Example #1 Process Control Example
<?php
declare(ticks=1);
$pid = pcntl_fork();
if ($pid == -1) {
die("could not fork");
} else if ($pid) {
exit(); // we are the parent
} else {
// we are the child
}
// detatch from the controlling terminal
if (posix_setsid() == -1) {
die("could not detach from terminal");
}
// setup signal handlers
pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, "sig_handler");
pcntl_signal(SIGHUP, "sig_handler");
// loop forever performing tasks
while (1) {
// do something interesting here
}
function sig_handler($signo)
{
switch ($signo) {
case SIGTERM:
// handle shutdown tasks
exit;
break;
