GearmanClient::jobStatus

gearman_job_status

(PECL gearman >= 0.5.0)

GearmanClient::jobStatus -- gearman_job_statusGet the status of a background job

Description

Object-oriented style (method):

public GearmanClient::jobStatus(string $job_handle): array

Gets the status for a background job given a job handle. The status information will specify whether the job is known, whether the job is currently running, and the percentage completion.

Parameters

job_handle

The job handle assigned by the Gearman server

Return Values

An array containing status information for the job corresponding to the supplied job handle. The first array element is a boolean indicating whether the job is even known, the second is a boolean indicating whether the job is still running, and the third and fourth elements correspond to the numerator and denominator of the fractional completion percentage, respectively.

Examples

Example #1 Monitor the status of a long running background job

<?php

/* create our object */
$gmclient= new GearmanClient();

/* add the default server */
$gmclient->addServer();

/* run reverse client */
$job_handle = $gmclient->doBackground("reverse", "this is a test");

if (
$gmclient->returnCode() != GEARMAN_SUCCESS)
{
echo
"bad return code\n";
exit;
}

$done = false;
do
{
sleep(3);
$stat = $gmclient->jobStatus($job_handle);
if (!
$stat[0]) // the job is known so it is not done
$done = true;
echo
"Running: " . ($stat[1] ? "true" : "false") . ", numerator: " . $stat[2] . ", denomintor: " . $stat[3] . "\n";
}
while(!
$done);

echo
"done!\n";

?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Running: true, numerator: 3, denomintor: 14
Running: true, numerator: 6, denomintor: 14
Running: true, numerator: 9, denomintor: 14
Running: true, numerator: 12, denomintor: 14
Running: false, numerator: 0, denomintor: 0
done!

The example above reads:
if (!$stat[0]) // the job is known so it is not done

I think the comment is wrong, it should read "the job is unknown, so it is done".

@Jan

if (!$stat[0]) // the job is known so it is not done

I believe to be correct. I read it as, if $stat[0] returns anything but false, the job is currently running, so we are not done. However, if we cannot find $stat[0] (ie: the job handle no longer exists) then the job is done.
