ParaPopPHP - A PHP library for running PHP processes in parallel using popen()

Introduction

ParaPopPHP is open-source software licensed under the BSD 3-Clause License.

ParaPopPHP is a PHP library for running PHP processes in parallel using popen() instead of the more common pcntl_fork() method. This allows for parallel processing on both Windows and Linux environments. ParaPopPHP provides a single class that can be included in your project, allowing you to run multiple PHP processes or other programs in parallel with ease.

Features

• Run PHP processes in parallel using the popen() function.
• Cross-platform support for Windows and Linux.
• Easily integrate parallel processing into your PHP projects.
• Execute custom commands or scripts concurrently.

Installation

ParaPopPHP can be included in your PHP project by simply including the class.ppop.php file.

require_once('class.ppop.php');


## Usage
```php
$paraPop = new ppPHP();

// Define the commands to run in parallel
$paraPop->commands = [
    'php class.ppop.php +cmd=test_delay +delay=2 +arg1=1 +arg2=15 +arg3=3',
    'php class.ppop.php +cmd=test_delay +delay=3 +arg1=4 +arg2=10 +arg3=6',
    'php class.ppop.php +cmd=test_add +delay=2 +arg1=7 +arg2=5 +arg3=9',
    'ls -l',
];

// Run the commands concurrently
$paraPop->run();

ppPHPCommander - Managing Plugins for ParaPopPHP

Introduction

The ppPHPCommander class is open-source software licensed under the BSD 3-Clause

ppPHPCommander is a companion class for the ParaPopPHP library, designed to help you manage and execute plugins for various commands that you may want to run in parallel using the ppPHP class. This class simplifies the process of adding, associating, and executing plugins, allowing you to customize the behavior of individual commands.

Features

• Easily manage and organize plugins for different commands.
• Associate plugins with specific command names.
• Execute custom logic or actions for each command using plugins.
• Seamlessly integrate with the ParaPopPHP library for parallel processing.

Installation

The ppPHPCommander class is included in the ParaPopPHP library and does not require separate installation. To use it, simply include the class.ppop.php file and create an instance of the ppPHPCommander class.

require_once('class.ppop.php');
$commander = new ppPHPCommander();

## Usage
```php
$commander = new ppPHPCommander();

/*
Adding Plugins
To add a new plugin to the ppPHPCommander instance, use the addPlugin() method. Provide a command name and an instance of a plugin class.
*/
// Create a plugin instance and associate it with the 'test_delay' command
$testDelayPlugin = new TestDelayCommand();
$commander->addPlugin('test_delay', $testDelayPlugin);

/*
Executing Commands
To execute a command using the ppPHPCommander class, call the execute() method and provide an associative array of arguments, including the cmd key representing the command to execute.
*/
$command = [
    'cmd' => 'test_delay',
    'arg1' => 'value1',
    'arg2' => 'value2',
];

$commander->execute($command);
