### 1.0.0 (2014-10-27)

[](#100-2014-10-27)

- initial release

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

The foreach-parallel-task for phing behaves exactly like the normal foreach-task. From the documentation of the [foreach-task](http://www.phing.info/docs/guide/trunk/apbs16.html):

*The foreach task iterates over a list, a list of filesets, or both. If both, list and filesets, are specified, the list will be evaluated first. Nested filesets are evaluated in the order they appear in the task.*

The only difference is, that the iterations are not executed sequentially but parallel. It like a foreach-version of phing's [ParallelTask](http://www.phing.info/docs/guide/trunk/apcs43.html).

This only works on \*nix machines with pcntl-extension installed. If the requirements are not fullfilled, the foreach-parallel-task will behave like a regular foreach-task.

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

[](#installation)

The suggested installation method is via [composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
php composer.phar require "doctrine/instantiator:~1.0.3"
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

- Load the task in your phing build-file

```

```

- Call the task: The syntax is exactly the same as the original task. The only difference is the optional `threadCount`-Attribute, to specify the maximum number of threads / processes to use. If not specified, the library will try to guess the best number.

```

```

Credits
-------

[](#credits)

This library task was heavily inspired by ParallelTask from Michiel Rook (), which is part of the Phing-Core.
