Running multiple functions in php

Question

I need to run several functions at the same time. I had successfully implemented in C# by creating an ElapsedEventHandler and executing it when a timer gets elapsed. In this way I could run a number of functions at the same time (delegates). How can I do the same thing using php?

Answer 1

This is how you can imitate that:

   function runFuncs()
   {
     function1(); // run funciton1
     function2(); // run funciton2
     function3(); // run funciton3
     function4(); // run funciton4
     function5(); // run funciton5
   }

When you run runFuncs(); it runs all functions inside it.

Answer 2

just create an array where you put all the functions you wanna run, then loop the array and run the functions.

foreach($functions as $func)
{
    $func();
}

is that what you wanna do?

Answer 3

PHP does not have multi-threading. So you'd have to spawn another php process through CLI and run that script.

Answer 4

Something like this should work:

function foo() {
  echo "foo\n";
}

function bar() {
  echo "bar\n";
}

class multifunc {
 public $functions = array();
 function execute() {
  foreach ($this->functions as $function) $function();
 }
}

$test = new multifunc();
$test->functions[] = 'foo';
$test->functions[] = 'bar';
$test->execute();
