Is it possible to scale a PHP system to several computer through load balancing or similar?

Yes.
Install PHP on several computers.
Use your favorite load-balancing technique.

If you use sessions make sure that all the clustered servers can
transparently use them, with cookies for example.  A problem here can be
storing session data in files rather than the database.
