Wait, how does

blocking?

Wait, how does
PHP avoid
blocking?
Web Servers, like Apache,
are multi-threaded
PHP-FPM spins up
multiple threads for use

Parallel
Computing
Do this, this, and this at the same
time
$reports = [
new DailyBalance(),
new EndOfDay(),
new ProfitLossUpdate(),
];
foreach ($reports as $r) {
$pid = pcntl_fork();
if ($pid === 0) {
$r->run();
exit();
}
}

Parallel Programming
• Multiple Threads
• Lets the OS/CPU handle scheduling
• Can be tricky to write

Async
Programming
Try and do this, this, and this, as
simultaneously as possible
$loop = EventLoop::create();
$loop->addEvent(function () {
echo "Function 1" . PHP_EOL;
return rand(1,10);
}, function($num) {
echo "Square: " . ($num * $num) .
PHP_EOL;
});
$loop->addEvent(function () {
echo "Function 2". PHP_EOL;

$loop->run();

between larger blocking

What do Promises provide?
123
• Built off of Promises/A+
• A cleaner interface for callbacks
• A more structured workﬂow for one logic block to the next
• A way to handle errors in a clean manner

A Cleaner
Callback
Interface
use GuzzleHttpPromisePromise;
$fulfilled = function ($value) {
echo 'The promise was fulfilled.';
};
$rejected = function ($reason) {

$promise->then($fulfilled, $rejected);
$promise->resolve();
