Fetching the Return results of a spawned Thread

[Alvin A. Delagon]

Is there any way to fetch the Return results of spawned threads within 
the parent script? I would like to do that because I'm having problems 
with Threads that do queries to a database, I often encounter Threads 
failing due to MySQL connection failures. As much as possible I plan to 
make the threads return the query string and let the parent script do 
the actual query. Thanks in advance.
