One of the more popular programming topics over the last few years has been the idea of “async programming.” Async programming is touted as a way to speed up applications by avoiding issues that normally stall a program. When an application hits an operation that prohibits anything else from happening, this is called a “blocking […]

2021 has been a turbulent year for the world and the PHP Community. We have seen change in many PHP related circles, from podcasts and this magazine to the very core of PHP itself. This issue tries to bring some of this into view while trying to help us focus.

Demin Yin, evangelist for Swoole, joins Eric Van Johnson and John Congdon to talk about the project and more. Topics Covered Writing event-driven, non-blocking PHP applications. Supporting for asynchronous programming and concurrent processes. Performance of Swoole for handling millions of requests. Taking advantage of extensions to add new features or improve performance. Integrations with PHP […]

While we think of our scripts running for one request at a time, PHP web applications handle multiple, simultaneous requests at a time. In this issue, we look at asynchronous programming using Swoole, handling serverless file uploads, implementing security headers, dealing with race conditions, and more.

Swoole PHP is a coroutine based asynchronous network application framework. It is a PHP extension that extends PHP core and utilizes more power provided by Linux OS. Unlike the callback style single thread asynchronous I/O provided by the other networking libraries like Node.js, Swoole PHP has multiple asynchronous I/O threads and native coroutines to manage […]

In recent years, more and more PHP developers are interested in asynchronous frameworks, like Swoole. However, Swoole brings more than asynchronous programming to PHP; there are a few mind-blowing features in Swoole that many developers are not yet aware of. This article discusses how to use Swoole to build an application server to serve web […]
