Worker - is a basic class for any worker. It is composed of two substances (physically, stored in one class, but providing different functionalities):
Worker
- a separate thread, doing all background work.Worker
manager - a manipulator for the worker thread.The all you need it to extend wapmorgan\Threadable\Worker
class and reimplement onPayload($data)
public method.
For example:
use wapmorgan\Threadable\Worker;
class SleepingWorker extends Worker
{
public function onPayload($data)
{
echo 'I have started at '.date('r').PHP_EOL;
sleep(3);
echo 'I have ended at '.date('r').PHP_EOL;
return true;
}
}
WorkersPool (_wapmorgan\Threadable\WorkersPool_) - is a container for Worker
's, intended for handling similar tasks.
It takes care of all maintenance, payload dispatching and life-cycle of workers. Allows you change the size of the pool dynamically and other useful stuff.
For example, you want to just background downloading work. Let's use wapmorgan\Threadable\BackgroundWork
class to background it and show progress for user (or store in DB/...).
Everything you need to do:
1. Prepare payloads for DownloadWorker
2. Launch BackgroundWork::doInBackground()
or BackgroundWork::doInBackgroundParallel()
for one thread or few threads respectively.
DownloadWorker
needs an array with source
and target
elements. Prepare it:
use wapmorgan\Threadable\BackgroundWork;
use wapmorgan\Threadable\DownloadWorker;
use wapmorgan\Threadable\Worker;
$file_sources = ['https://yandex.ru/images/today?size=1920x1080', 'http://hosting-obzo-ru.1gb.ru/hosting-obzor.ru.zip'];
$files = [];
foreach ($file_sources as $file_to_download) {
$files[] = [
'source' => $file_to_download,
'size' => DownloadWorker::getRemoteFileSize($file_to_download),
'target' => tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'thrd_test'),
];
}
Run it in one thread with doInBackground
function. Signature is following:
`doInBackground(Worker $worker,
array $payloads,
callable $payloadHandlingCallback = null,
callable $onPayloadFinishCallback = null,
$sleepMicroTime = 1000)`
$worker
- an instance of worker.$payloads
- an array of all payloads.$payloadHandlingCallback
- a callback that will be called every $sleepMicrotime
microseconds with information about currently running payload.
Signature for callback: (Worker $worker, int $payloadI, $payloadData)
$onPayloadFinishCallback
- a callback that will be called when worker ends with one payload.
Signature for callback: (Worker $worker, int $payloadI, $payloadData, $payloadResult)
So, collect all information to run it:
$result = BackgroundWork::doInBackground(new DownloadWorker(), $files,
function (Worker $worker, $payloadI, $payloadData) {
clearstatcache(true, $payloadData['target']);
echo "\r" . '#' . ($payloadI + 1) . '. ' . basename($payloadData['source']) . ' downloading ' . round(filesize($payloadData['target']) * 100 / $payloadData['size'], 2) . '%';
},
function (Worker $worker, $payloadI, $payloadData, $payloadResult) {
echo "\r" . '#' . ($payloadI + 1) . '. ' . basename($payloadData['source']) . ' successfully downloaded' . PHP_EOL;
return true;
}
);
if ($result)
echo 'All files downloaded successfully'.PHP_EOL;
Example is in bin/example_file_downloading_easy
file.
To run it in few threads use doInBackgroundParallel
. It has almost the same signature as one-thread function:
`doInBackgroundParallel(Worker $worker,
array $payloads,
callable $payloadHandlingCallback = null,
callable $onPayloadFinishCallback = null,
$sleepMicroTime = 1000,
$poolSize = self::BY_CPU_NUMBER)`
By adjusting $poolSize
you can select number of workers that should be used.
Example is in bin/example_file_downloading_pool_easy
file.
If you just need to parallel some work and do it in another thread, you can utilize just Worker
class without any other dependencies.
To use it correctly you need to understand the life-cycle of worker:
start()
.sendPayload(array $data)
. Really, worker manager sends payload via local socket. Worker thread starts working on it and returns result of work on finish via the same socket.checkForFinish()
.stop()
or kill()
methods respectively.checkForTermination()
.Background work happens in 2 steps, where worker thread runs onPayload($data)
method of class with actual payload.
To summarize, this is an example of downloading file in another thread with real-time displaying of progress:
Settings and structures
// Implement class-downloader
class DownloadWorker extends Worker
{
public function onPayload($data)
{
echo 'Started '.$data[0].' into '.$data[2].PHP_EOL;
copy($data[0], $data[2]);
}
}
// supplementary function, just to avoid hand-writing of file sizes
function remote_filesize($path)
{
$fp = fopen($path, 'r');
$inf = stream_get_meta_data($fp);
fclose($fp);
foreach($inf["wrapper_data"] as $v) {
if (stristr($v,"content-length")) {
$v = explode(":",$v);
return (int)trim($v[1]);
}
}
}
// our function to print actual status of downloads
function show_status(&$files)
{
foreach ($files as $i => $file) {
if (file_exists($file[2])) {
clearstatcache(true, $file[2]);
$downloaded_size = filesize($file[2]);
if ($downloaded_size == $file[1]) {
echo $file[0].' downloaded'.PHP_EOL;
unset($files[$i]);
unlink($file[2]);
} else if ($downloaded_size === 0) {
// echo $file[0].' in queue'.PHP_EOL;
} else {
echo $file[0].' downloading '.round($downloaded_size * 100 / $file[1], 2).'%'.PHP_EOL;
}
}
}
}
// list of files to be downloaded
$file_sources = ['https://yandex.ru/images/today?size=1920x1080', 'http://hosting-obzo-ru.1gb.ru/hosting-obzor.ru.zip'];
// process of remote file size detection and creation temp local file for this downloading
$files = [];
foreach ($file_sources as $file_to_download) {
$file_size = remote_filesize($file_to_download);
$output = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'thrd_test');
$files[] = [$file_to_download, $file_size, $output];
}
Real work
// construct and start new worker
$worker = new DownloadWorker();
$worker->start();
// add files to work queue
foreach ($files as $file) {
echo 'Enqueuing '.$file[0].' with size '.$file[1].PHP_EOL;
$worker->sendPayload([$file]);
}
// main worker thread loop
while ($worker->state !== Worker::TERMINATED) {
// Worker::RUNNING state indicates that worker thread is still working over some payload
if ($worker->state == Worker::RUNNING) {
// prints status of all files
show_status($files);
// call check for finishing all tasks
$worker->checkForFinish();
usleep(500000);
}
// Worker::IDLE state indicates that worker thread does not have any work right now
else if ($worker->state == Worker::IDLE) {
echo 'Ended. Stopping worker...'.PHP_EOL;
// we don't need worker anymore, just stop it
$worker->stop();
usleep(500000);
}
// Worker::TERMINATING state indicates that worker thread is going to be stopped and can't be used to process data
else if ($worker->state == Worker::TERMINATING) {
echo 'Wait for terminating ...'.PHP_EOL;
// just to set Worker::TERMINATED state
$worker->checkForTermination();
usleep(500000);
}
}

Ended. Stopping worker...
Wait for terminating ...
This code equipped with a lot of comments, but you can simplify this example if you don't need to re-use worker when all your work is done. You can replace this huge loop with a smaller one:
// loops works only when worker is running.
// just to show information about downloaded files
while ($worker->state == Worker::RUNNING) {
show_status($files);
$worker->checkForFinish();
usleep(500000);
}
// when thread is in idle state, just stop right now (`true` as 1st argument forces it to send stop command and wait it termination).
$worker->stop(true);

But what if you need do few jobs simultaneously? You can create few instances of your worker, but it will be pain in the a$$ to manipulate and synchronize them.
In this case you can use WorkersPool
, which takes care of following this:
WorkersPool
object is being destructed (via unset()
or when script execution is going down).Worker::IDLE
state.Rich feature-set, right?! Let's rewrite our downloader with 2 threads to speed-up downloading.
The Settings and structures block of code remains the same, but for demonstating purposes let's use two big files:
// ...
$file_sources = ['http://hosting-obzo-ru.1gb.ru/hosting-obzor.ru.zip', 'http://soft.eurodir.ru/test-speed-100Mb.bin'];
// ...
We need to update only code working with threads.
// create pool with downloading-workers
$pool = new WorkersPool('DownloadWorker');
/
* Also, you can create pool out of object:
* $pool = new WorkersPool(new DownloadWorker());
* This is useful, when you open shared sources within worker constructor so all workers can use them.
*/
// use only 2 workers (this is enough for our work)
$pool->setPoolSize(2);
// dispatch payload to workers. Notice! WorkersPool uses sendData() method instead of sendPayload().
foreach ($files as $file) {
echo 'Enqueuing '.$file[0].' with size '.$file[1].PHP_EOL;
$pool->sendData($file);
}
// register tracker, which should be launched every 0.5 seconds.
// This method will hold the execution until all workers finish their work and go in Worker::IDLE state
$pool->waitToFinish([
'0.5' => function ($pool) use (&$files) {
show_status($files);
}]
);

As you can see, we got few improvements:
sendPayload($data): int
- sends payload to worker and returns serial id for payload.checkForFinish(): array|null
- checks if worker sent result of payload and returns it in this case.checkForTermination(): boolean|null
- returns true if worker process has died.stop($wait = false): boolean
- sends stop command to worker thread. It uses _SIGTERM_ signal to allow worker thread finish work correctly and don't lose any data. If $wait = true
, holds the execution until the worker is down.kill($wait = false): boolean
- sends stop command to worker thread. It uses _SIGKILL_ signal and not recommended except special cases, because it simply kills the worker thread and it loses all data being processed in that moment. If $wait = true
, holds the execution until the worker is down.Information:
- isActive(): boolean
- true if worker is in Worker::RUNNING
or Worker::IDLE
states.
- isRunning(): boolean
- true if worker is in Worker::RUNNING
state.
- isIdle(): boolean
- true if worker is in Worker::IDLE
state.
- getPid(): int
- returns process id of worker.
- getCurrentPayload(): int
- returns serial number of last done payload.
Warning about worker re-using! You can't restart a worker that has been terminated (with stop()
or kill()
), you need to create new worker and start it with start()
.
countIdleWorkers(): integer
- returns number of workers that are in Worker::IDLE
state.countRunningWorkers(): integer
- returns number of workers that are in Worker::RUNNING
state.countActiveWorkers(): integer
- returns number of workers that are either in Worker::RUNNING
or Worker::IDLE
states.getRunningWorkers(): Worker[]
- returns workers that are in Worker::RUNNING
state.enableDataOverhead()
/ disableDataOverhead()
- enables/disables _dataOverhead_-mode.sendData($data, $wait = false): null|boolean
- dispatches payload to any free worker. Behavior depends on _dataOverhead_ feature status:
- When _dataOverhead_ is disabled and $wait = false
(by default), this method returns null
when no free workers available or boolean
with status of dispatching (true/false
).
- When _dataOverhead_ is disabled (by default) and $wait = true
, this method will hold the execution of the script until any worker became free, dispatch your payload to it and return the status of dispatching (true/false
).
- When _dataOverhead_ is enabled, this method will dispatch your payload to any free worker. If there's not free workers, it will put new tasks in workers internal queues, which will be processed. This method uses fair distribution between all workers (so you can be sure that 24 tasks will be distributed between 6 workers as 4 per worker).waitToFinish(array $trackers = null)
- holds the execution of script untill all workers go into IDLE
state.As you've seen in examples, we created a downloading worker. But there is no need for this, we could use predefined DownloadWorker
which does the same.
