or MySQL back end for stress testing.

From a script, I can just pass 1 argument ( 100 connections) and
GET/POST with URL or execute some SQL to a MySQL back end.

I did write something way back with C/C++ on such tool.

Thanks for good works / suggestions

Why does it have to be PHP? Normally a benchmarking program would be
better written in a compiled language, so as to be able to pump requests
out as quickly as possible.

Personally, I just use Apache's ab to do my benchmarking.

Thanks, ab looks promising here.
I will give it a shot.

Find this,

$ ab -n 1000 -c 5 http://202.54.200.1/psql.php

All I need is to pass an argument (POST) to psql.php and perform PHP +
MySQL.

I can certainly recommend ab. But for more complex interactions (e.g.
session based) take a look at http::recorder and www::mechanize (perl
libs)
