This package is abandoned and no longer maintained. The author suggests using the symplely/spawn package instead.

An Symfony Process Manager offering Parallel and asynchronous PHP for Blocking I/O.

An simply process manager wrapper API for symfony/process to execute and manage sub-processes.

It's an alternative to pcntl-extension, when not installed. This is part of our symplely/coroutine package for handling any blocking i/o process not handle by Coroutine natively.

The library is to provide an easy to use API to control/manage sub processes for windows OS, and other systems, without any additional software extensions installed.

Installation

composer require symplely/processor

Usage

include 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Async\Processor\Processor;

// To set the path to PHP executable for child process
Processor::phpPath('/some/path/version-7.3/bin/php');

$process = \spawn($function, $timeout, $channel)
// Or
$process = Processor::create(function () use ($thing) {
    // Do a thing
    }, $timeout, $channel)
    ->then(function ($output) {
        // Handle success
    })->catch(function (\Throwable $exception) {
        // Handle exception
});

\spawn_run($process);
// Or
$process->run();

// Second option can be used to set to display child output, default is false
\spawn_run($process, true);
// Or
$process->displayOn()->run();

Channel - Transfer messages between a Process

include 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Async\Processor\Channel;
use Async\Processor\ChannelInterface;

$ipc = new Channel();

$process = spawn(function (ChannelInterface $channel) {
    $channel->write('ping'); // same as echo 'ping' or echo fwrite(STDOUT, 'ping')
    usleep(1000);
    echo $channel->read(); // same as echo fgets(STDIN);
    echo $channel->read();
    usleep(1000);
    return 'return whatever';
    }, 300, $ipc)
        ->progress(function ($type, $data) use ($ipc) {
            if ('ping' === $data) {
                $ipc->send('pang' . \PHP_EOL);
            } elseif (!$ipc->isClosed()) {
                $ipc->send('pong' . \PHP_EOL);
                    ->close();
            }
        });

$ipc->setup($process)
\spawn_run($process);

echo \spawn_output($process); // pingpangpongreturn whatever
// Or
echo $ipc->receive(); // return whatever

Event hooks

When creating asynchronous processes, you'll get an instance of LauncherInterface returned. You can add the following event hooks on a process.

$process = spawn($function, $timeout, $channel)
// Or
$process = Processor::create(function () {
        // The second argument is optional, Defaults 300.
        // it sets The maximum amount of time a process may take to finish in seconds
        // The third is optional input pipe to pass to subprocess
    }, int $timeout = 300 , $input = null)
    ->then(function ($output) {
        // On success, `$output` is returned by the process.
    })
    ->catch(function ($exception) {
        // When an exception is thrown from within a process, it's caught and passed here.
    })
    ->timeout(function () {
        // When an time is reached, it's caught and passed here.
    })
    ->progress(function ($type, $data) {
        // A IPC like gateway: `$type, $data` is returned by the process progressing, it's producing output.
        // This can be use as a IPC handler for real time interaction.
    });

There also ->done, part of ->then() extended callback method.

->done(function ($result) {
    // On success, `$result` is returned by the process or callable you passed to the queue.
});
->then(function ($resultOutput) {
        //
    }, function ($catchException) {
        //
    }, function ($progressOutput) {
        //
    }
);

// To turn on to display child output.
->displayOn();

// Stop displaying child output.
->displayOff();

// To display child output, only by third party means once turned on.
->display();

// Processes can be retried.
->restart();
->run();

Error handling

If an Exception or Error is thrown from within a child process, it can be caught per process by specifying a callback in the ->catch() method.

If there's no error handler added, the error will be thrown in the parent process when calling spawn_run() or $process->run().

If the child process would unexpectedly stop without throwing an Throwable, the output written to stderr will be wrapped and thrown as Async\Processor\ProcessorError in the parent process.
