Ko-Process allows for easy callable forking. It is object-oriented wrapper arount fork part of
PCNTL PHP's extension. Background process, detaching process from the
controlling terminal, signals and exit codes and simple IPC.
PHP >= 5.4
pcntl extension installed
posix extension installed
The recommended way to install library is composer. You can see package information on Packagist.
{
"require": {
"misterion/ko-process": "*"
}
}Just clone the repository and care about autoload for namespace Ko.
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();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->dispatchSignals();
sleep(1);
}and ps aux|grep I_am_a_master or top to see you process title in linux process list.
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 forksLet`s explain you are writing something like queue worker based on PhpAmqpLib\AMPQ. So yoy 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 dispatchSignals them self to process pending signals.
$p->dispatchSignals();
if ($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();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
