PCNTL_SIGNAL(3) 							 1							   PCNTL_SIGNAL(3)

pcntl_signal - Installs a signal handler

SYNOPSIS
bool pcntl_signal (int $signo, callable|int $handler, [bool $restart_syscalls = true]) DESCRIPTION
The pcntl_signal(3) function installs a new signal handler or replaces the current signal handler for the signal indicated by $signo. PARAMETERS
o $signo - The signal number. o $handler - The signal handler. This may be either a callable, which will be invoked to handle the signal, or either of the two global con- stants SIG_IGN or SIG_DFL, which will ignore the signal or restore the default signal handler respectively. If a callable is given, it must implement the following signature: void handler (int $signo) o $signo - The signal being handled. Note Note that when you set a handler to an object method, that object's reference count is increased which makes it persist until you either change the handler to something else, or your script ends. o $restart_syscalls - Specifies whether system call restarting should be used when this signal arrives. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. CHANGELOG
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+ |Version | | | | | | | Description | | | | +--------+---------------------------------------------------+ | 4.3.0 | | | | | | | As of PHP 4.3.0 PCNTL uses ticks as the signal | | | handle callback mechanism, which is much faster | | | than the previous mechanism. This change follows | | | the same semantics as using "user ticks". You | | | must use the declare() statement to specify the | | | locations in your program where callbacks are | | | allowed to occur for the signal handler to func- | | | tion properly (as used in the example below). | | | | +--------+---------------------------------------------------+ EXAMPLES
Example #1 pcntl_signal(3) example <?php // tick use required as of PHP 4.3.0 declare(ticks = 1); // signal handler function function sig_handler($signo) { switch ($signo) { case SIGTERM: // handle shutdown tasks exit; break; case SIGHUP: // handle restart tasks break; case SIGUSR1: echo "Caught SIGUSR1... "; break; default: // handle all other signals } } echo "Installing signal handler... "; // setup signal handlers pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, "sig_handler"); pcntl_signal(SIGHUP, "sig_handler"); pcntl_signal(SIGUSR1, "sig_handler"); // or use an object, available as of PHP 4.3.0 // pcntl_signal(SIGUSR1, array($obj, "do_something")); echo"Generating signal SIGUSR1 to self... "; // send SIGUSR1 to current process id // posix_* functions require the posix extension posix_kill(posix_getpid(), SIGUSR1); echo "Done "; ?> NOTES
pcntl_signal(3) doesn't stack the signal handlers, but replaces them. SEE ALSO
