How to use php-fpm for high-performance tuning

PHP is a very popular server-side scripting language that is widely used to develop web applications and dynamic websites. However, as traffic increases, the performance of your PHP application may suffer. In order to solve this problem, we can use php-fpm (FastCGI Process Manager) for high-performance tuning. This article will introduce how to use php-fpm to improve the performance of PHP applications and provide code examples.

1. Install and configure php-fpm

First, we need to install php-fpm. You can install php-fpm on a Linux system through the following command:

sudo apt-get install php-fpm

After the installation is complete, we need to perform some configurations. Open the configuration file of php-fpm, which can be found at /etc/php/7.4/fpm/pool.d/www.conf. In the configuration file, we can tune it according to specific needs.

1. Adjust the process pool configuration

The process pool controls the number of php-fpm processes and can be adjusted according to the actual situation. The following are some sample configurations:

pm = dynamic
pm.max_children = 10
pm.start_servers = 4
pm.min_spare_servers = 2
pm.max_spare_servers = 6

In the above configuration, we use the dynamic process pool (dynamic), and set the maximum number of child processes (pm.max_children) to 10, and the number of initially started child processes (pm .start_servers) is 4, the minimum number of idle processes (pm.min_spare_servers) is 2, and the maximum number of idle processes (pm.max_spare_servers) is 6.

2. Optimizing process management methods

php-fpm supports a variety of process management methods, which can be selected according to actual needs. The following are some sample configurations:

pm = ondemand
pm.process_idle_timeout = 10s
pm.max_requests = 500

In the above configuration, we used the on-demand management method (ondemand), and set the process idle timeout (pm.process_idle_timeout) to 10 seconds, and the maximum number of requests (pm. max_requests) is 500.

2. Optimize PHP code

In addition to adjusting the configuration of php-fpm, we can also optimize the PHP code to further improve performance.

1. Reasonable use of cache

PHP provides various caching mechanisms, such as OPcache, APC, Memcached, etc. Proper use of these caching mechanisms can significantly reduce script execution time.

The following is a sample code for using OPcache:

<?php
$filename = 'somefile.php';
if (apc_exists($filename)) {
    include apc_fetch($filename);
} else {
    ob_start();
    include $filename;
    $content = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    apc_store($filename, $content);
    echo $content;
}
?>

2. Avoid repeated connections to the database

In PHP applications, database connections are very resource-consuming operation, so we should try to avoid repeated connections to the database.

The following is a sample code for using singleton mode to manage database connections:

<?php
class Database {
    private static $instance;
    private $connection;

    private function __construct() {
        $this->connection = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test', 'username', 'password');
    }

    public static function getInstance() {
        if (!self::$instance) {
            self::$instance = new Database();
        }
        return self::$instance;
    }

    // ...
}

$db = Database::getInstance();

// 使用$db进行数据库操作
?>

3. Monitoring and debugging

After using php-fpm for performance tuning, we also Monitoring and debugging are required to ensure optimization results.

1. Using the php-fpm status page

php-fpm provides a status page that can be accessed through a browser to view the running status and performance of php-fpm index.

You can enable the php-fpm status page with the following command:

sudo nano /etc/php/7.4/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

Find the following line in the configuration file and uncomment it:

;pm.status_path = /status

Save the configuration file, and then Restart php-fpm:

sudo service php-fpm restart

Now, you can view the status page of php-fpm by visiting http://yourdomain.com/status.

2. Use xdebug for performance debugging

xdebug is a powerful PHP debugger that can be used to debug and analyze performance issues.

First, we need to install xdebug. You can install xdebug on a Linux system through the following command:

sudo apt-get install php-xdebug

After the installation is complete, we need to perform some configurations. Open the php.ini file, which can be found at /etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini and /etc/php/7.4/fpm/php.ini. Add the following content at the end of the file:

[xdebug]
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20190902/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_autostart=1

Save the configuration file and restart php-fpm:

sudo service php-fpm restart

Now, you can use debugger software (such as PhpStorm, Eclipse, etc.) to connect to php-fpm , and conduct debugging and performance analysis.

Conclusion

By optimizing the configuration of php-fpm and the PHP code, we can improve the performance of PHP applications. Properly adjusting the process pool configuration, optimizing process management methods, using cache, avoiding repeated database connections and other techniques can help us improve the response speed and concurrent processing capabilities of PHP applications. At the same time, through monitoring and debugging tools, we can discover and solve performance problems in time to improve the overall user experience.
