README

The Process class component executes command in proc_open.

Sample

<?php

$proc1 = new Process('sh');

$fd_out = $proc1->setInput('echo HelloWorld')
  ->pipe('cat')
  ->pipe('cat')
  ->pipe(['grep', 'Hello'])
  ->wait();

$ret = stream_get_contents($fd_out);

→ READ More Sample for usage

Installation

composer require takuya/process

Features

Buffered IO stream for STDOUT/STDERR

Process will return buffered IO for read/write

Method will return stream.

<?php
$proc = new Process(['echo', 'HelloWorld']);
$fd_out = $proc->run();

$output = stream_get_contents($fd_out);
// you can reuse, re-read output  
fseek($fd_out,0);
$str = stream_get_contents($fd_out);

Pseudo-thread style programming

<?php
$proc = new Process('sh sleep.sh');
$proc->start();
echo 'started';
$proc->join();

Chain Method for Pipe Command

Process#pipe() can PIPE programs.

Implicite connect pipe stdout -> stdin

<?php
$proc = new Process(['echo', 'HelloWorld']);
$fd_out =  $proc->pipe('cat')
            ->pipe('cat')
            ->pipe('cat')
            ->pipe('cat')
            ->wait();

Explicitly Pipe, connect (Proc1#)stdout -> (Proc2#)stdin

<?php
$proc1 = new Process(['echo', 'HelloWorld']);
$proc2 = new Process(['cat']);
[$p1_out,$p1_err] = $proc1->start();
$proc2->setInput($p1_out);
$proc2->start();
$proc2->wait();
$proc1->wait();

Notice: $proc2->wait() call first, to avoid long locking , to run two process in parallel. The reason is Process class adopt implied IOBuffering at wait, so calling wait() means that runs stream buffering loop until process end.

A Simple way, Only Single File for use.

No extra packages required.

A Single File src/Process.php need to use. just write require_once like this.

<?php
require_once 'src/Process.php';

This Process class is written by vanilla php. No extra packages. No pear, No composer, No other packages need to install.
Using this without composer.phar or other Package manager, all you need is Just write require_once.
