What are the ways and tools for that?
Can we mimic hundreds of virtual users visiting the site to see its load handling?

If this is just supposed to be a Stress Test, try http://freshmeat.net/projects/siege/

To test your PHP code, use PHPUnit. To test your frontend, use Selenium.
For security tests, I strongly suggest to buy an audit and leave that to dedicated experts. There is just too many possible attack vectors that go beyond your app code.
