What are the common Linux system operations in PHP programming?

PHP is a scripting language commonly used for the development of WEB applications. Typically, it is used for dynamic website development, server-side programs, and command-line scripts. PHP scripts are very common in Linux operating systems, therefore, there are many Linux system operations involved in PHP programming. This article will discuss some common Linux operations and provide you with a better understanding and foundation for writing PHP code.

1. File Operation

File operation is one of the most common operations in PHP programming. Typically, this includes creating, reading, writing, and deleting files, etc. In Linux systems, there are many commands that can be used to perform these tasks, such as: cp, mv, ls, rm, etc. In PHP, common functions for file operations include: fopen, feof, fgets, fclose, file_put_contents, unlink, etc. These functions can be used to create files, read and write file contents, and delete files.

The following is a sample code showing how to use PHP for basic file operations:

$file = fopen("example.txt", "r"); // 打开文件
if ($file) {
   while (($line = fgets($file)) !== false) {
       echo $line; // 读取文件内容
   }
   fclose($file); // 关闭文件
}

2. Process Control

In Linux systems, process control is very important. When a process is created, it allocates some resources in the Linux kernel, such as CPU time, memory space, and file descriptors. Therefore, process control makes it easy to track, manage, and kill these processes in Linux. In PHP programming, process control is also required. For this purpose, PHP provides us with a process control function pcntl_fork(), one of which is used to create a child process, and the other is used to wait and check the exit status of the child process.

The following is a sample code showing how to use PHP for basic process control:

$pid = pcntl_fork(); // 创建子进程
if ($pid == -1) {
   die('无法创建子进程'); 
} else if ($pid) { 
   pcntl_wait($status); // 父进程等待子进程结束
} else { 
   // 子进程执行的代码
   exit(0); 
}

3. Network Programming

PHP is also a very suitable for network Programming language, more convenient when using network protocols in Linux systems. For example, PHP can easily handle HTTP requests and responses, etc. In PHP programming, there are some network programming functions that can be used to read and write data from network sockets, such as: socket_create, socket_connect, socket_listen, socket_accept, socket_write, socket_read, etc. These functions can be used to create network sockets, accept connections, send and receive data, and more.

The following is a sample code showing how to use PHP for basic network programming:

$host = "localhost"; 
$port = 8080; 

$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); // 创建套接字
socket_bind($socket, $host, $port); // 绑定套接字
socket_listen($socket); // 监听到连接请求

while (true) { 
   $client = socket_accept($socket); // 接受连接
   $message = "Hello, world! 
"; // 生成响应
   socket_write($client, $message, strlen($message)); // 发送响应
   socket_close($client); //关闭连接
}

In this article, we have introduced some common Linux system operations that are very important in PHP programming. File operations, process control and network programming are operations we often use when programming PHP. Understanding these operations will help you write better PHP code.
