PHP is not suitable for being a resident SHELL process in many cases. It does not have a dedicated gc routine and no effective memory management method. Therefore, if you use PHP as a resident SHELL, you will often be consumed by memory. It will lead to abort and unhappy.
Moreover, if the input data is illegal and the script does not detect it, resulting in an abort, it will also make you very unhappy.
So? What to do?
Haha, don’t worry, multi-process will help you!
Then, why is this?
Advantages:
1. Use multiple processes. After the child process ends, the kernel will be responsible for recycling resources
2. When using multiple processes, the abnormal exit of the child process will not cause the entire process Thread to exit. The parent process will also have the opportunity to rebuild the process.
3. A resident main process, only responsible for task distribution, the logic is clearer.
Then, how to do it?
Next, we use the POSIX and Pcntl series functions provided by PHP to implement a PHP command parser. The main process is responsible for accepting user input, and then forks the child process to execute, and is responsible for echoing the end status of the child process.
The code is as follows. I have added comments. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can read the relevant functions in the manual or reply to the message.
