Open Swoole: PHP Server with Async IO, Coroutines and Fibers (previously Swoole)

Compared with other async programming frameworks or software such as Nginx, Tornado, Node.js, Open Swoole is a complete async solution that has built-in support for async programming via fibers/coroutines, a range of multi-threaded I/O modules (HTTP Server, WebSockets, TaskWorkers, Process Pools) and support for popular PHP clients like PDO for MySQL, Redis and CURL.

You can use sync or async, coroutine, fiber API to write the applications or create thousands of light weight fibers within one Linux process.

Swoole enhances the efficiency of your PHP applications and brings you out of the traditional stateless model, enabling you to focus on the development of innovative products at high scale, brining event loops and asynchronous programming to the PHP language.

HTTP Server

<?php
$server = new Swoole\HTTP\Server("127.0.0.1", 9501);

$server->on("start", function (Swoole\Http\Server $server) {
    echo "Swoole http server is started at http://127.0.0.1:9501\n";
});

$server->on("request", function (Swoole\Http\Request $request, Swoole\Http\Response $response) {
    $response->header("Content-Type", "text/plain");
    $response->end("Hello World\n");
});

$server->start();

WebSocket Server

<?php
$server = new Swoole\Websocket\Server("127.0.0.1", 9502);

$server->on('open', function($server, $req) {
    echo "connection open: {$req->fd}\n";
});

$server->on('message', function($server, $frame) {
    echo "received message: {$frame->data}\n";
    $server->push($frame->fd, json_encode(["hello", "world"]));
});

$server->on('close', function($server, $fd) {
    echo "connection close: {$fd}\n";
});

$server->start();

TCP Server

<?php
$server = new Swoole\Server("127.0.0.1", 9503);
$server->on('connect', function ($server, $fd){
    echo "connection open: {$fd}\n";
});
$server->on('receive', function ($server, $fd, $from_id, $data) {
    $server->send($fd, "Swoole: {$data}");
    $server->close($fd);
});
$server->on('close', function ($server, $fd) {
    echo "connection close: {$fd}\n";
});
$server->start();

Coroutine TCP Client

<?php
$client = new Swoole\Client(SWOOLE_SOCK_TCP);
if (!$client->connect('127.0.0.1', 9501, 0.5)) {
    exit("connect failed. Error: {$client->errCode}\n");
}
$client->send("hello world\n");
echo $client->recv();
$client->close();

Coroutine Redis / HTTP / WebSocket Client

<?php
$redis = new Swoole\Coroutine\Redis();
$redis->connect('127.0.0.1', 6379);
$val = $redis->get('key');
echo $val;
$http = new Swoole\Coroutine\Http\Client('127.0.0.1', 80);
$http->get('/index.php');
echo $http->body;
$http->close();

Coroutine Tasks

<?php
$server = new Swoole\Http\Server("0.0.0.0", 9501, SWOOLE_BASE);
$server->set([
    'worker_num' => 1,
    'task_worker_num' => 2,
]);
$server->on('Request', function ($request, $response) use ($server) {
    $tasks[0] = ['time' => 0];
    $tasks[1] = ['data' => 'openswoole.com', 'code' => 200];
    $result = $server->taskCo($tasks, 1.5);
    $response->end('<pre>Task Result: '.var_export($result, true));
});
$server->on('Task', function (Swoole\Server $server, $task_id, $worker_id, $data) {
    if ($server->worker_id == 1) {
        sleep(1);
    }
    $data['done'] = time();
    $data['worker_id'] = $server->worker_id;
    return $data;
});
$server->start();
