README

Simple Fork Framework is based on PCNTL extension, the interfaces are like Thread and Runnable in Java.

Why SimpleFork

Writing Multi-Processes programs are hard for freshman. You must consider that how to recover zombie processes, interprocess communication, especially handle the process signal. SimpleFork framework provide several interfaces which like Java Thread and solutions in process pool, sync and IPC. You do not need to care about how to control multi-processes.

Require

composer require jenner/simple_fork

Or

require '/path/to/simple-fork-php/autoload.php'

Dependencies

must

• php > 5.3.0
• ext-pcntl process control

optional

• ext-sysvmsg message queue
• ext-sysvsem semaphore
• ext-sysvshm shared memory
• ext-redis redis cache and redis message queue

Property

• Process Pool and Fixed Pool
• Recover zombie process automatically
• shared memory, system v message queue, semaphore lock, file lock, redis cache, redis queue
• Three ways to make Process: extends Process, implements Runnable or create a process object with a callback function
• You can get the status of sub process
• You can stop any processes if you want, or just shutdown all processes
• You can reload the processes by reload() method, then the processes will exit and start new processes instead.

Process Pool

There are two pool you can use when you have more than one process or task to manage:Pool and FixedPool.

• Pool: you can execute different processes in one Pool object. and call the wait method to wait for all the sub processes exiting (or just do something else, but do not forget to call the wait method)
• ParallelPool: it will keep the sub processes count, you should not init any socket connection before the FixedPool start(share socket connection is dangerous in multi processes).This class has a method reload which can reload all the sub processes. When you call reload method, the master will start new N processes and shutdown the old ones.
• SinglePool: no matter how many processes you execute, it will always keep one process starting and start another after it stopped.
• FixedPool: no matter how many processes you execute, it will always keep N processes starting and start another after it stopped. the active processes' count is less then N+1 forever.

Notice

• Remember that you should call the Process::dispatchSignal method to call call signal handlers for pending signals.
• It is not recommend that adding declare(ticks=n); at the start of program to handle the pending signals.
• A better way to handle the single is that calling pcntl_signal_dispatch instead of declare which is more is a waste of CPU resources
• If the sub processes exit continually and quickly, you should set n to a small integer, else set a big one to save the CPU time.
• If you want to register signal handler in the master process, the child will inherit the handler.
• If you want to register signal handler in the child process before it start, you can call the Process::registerSignalHandler method. start method of the sub process is called, it will register the signal handler automatically.

A simple example.

class TestRunnable implements \Jenner\SimpleFork\Runnable{

    /**
     * Entrance
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function run()
    {
        echo "I am a sub process" . PHP_EOL;
    }
}

$process = new \Jenner\SimpleFork\Process(new TestRunnable());
$process->start();
$process->wait();

A process using callback

$process = new \Jenner\SimpleFork\Process(function(){
    for($i=0; $i<3; $i++){
        echo $i . PHP_EOL;
        sleep(1);
    }
});

$process->start();
$process->wait();

Process communication using shared memory

class Producer extends \Jenner\SimpleFork\Process{
    public function run(){
        $cache = new \Jenner\SimpleFork\Cache\SharedMemory();
        //$cache = new \Jenner\SimpleFork\Cache\RedisCache();
        for($i = 0; $i<10; $i++){
            $cache->set($i, $i);
            echo "set {$i} : {$i}" . PHH_EOL;
        }
    }
}

class Worker extends \Jenner\SimpleFork\Process{
    public function run(){
        sleep(5);
        $cache = new \Jenner\SimpleFork\Cache\SharedMemory();
        //$cache = new \Jenner\SimpleFork\Cache\RedisCache();
        for($i=0; $i<10; $i++){
            echo "get {$i} : " . $cache->get($i) . PHP_EOL;
        }
    }
}

$producer = new Producer();

$worker = new Worker();

$pool = new \Jenner\SimpleFork\Pool();
$pool->execute($producer);
$pool->execute($worker);
$pool->wait();

Process communication using system v message queue

class Producer extends \Jenner\SimpleFork\Process
{
    public function run()
    {
        $queue = new \Jenner\SimpleFork\Queue\SystemVMessageQueue();
        //$queue = new \Jenner\SimpleFork\Queue\RedisQueue();
        for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
            echo getmypid() . PHP_EOL;
            $queue->put($i);
        }
    }
}

class Worker extends \Jenner\SimpleFork\Process
{
    public function run()
    {
        sleep(5);
        $queue = new \Jenner\SimpleFork\Queue\SystemVMessageQueue();
        //$queue = new \Jenner\SimpleFork\Queue\RedisQueue();
        for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
            $res = $queue->get();
            echo getmypid() . ' = ' . $i . PHP_EOL;
            var_dump($res);
        }
    }
}

$producer = new Producer();

$worker = new Worker();

$pool = new \Jenner\SimpleFork\Pool();
$pool->execute($producer);
$pool->execute($worker);
$pool->wait();

Process communication using Semaphore lock

class TestRunnable implements \Jenner\SimpleFork\Runnable
{

    /**
     * @var \Jenner\SimpleFork\Lock\LockInterface
     */
    protected $sem;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->sem = \Jenner\SimpleFork\Lock\Semaphore::create("test");
        //$this->sem = \Jenner\SimpleFork\Lock\FileLock::create("/tmp/test.lock");
    }

    /**
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function run()
    {
        for ($i = 0; $i < 20; $i++) {
            $this->sem->acquire();
            echo "my turn: {$i} " . getmypid() . PHP_EOL;
            $this->sem->release();
            sleep(1);
        }
    }
}
