pcntl_signal

(PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

pcntl_signalInstalls a signal handler

Description

pcntl_signal(int $signal, callable|int $handler, bool $restart_syscalls = true): bool

The pcntl_signal() function installs a new signal handler or replaces the current signal handler for the signal indicated by signal.

Parameters

signal

The signal number.

handler

The signal handler. This may be either a callable, which will be invoked to handle the signal, or either of the two global constants 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:

handler(int $signo, mixed $siginfo): void
signal
The signal being handled.
siginfo
If operating systems supports siginfo_t structures, this will be an array of signal information dependent on the signal.

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.

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
7.1.0 As of PHP 7.1.0 the handler callback is given a second argument containing the siginfo of the specific signal. This data is only supplied if the operating system has the siginfo_t structure. If the OS does not implement siginfo_t NULL is supplied.

Examples

Example #1 pcntl_signal() example

<?php
// tick use required
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...\n";
             break;
         default:
             
// handle all other signals
     
}

}

echo 
"Installing signal handler...\n";

// setup signal handlers
pcntl_signal(SIGTERM"sig_handler");
pcntl_signal(SIGHUP,  "sig_handler");
pcntl_signal(SIGUSR1"sig_handler");

// or use an object
// pcntl_signal(SIGUSR1, array($obj, "do_something"));

echo"Generating signal SIGUSR1 to self...\n";

// send SIGUSR1 to current process id
// posix_* functions require the posix extension
posix_kill(posix_getpid(), SIGUSR1);

echo 
"Done\n";

?>

Notes

pcntl_signal() doesn't stack the signal handlers, but replaces them.
