php-queue
=========

[](#php-queue)

PHP Class to handle concurrent running Jobs to utilize the power of multiple cores

Background
----------

[](#background)

After some search I was not able to find a php-queue alike class. This code was inspired by php-resque

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 5.3+
- php-pctnl
- Composer

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

The easiest way to work with php-queue is when it's installed as a Composer package inside your project. Composer isn't strictly required, but makes life a lot easier.

If you're not familiar with Composer, please see .

1. Add php-queue to your application's composer.json.

```
{
    // ...
    "require": {
        "jesusch/php-queue": "*"
    },
    // ...
}
```

2. Run `composer install`.
3. If you haven't already, add the Composer autoload to your project's initialization file. (example)

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
```

Jobs
----

[](#jobs)

### Queueing Jobs

[](#queueing-jobs)

Jobs are queued as follows:

```
$queue = new \JobQueue\Queue();
$queue->setMaxProcs(10);

$job = new \JobQueue\Job();

$queue->appendJob($job);

$queue->waitForJobs();
```

### Defining Jobs

[](#defining-jobs)

Each job should be in its own class, must extend `\JobQueue\AbstractJob` and include a public `run` method.

```
class My_Job extends \JobQueue\AbstractJob
{
    public function run()
    {

        // Work work work
        echo 'some fancy job';
        $sleep = rand(1,5);
        sleep($sleep);
    }
}
```
