CLXXIV. win32service Functions

Introduction

The win32service extension is a Windows specific extension that allows PHP to communicate with the Service Control Manager to start, stop, register and unregister services, and even allows your PHP scripts to run as a service.

Requirements

Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. Any version of Windows derived from Windows NT should be compatible.

Installation

Installing from PECL

  1. You can download php_win32service.dll from http://snaps.php.net/win32/. Choose the PECL_X_X folder that matches you PHP version.

  2. Copy the php_win32service.dll into your extension_dir.

  3. Load the extension from your php.ini 
    extension=php_win32service.dll

Examples

Example 1. Registering a PHP script to run as a service

<?php
win32_create_service(array(
        'service' => 'dummyphp',                 # the name of your service
        'display' => 'sample dummy PHP service', # description
        'params' => 'c:\path\to\script.php run', # path to the script and parameters
    ));
?>

Example 2. Unregistering a service

<?php
win32_delete_service('dummyphp');
?>

Example 3. Running as a service

<?php
if ($argv[1] == 'run') {
  win32_start_service_ctrl_dispatcher('dummyphp');

  while (WIN32_SERVICE_CONTROL_STOP != win32_get_last_control_message()) {
    # do your work here.
    # try not to take up more than 30 seconds before going around the loop
    # again
  }
}
?>
