phpfastcgi/silex-adapter

An adapter to integrate PHPFastCGI with the Silex micro-framework

PHPFastCGI Silex Adapter

, _(*1)

A PHP package which allows Silex applications to reduce overheads by exposing their Request-Response structure to a FastCGI daemon., _(*2)

Visit the project website., _(*3)

Introduction

Using this adapter, Silex applications can stay alive between HTTP requests whilst operating behind the protection of a FastCGI enabled web server., _(*4)

Current Status

This project is currently in early stages of development and not considered stable. Importantly, this library currently lacks support for uploaded files., _(*5)

Contributions and suggestions are welcome., _(*6)

Installing

composer require "phpfastcgi/silex-adapter:^0.5"

Usage

<?php // web/command.php

// Include the composer autoloader
require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

use PHPFastCGI\FastCGIDaemon\ApplicationFactory;
use PHPFastCGI\Adapter\Silex\ApplicationWrapper;
use Silex\Application;

// Create your Silex application
$app = new Application;
$app->get('/hello/{name}', function ($name) use ($app) {
    return 'Hello ' . $app->escape($name);
});

// Create the kernel for the FastCGIDaemon library (from the Silex application)
$kernel = new ApplicationWrapper($app);

// Create the symfony console application
$consoleApplication = (new ApplicationFactory)->createApplication($kernel);

// Run the symfony console application
$consoleApplication->run();

If you wish to configure your FastCGI application to work with the apache web server, you can use the apache FastCGI module to process manage your application., _(*7)

This can be done by creating a FastCGI script that launches your application and inserting a FastCgiServer directive into your virtual host configuration., _(*8)

#!/bin/bash
php /path/to/silex/web/command.php run

FastCgiServer /path/to/silex/web/script.fcgi

By default, the daemon will listen on FCGI_LISTENSOCK_FILENO, but it can also be configured to listen on a TCP address. For example:, _(*9)

php /path/to/command.php run --port=5000 --host=localhost

If you are using a web server such as NGINX, you will need to use a process manager to monitor and run your application., _(*10)
