SAPI according to Wikipedia“The Server Applica^on Programming Interface (SAPI) is the generic term used to designate direct module interfaces to web server applica^ons”

SAPI according to Wikipedia The way you interact with PHP

Common SAPIs • Apache/Apache 2 • CGI • FastCGI • ISAPI • CLI • GTK

The CLI SAPI according to php.net As of version 4.3.0, PHP supports a new SAPI type (Server Applica^on Programming Interface) named CLI which means Command Line Interface. As the name implies, this SAPI type main focus is on developing shell (or desktop as well) applica^ons with PHP

The CLI SAPI according to php.netPHP script execu^on via the command line interface

When to use• In crons• For batch tasks• For worker processes• Daemons• Process control• Interac^on with other binaries

Comparing the Apache & CLI SAPI

Comparing the Apache & CLI SAPI Web based SAPI’s• HTTP is a stateless protocol• Request/response based• Limited interac^on• Sessions & cookies as workaround• Execu^on ^meouts• Limited request/response size

Comparing the Apache & CLI SAPI CLI SAPI• Controlable state• Controlable script execuôn• Con^nuous interacôn• No need for sessions• No execuôn ^meouts

Measuring the state

Input & output

Input & output Web CLI• $_SERVER • $_SERVER• $_GET • $argc/$argv• $_POST • $_ENV• $_COOKIE • getopt()• $_SESSION • STDIN/STDOUT/ STDERR• $_ENV

Change your mindset

Change your mindset Don’t use sessions & cookies Just use local variables

Change your mindset Don’t “get” your input Just “read” it

Change your mindset Don’t bundle your output You can use distributed output

Change your mindset If you don’t need HTTP, use CLI E.g. cronjobs Avoid overhead

Change your mindset Current directory != webroot CLI scripts are ➡Use dirname(__FILE__) executable everywhere➡Use chdir()➡Use getcwd()

PCNTL according to php.net Process Control support in PHP implements the Unix style of process creaôn, program execuôn, signal handling and process terminaôn.

Process Control should not be enabled within a web server environment and unexpected results may happen if any Process Control func^ons are used within a web server environment.

Forking according to Wikipedia In compu^ng, when a process forks, it creates a copy of itself

Forking PID value determines context Copy <?php program $pid = pcntl_fork();if ($pid == -1) { execu^on //Forking failed} else if ($pid) { //Parent logic} else { PID of child //Child logic} process

Forking<?php$pid = pcntl_fork();if ($pid == -1) { die(could not fork);} else if ($pid) { echo "[parent] Starting".PHP_EOL; pcntl_wait($status); echo "[parent] Exiting".PHP_EOL;} else { echo "[child] Starting".PHP_EOL; for($i=0;$i<3;$i++){ echo "[child] Loop $i".PHP_EOL; sleep(1); } echo "[child] Exiting".PHP_EOL; exit;}

Forking Perform forking<?php$pid = pcntl_fork();if ($pid == -1) { die(could not fork); Wait for child } else if ($pid) { termina^on echo "[parent] Starting".PHP_EOL; pcntl_wait($status); echo "[parent] Exiting".PHP_EOL;} else { echo "[child] Starting".PHP_EOL; for($i=0;$i<3;$i++){ echo "[child] Loop $i".PHP_EOL; sleep(1); } echo "[child] Exiting".PHP_EOL; exit;}

SignalsA signal is a limited form of inter-‐process communicaôn used in Unix, Unix-‐like, and other POSIX-‐compliant opera^ng systems. Essenâlly it is an asynchronous no^ficaôn sent to a process in order to no^fy it of an event that occurred.

Signals<?phpdeclare(ticks = 1);function sig_handler($signo){ switch ($signo) { case SIGTERM: echo PHP_EOL."SIGTERM".PHP_EOL; exit(); break; case SIGINT: echo PHP_EOL."SIGINT".PHP_EOL; exit(); break; }}pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, "sig_handler");pcntl_signal(SIGINT, "sig_handler");sleep(100);

Signals<?phpdeclare(ticks = 1); Process termina^onfunction sig_handler($signo){ switch ($signo) { case SIGTERM: Process echo PHP_EOL."SIGTERM".PHP_EOL; exit(); break; case SIGINT: interrup^on echo PHP_EOL."SIGINT".PHP_EOL; exit(); break; Catch signals }}pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, "sig_handler");pcntl_signal(SIGINT, "sig_handler");sleep(100);

POSIX process control funcOons<?phpecho "[prefork] PID: ".posix_getpid().", parent PID: ".posix_getppid().PHP_EOL;$pid = pcntl_fork();if ($pid == -1) { die(could not fork);} else if ($pid == 0) { echo "[child] PID: ".posix_getpid().", parent PID: ".posix_getppid().PHP_EOL; exit;} else { echo "[parent] PID: ".posix_getpid().", parent PID: ".posix_getppid().PHP_EOL; pcntl_wait($status);}

Parent PID Prefork PID POSIX process c== funcOons of parent ontrol == <?php session PID parent PIDecho "[prefork] PID: ".posix_getpid().", parent PID: ".posix_getppid().PHP_EOL;$pid = pcntl_fork();if ($pid == -1) { die(could not fork); child PID} else if ($pid == 0) { child PID echo "[child] PID: ".posix_getpid().", parent PID: ".posix_getppid().PHP_EOL; exit; parent } else { PID echo "[parent] PID: ".posix_getpid().", parent PID: ".posix_getppid().PHP_EOL; pcntl_wait($status);}

POSIX process control funcOons<?php$pid=pcntl_fork();if ($pid == -1) { die("could not fork");} else if ($pid) { $exists = posix_kill($pid,0)?still:no longer; echo "[parent] Child process $pid $exists exists".PHP_EOL; echo "[parent] Killing child process $pid".PHP_EOL; posix_kill($pid,SIGTERM); echo "[parent] Child process $pid killed".PHP_EOL; pcntl_wait($status); $exists = posix_kill($pid,0)?still:no longer; echo "[parent] Child process $pid $exists exists".PHP_EOL;} else { while(true){ sleep(100); } exit;}

POSIX process control funcOons “KILL 0” checks <?php$pid=pcntl_fork(); existenceif ($pid == -1) { die("could not fork");} else if ($pid) { Send SIGTERM $exists = posix_kill($pid,0)?still:no longer; echo "[parent] Child process $pid $exists exists".PHP_EOL; signal echo "[parent] Killing child process $pid".PHP_EOL; posix_kill($pid,SIGTERM); echo "[parent] Child process $pid killed".PHP_EOL; pcntl_wait($status); $exists = posix_kill($pid,0)?still:no longer; echo "[parent] Child process $pid $exists exists".PHP_EOL;} else { while(true){ Child process sleep(100); } is dead exit;}

Some PCNTL guidelines✓Detect your CWD✓Use PID ﬁles✓Control you ﬁle privileges✓Detach you session✓Avoid rogue child processes✓Cleanup your garbage
