PPM - PHP Process Manager
====================================================



PHP-PM is a process manager, supercharger and load balancer for PHP applications.

![Build Status](https://github.com/php-pm/php-pm/workflows/CS%20&%20PHPStan%20&%20Phpunit%20&%20Integration%20Tests/badge.svg)
[![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/php-pm/php-pm.svg)](https://gitter.im/php-pm/php-pm?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge)

It's based on ReactPHP and works best with applications that use request-response frameworks like Symfony's HTTPKernel.
The approach of this is to kill the expensive bootstrap of PHP (declaring symbols, loading/parsing files) and the bootstrap of feature-rich frameworks. See Performance section for a quick hint.
PHP-PM basically spawns several PHP instances as worker bootstraping your application (eg. the whole Symfony Kernel) and hold it in the memory to be prepared for every
incoming request: This is why PHP-PM makes your application so fast.

More information can be found in the article: [Bring High Performance Into Your PHP App (with ReactPHP)](https://web.archive.org/web/20190103202024/http://marcjschmidt.de/2014/02/08/php-high-performance/)

### Features

* Performance boost up to 15x (compared to PHP-FPM, Symfony applications).
* Integrated load balancer.
* Hot-Code reload (when PHP files change).
* Static file serving for easy development procedures.
* Support for HttpKernel (Symfony/Laravel), Drupal (experimental), Zend (experimental).

### Badge all the things

#### Use

```bash
cd into/your-application

# run Symfony
docker run -v "$(pwd):/var/www" -p 8080:80 phppm/nginx --bootstrap=symfony --static-directory=web/

# run Laravel
docker run -v "$(pwd):/var/www" -p 8080:80 phppm/nginx --bootstrap=laravel --static-directory=public/
```

Docker is easier to setup and maintain. If your applications requires additional environment tools or libraries,
you can build your own image based on ours. See [github.com/php-pm/php-pm-docker](https://github.com/php-pm/php-pm-docker) for more information.

When `debug` is enabled, PHP-PM detects file changes and restarts its worker automatically.

#### Use without Docker

Follow the wiki article [Use without Docker](https://github.com/php-pm/php-pm/wiki/Use-without-Docker).

#### Performance

To get the maximum performance you should usually use `--app-env=prod` with disabled
debug `--debug=0`. Also make sure xdebug is disabled. Try with different amount of workers.
Usually a 10% over your cpu core count is good. Example: If you have 8 real cores (excl. hyper-threading) use `--workers=9`.

To get even more performance (for static file serving or for rather fast applications) try a different event loop (see https://github.com/reactphp/event-loop).

#### Debugging

If you get strange issues in your application and you have no idea where they are coming from try
using only one worker `--workers=1` and enable `-v` or `-vv`.

When debugging you should use xdebug as you're used to. If you set a break point and hold the application, then only one
worker is stopped until you release the break point. All other workers are fully functional.

**Note for XDebug and PHPStorm**: Since php-pm uses at least two processes, there are two xdebug instances as well. PHPStorm is per default configured to only accept one connection at a time. You need to increase that. You won't get xdebug working with your application if you don't increase that count.

![Xdebug and PHPStorm](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/php-pm/assets/master/xdebug-phpstorm.png)

In all workers the STDOUT is redirected to the connected client. So take care, `var_dump`, `echo` are not displayed on the console.
STDERR is not redirected to the client, but to the console. So, for very simple debugging you could use `error_log('hi')` and you'll see it on the console.
Per default exceptions and errors are only displayed on the console, prettified with Symfony/Debug component.

### Adapter

**HttpKernel for Symfony/Laravel** - https://github.com/php-pm/php-pm-httpkernel

**Zend** - https://github.com/php-pm/php-pm-zend

**CakePHP** - https://github.com/CakeDC/cakephp-phppm

### Command

![ppm-help](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/php-pm/assets/master/help-screenshot.png)

![ppm-start](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/php-pm/assets/master/start-command.png)

#### Symfony

```bash
cd my-project
docker run -v `pwd`:/var/www -p 8080:80 phppm/nginx --static-directory=web/
```

#### Laravel

```bash
cd my-project
docker run -v `pwd`:/var/www -p 8080:80 phppm/nginx --bootstrap=laravel --static-directory=web/
```

#### Zend

```bash
cd my-project
docker run -v `pwd`:/var/www -p 8080:80 phppm/nginx --bootstrap=Zf2
```

#### Wordpress

For all Wordpress lovers out there: PPM is not going to work with Wordpress due to the lack of request-response abstraction.
We highly doubt that Wordpress is ever going to be compatible because its architecture is written in a way that makes it
currently impossible to serve multiple requests in one application process.

### Performance (requests/s)

6x4GHz Intel i7, 16GB RAM. 10 concurrent, 1000 total request: `ab -c 10 -n 1000 http://127.0.0.1:8080/`

#### Symfony, CMS application

`ppm start --bootstrap=symfony --app-env=prod --logging=0 --debug=0 --workers=20`

https://github.com/jarves/jarves

| PHP Version | Dynamic at Jarves | Static file |
|--------------------------|-------------------|-------------|
| 7.0.3, StreamSelectLoop | 2387,67 | 3944,52 |
| 5.6.18, StreamSelectLoop | 1663,56 | 2636,09 |
| 5.6.18, LibEventLoop | 1811,76 | 3441,72 |

#### Laravel, example package

https://github.com/bestmomo/laravel5-example

`ppm start --bootstrap=laravel --app-env=prod --debug=0 --logging=0 --workers=20`



## Issues

* Memory leaks, memory leaks and memory leaks. You will also find leaks in your application. :) But no big issue since workers restart automatically.
* Does not work with ExtEventLoop. (So don't install `php70-event`, but you can try LibEventLoop `php56-libevent`)
* Drupal and Zend is very experimental and not fully working. Try using https://github.com/php-pm/php-pm-drupal.
* Laravel's debugger isn't working perfectly yet since it's still needed to reset some stuff after each request.
* Streamed responses are not streamed yet
* No windows support due to signal handling

Please help us fix these issues by creating pull requests. :)

### Setup

We provide ready-to-use docker images you can use right away.
If you have own setup, see in the [PHP-PM docker repository](https://github.com/php-pm/php-pm-docker) how to integrate PHP-PM in your NGiNX setup.

#### Trusted proxy Symfony

To get the real remote IP in your Symfony application for example, don't forget to add ppm (default `127.0.0.1`)
as trusted reverse proxy.

```yml
# app/config/config.yml
# ...
framework:
trusted_proxies: [127.0.0.1]
```
