LXXXV. Process Control Functions

介绍

Process Control support in PHP implements the Unix style of process creation, program execution, signal handling and process termination. Process Control should not be enabled within a webserver environment and unexpected results may happen if any Process Control functions are used within a webserver environment.

This documentation is intended to explain the general usage of each of the Process Control functions. For detailed information about Unix process control you are encouraged to consult your systems documentation including fork(2), waitpid(2) and signal(2) or a comprehensive reference such as Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment by W. Richard Stevens (Addison-Wesley).

PCNTL now uses ticks as the signal handle callback mechanism, which is much faster than the previous mechanism. This change follows the same semantics as using "user ticks". You use the declare() statement to specify the locations in your program where callbacks are allowed to occur. This allows you to minimize the overhead of handling asynchronous events. In the past, compiling PHP with pcntl enabled would always incur this overhead, whether or not your script actually used pcntl.

There is one adjustment that all pcntl scripts prior to PHP 4.3.0 must make for them to work which is to either to use declare() on a section where you wish to allow callbacks or to just enable it across the entire script using the new global syntax of declare().

注: 该扩展模块不适用于 Windows 平台!

需求

无需外部库文件就可以加入本扩展模块的支持。

安装

Process Control support in PHP is not enabled by default. You have to compile the CGI or CLI version of PHP with --enable-pcntl configuration option when compiling PHP to enable Process Control support.

注: Currently, this module will not function on non-Unix platforms (Windows).

范例

This example forks off a daemon process with a signal handler.

例子 1. Process Control Example

<?php
declare(ticks=1);

$pid = pcntl_fork();
if (
$pid == -1) {
     die(
"could not fork");
} else if (
$pid) {
     exit();
// we are the parent
} else {
     
// we are the child
}

// detatch from the controlling terminal
if (!posix_setsid()) {
    die(
"could not detach from terminal");
}

// setup signal handlers
pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, "sig_handler");
pcntl_signal(SIGHUP, "sig_handler");

// loop forever performing tasks
while (1) {

    
// do something interesting here

}

function
sig_handler($signo)
{

     switch (
$signo) {
         case
SIGTERM:
             
// handle shutdown tasks
             
exit;
             break;
         case
SIGHUP:
             
// handle restart tasks
             
break;
         default:
             
// handle all other signals
     
}

}

?>
