README
Ko-Process allows for easy callable forking. It is object-oriented wrapper around fork part of
PCNTL
PHP's extension. Background process, detaching process from the
controlling terminal, signals and exit codes and simple IPC via shared memory. This is well tested library used in
real world high load projects.
Installation
Requirements
PHP >= 5.4
pcntl extension installed
posix extension installed
Via Composer
The recommended way to install library is composer. You can see package information on Packagist.
{ "require": { "misterion/ko-process": "*" } }
Do not use composer?
Just clone the repository and care about autoload for namespace Ko
.
Usage
Basic usage looks like this:
$manager = new Ko\ProcessManager(); $process = $manager->fork(function(Ko\Process $p) { echo 'Hello from ' . $p->getPid(); })->onSuccess(function() { echo 'Success finish!'; })->wait();
If should wait for all forked process
$manager = new Ko\ProcessManager(); for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) { $manager->fork(function(Ko\Process $p) { echo 'Hello from ' . $p->getPid(); sleep(1); }); } $manager->wait();
Process title?
Yes, both ProcessManager
and Process
can change process title with setProcessTitle
function. Or you may use trait
Ko\Mixin\ProcessTitle to add this to any class you want. Take attention about ProcessManager::onShutdown
- use can
set callable which would be called if ProcessManager
catch SIGTERM
. The handler would be called before child process
would be shutdown. We use demonize
to detach from terminal. Run sample with code
$manager = new Ko\ProcessManager(); $manager->demonize(); $manager->setProcessTitle('I_am_a_master!'); $manager->onShutdown(function() use ($manager) { echo 'Catch sigterm.Quiting...' . PHP_EOL; exit(); }); echo 'Execute `kill ' . getmypid() . '` from console to stop script' . PHP_EOL; while(true) { $manager->dispatch(); sleep(1); }
and ps aux|grep I_am_a_master
or top
to see you process title in linux process list.
Spawn
Making master - child process pattern application you should care about child process be alive. The spawn
function
will help you with that - once spawn
will keep forked process alive after he exit with some error code.
$manager = new Ko\ProcessManager(); for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) { $manager->spawn(function(Ko\Process $p) { echo 'Hello from ' . $p->getPid(); sleep(1); exit(1); //exit with non 0 exit code }); } $manager->wait(); //we have auto respawn for 10 forks
Let`s explain you are writing something like queue worker based on PhpAmqpLib\AMPQ. So you can write something like this
use PhpAmqpLib\Connection\AMQPConnection; use PhpAmqpLib\Message\AMQPMessage; $manager = new Ko\ProcessManager(); $manager->setProcessTitle('Master:working...'); $manager->spawn(function(Ko\Process $p) { $connection = new AMQPConnection('localhost', 5672, 'guest', 'guest'); $channel = $connection->channel(); $channel->queue_declare('hello', false, true, false, false); $callback = function($msg) use (&$p) { $p->setProcessTitle('Worker:processJob ' . $msg->body); //will execute our job in separate process $m = new Ko\ProcessManager(); $m->fork(function(Ko\Process $jobProcess) use ($msg) { $jobProcess->setProcessTitle('Job:processing ' . $msg->body); echo " [x] Received ", $msg->body, "\n"; sleep(2); echo " [x] Done", "\n"; })->onSuccess(function() use ($msg){ //Ack on success $msg->delivery_info['channel'] ->basic_ack($msg->delivery_info['delivery_tag']); })->wait(); $p->setProcessTitle('Worker:waiting for job... '); //IMPORTANT! You should call dispatch() them self to process pending signals. $p->dispatch(); if ($p->isShouldShutdown()) { exit(); } }; $channel->basic_qos(null, 1, null); $channel->basic_consume('hello', '', false, false, false, false, $callback); while(count($channel->callbacks)) { $channel->wait(); } $channel->close(); $connection->close(); }); $manager->wait();
Shared memory and Semaphore
The Ko\SharedMemory
used Semaphore
for internal locks so can be safely used for inter process communications.
SharedMemory implements \ArrayAccess
and \Countable
interface so accessible like an array:
$sm = new SharedMemory(5000); //allocate 5000 bytes $sm['key1'] = 'value'; echo 'Total keys is' . count($sm) . PHP_EOL; echo 'The key with name `key1` exists: ' . isset($sm['key1'] . PHP_EOL; echo 'The value of key1 is ' . $sm['key1'] . PHP_EOL; unset($sm['key1']); echo 'The key with name `key1` after unset exists: ' . isset($sm['key1'] . PHP_EOL;
You can use Semaphore
for inter process locking:
$s = new Semaphore(); $s->acquire(); //do some job $s->release(); //or $s->tryExecute(function() { //do some job });
