(Pew Pew Queue or also PHP Queue)
---------------------------------

[](#pew-pew-queue-or-also-php-queue)

This is a very simple PHP queue system to run background tasks.

ℹ️ It's currently in a very early stage, so don't use it in production yet! Until v1.0 there can be changes that are breaking backwards compatibility in any minor version.

Features:

- Runs on **filesystem only**! You don't need any redis, database or any other infrastructure dependency (except ideally something like supervisor to assure the queue is always running, but that's not a must).
- All background tasks are started in separate (child) PHP processes. Therefor **code changes** in job classes **immediately affect newly started jobs** without restarting anything.
- **Gracefully stop the queue worker** => don't start new jobs and wait until currently running jobs are finished.
- Define **as many queues as you want** and the limits **how many jobs** they should run **in parallel** (at most).

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require otsch/ppq
```

### Config

[](#config)

The system needs a config file, defining at least a `datapath` (only mandatory setting). Below you can see a config file with all available config options.
