GearmanClient::addTaskBackground — Add a background task to be run in parallel
$function_name
, string $workload
[, mixed &$context
[, string $unique
]] )Adds a background task to be run in parallel with other tasks. Call this method for all the tasks to be run in parallel, then call GearmanClient::runTasks() to perform the work.
function_nameLa funzione che il worker deve eseguire
workloadI dati serializzati da processare
contextContesto applicativo da associare con un task
uniqueUn ID unico che identifica un particolare task
A GearmanTask object or FALSE if the task could not be added.
Example #1 Two tasks, one background and one not
This example illustrates the difference between running a background task and a normal task. The client adds two tasks to execute the same function, but one is added with addTaskBackground(). A callback is set so that progress of the job can be tracked. A simple worker with an artificial delay reports on the job progress and the client picks this up through the callback. Two workers are run for this example. Note that the background task does not show in the client output.
<?php

# create our gearman client

# add the default job server
$gmc->addServer();
# set a couple of callbacks so we can track progress
$gmc->setCompleteCallback("reverse_complete");
$gmc->setStatusCallback("reverse_status");
# add a task for the "reverse" function
$task= $gmc->addTask("reverse", "Hello World!", null, "1");
# add another task, but this one to run in the background
$task= $gmc->addTaskBackground("reverse", "!dlroW olleH", null, "2");

echo "ERROR " . $gmc->error() . "\n";
