The Worker class

    (PECL pthreads >= 2.0.0)

    Introduction

    Worker Threads have a persistent context, as such should be used over Threads in most cases.

    When a Worker is started, the run method will be executed, but the Thread will not leave until one of the following conditions are met:

    • the Worker goes out of scope (no more references remain)

    • the programmer calls shutdown

    • the script dies

    This means the programmer can reuse the context throughout execution; placing objects on the stack of the Worker will cause the Worker to execute the stacked objects run method.

    Class synopsis

    public shutdown(): bool
    public stack(Threaded &$work): int
    public unstack(): int
    /* Inherited methods */
    public Thread::getCreatorId(): int
    public static Thread::getCurrentThread(): Thread
