php-workerpool
==============

[](#php-workerpool)

A simplistic approach to a threadpool in PHP

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require dan-rogers/workerpool

```

Example use case
----------------

[](#example-use-case)

This implementation is intended for something like the following:

Example implementation

Code for the above process. Lets call the script `child-process.php`:
