FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package phpthread
phpthread
Polyfill Implementation of Threads in PHP. This class supports both FORK process and native Threads using ZTS compilation;
This class detects automatically if PHP was compiled:
- with ZTS (--enable-maintainer-zts or --enable-zts) and the extension pthreads (works on Windows also)
- with the Process Controle (--enable-pcntl)
and choose the most suitable handler for processing the threads. The thread interface is the same whatever is the Thread handler.
Notes
- Most of the fork implementation was based on the post "http://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=73623" by the "superuser"
- Tales Santos (tsantos84) contributed on the base of the Thread ZTS by creating the code base and solving some specific thread problems. Thanks!!!!
Usage
Assume for the examples below the class 'Foo' and the method 'bar':
Basic Thread Usage
Thread Pool Usage
You can create a pool of threads. This is particulary interesting if you want to queue Workers after the pool is started.
Important Note for the FORK implementation
In order to get working the 'getResult' of the fork implementation is necessary pass the setup parameters to the Thread::setThreadHandlerArguments() method;
Install
Just type: composer require "byjg/phpthread=2.3.*"
Major changes from 1. to 2.
- Method Thread::start() renamed to Thread::execute()
