Hprose and Workerman - work together!

Workerman is a framework for building multi-process servers in PHP. It allows you to build a Webserver or another kind of server - maybe for an API. Hprose is both, a protocol and RPC engine. It is modern, lightweight and amazingly fast. It's own serialization format supports objects, binary data and even more!

Introduction to Hprose

Hprose is a High Performance Remote Object Service Engine.

It is a modern, lightweight, cross-language, cross-platform, object-oriented, high performance, remote dynamic communication middleware. It is not only easy to use, but powerful. You just need a little time to learn, then you can use it to easily construct cross language cross platform distributed application system.

Hprose supports many programming languages, for example:

Through Hprose, You can conveniently and efficiently intercommunicate between those programming languages.

Usage

In order to use Hprose with a Workerman setup, you will need to have Composer. With it, the required dependencies are installed.

Example: Create a Hprose-based workerman setup

<?php # Standalone require_once "Workerman/Autoloader.php"; require_once "Hprose.php"; # If you run the native PECL extension, you won't need this. # Using composer require_once "vendor/autoload.php"; // Create the worker $host = "127.0.0.1"; $port = 9999; $worker = new WorkermanHprose($host, $port); // Set options $worker->count = 4; $worker->reloadable = true; // Add a function function hello($w) { return "Hello, $w!"; } $hprose = $worker->hprose(); $hprose->addFunction("hello"); // Start the Workerman framework, run the worker(s)... WorkermanWorker::runAll();

You now have a Workerman instance with 4 workers listening on your local port 9999. This server balances requests upon processes and lets you scale your application.

Note

hprose-php and hprose-pecl do not currently have methods to interact with a TCP server. You will need to use NodeJS or another supported language to talk to this server instance.

For further information, please consult the hprose-php and/or hprose-pecl repositories.
