[Feature] Use almost any PHP fw or app with Workerman

[joanhey]

Hi Walkor,

I was using a lib internally for more than 2 years, for my legacy apps to run with Workerman v3.5.
https://github.com/joanhey/AdapterMan

This week I tested with frameworks, and It's working perfectly, without touch 1 line of code in the fw or app.

We only need an small change to the Front Controller and PHP 8 as minimum.

Tested with:

• Symfony
• Laravel
• Yii2
• Slim
• KumbiaPHP
• ...

Now I'm creating PRs in the Techempower benchmark.
TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks#7627
TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks#7626
Later I will push Slim and more fws.

I think that this lib will be useful for more people.

If time permits, I'll try to add documentation and upgrade to Workerman v4

[walkor]

It looks amazing.
I thought it was impossible to finish the work, but you solved it easily.
Thank you so much for your efforts.
👍

[joanhey]

Still fixing small details with the session.

The blog work without any problem.
Only the admin area, have small problems with the sessions.

Symfony demo with Workerman, an user authenticated :

[joanhey]

Laravel Orchid admin panel with Workerman, with Laravel the login is working

Drupal with Workerman, but still fail the login with symfony.

[joanhey]

Laravel and Symfony login working !!!

[walkor]

That great ! 👍

[joanhey]

Now I'll create a docker with the symfony-demo.
In port 8080 with Workerman and in 8081 with php-fpm.

[joanhey]

Symfony initialization 0ms. And half time per request, once loaded the first time.

The first results from the bench
Without touch a line of code and full ORM.

In 2 days Symfony.
The next week:
Laravel 9, Lumen 9, Cakephp and Slim.

[walkor]

Very good. It seems that the performance improvement is significant. 👍

[joanhey]

Yes, it's very significant.
And here the results are bad, for using the very slow Laravel ORM.

The next week, we will see the Slim with raw db and optimized db for workerman.

[joanhey]

I don't know any PHP ORM optimised for persistent apps.

[joanhey]

The latency is really good !!

And later, we will check the memory used.
Kumbiaphp use half the memory using Workerman.
We will have better numbers with other fws.

[joanhey]

Symfony 6

700% faster in the Fortunes

:)

[joanhey]

With CakePHP we have worst results with Workerman. :(
I'll investigate if it's an error or directly a problem with CakePHP

[joanhey]

I think that I found the problem, It's related to Cakephp.
Changes passed, and in 7 days we have the new results.
TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks#7680

Looking the cakephp bootstrap, it check if is CLI SAPI, and load a cli bootstrap.

[joanhey]

Laravel 9 have the same numbers than version 8.

Lumen 9

Fw	Plaintext	Json	Single query	Multiple query	Updates	Fortunes
Lumen	18,998	18,616	10,791	3,496	1,461	9,223

Lumen Laravel s	93,335	82,745	31,567	3,030	1,282	21,130
Lumen Workerman	185,126	177,667	58,729	5,857	1,662	31,430

Very similar numbers to Laravel.

• Without ORM and db class optimized for Workerman

[joanhey]

CakePHP still slower.
Asking for help in the Cakephp slack.

[joanhey]

I'm updating all fw to php 8.2, in the bencmark.

But Workerman 3.5 have problems with dynamic properties.

And fail in some frameworks.

Can we move it from 3.5 to v4, as another protocol ?
So we also could optimize it for php 7.

[joanhey]

In the mean time, you or me can add
#[\AllowDynamicProperties]
To the Worker class and Connection interface.

Done

[joanhey]

Walkor, open a twitter for Workerman (and Webman).

[walkor]

Hi joanhey, here are the twitter accounts.

[joanhey]

Lumen v9
600% faster

[joanhey]

Workerman without worker mode, including the .php file in each request, from the plain php benchmark.

Using your exec_php_file()

function exec_php_file($file)
{
    ob_start();
    // Try to include php file.
    try {
        include $file;
    } catch (\Exception $e) {
        echo $e;
    }
    return ob_get_clean();
}

I need to change the catch Exception to catch Throwable.

TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks#7798

[joanhey]

Bench in my local PC, with the json.php test without worker mode.
With 100 concurrent connections.

[yangguangwuwu]

Great solution

[euii]

Looks like an interesting solution and I'm very interested in trying it out.

[joanhey]

Shared Nothing mode, like with PHP-FPM.
Using the same .php files.

Framework	JSON	1-query	Multiple queries	Fortunes	Updates	Plaintext
php php-fpm	187,747	97,658	12,784	79,309	2,010	195,283

We need to add the protocol to Workerman v4.2 and/or 5

So we can work together with the new session, add more adapters and functionalities.

The problem is: the name of the protocol ?
phphttp, php, phpruntime(not recommended), ....

[joanhey]

The new session still use a random GC, that affect the performance of n requests.
We need to change it, to use a Timer to clean the expired sessions. Like do debian/ubuntu.
They use by default session.gc_probability=0, and use a cron or a systemd.timer to run phpcleansession

We need to add the protocol to Workerman v4.2 and/or 5

which protocol?

[joanhey]

The new Http protocol from v4, it's using Request and Response classes.
Never populate or read the Super Globals Variables from PHP ($_GET, $_POST, $_SESSION, ...), necessary to use with any php app.
I can try to do it with these classes, but I think it's easier to have a new protocol like the Http from v3.
We can start with the same in v3, to improve it later. Starting by reusing the new SessionHandler class.

I have a very serious problem with the token of larravel in use. My logins in other places are consistent, which means that the token will not change, and my authentication session authentication will not be secure

[493226876]

After using the worker man acceleration task larravel project, I can directly log in to other computers after logging in to one computer, such as the session global sharing. What should I do

[joanhey]

@493226876 please use the adapterman issues

[walkor]

@joanhey

Workerman removed the super global variables filling since 4.0 because the super global variables cannot be used in asynchronous environment and co scheduling environment.

It is easy to fill in super global variables in version 4.0 which codes like below.

$worker->onMessage = function($connection, $request){
    $_GET = $request->get();
    $_POST = $request->post();
    $_SESSION = $request->session()->all();
    $connection->send(run());
};

Workerman should not have two similar http protocols, which will confuse developers.
Except AdapterMan, other workerman projects do not need super global variables, so it is unwise to add an another similar http protocol to the workerman. I prefer that AdapterMan is compatible with the http protocol of workerman 4.0, or AdapterMan uses its own http protocol.

[493226876]

How to use it? I log in to sesssionID on different computers all the time

[493226876]

The sesssionID printed by my browser refreshed in different environments frequently appears the same as that of other networks

[joanhey]

@493226876 Please use the issues in Adapterman

Precisely the problem is that Laravel is the only fw, that don't use the $_SESSION.
We are talking with Laravel devs, to clean the session in each request, but from the Laravel side, it's not a problem from Adapterman or Workerman. But we will release the solution.
This week I'll try it with the Shared Nothing mode, that for sure will work, but the performance will be in the middle of php-fpm and worker mode.

[493226876]

OK, thank you for telling me. I always thought that it was a problem where I set up the session. The session has always been repeated. It was originally a mechanism problem. If you have any trouble, please let me know. Thank you Message ID: ***@***.***>

[joanhey]

Please use the isssues in Adapterman.
And I'll talk with you, not here.

[493226876]

Ok, I will follow your latest news, look forward to the new release, and worship the boss!

[lizhichao]

This is powerful, simple and easy to use

[493226876]

@joanhey Hello, is the Shared Nothing mode available

[joanhey]

No, and still not working like Shared Nothing for now.

[joanhey]

Release v0.6
Use Workerman v4.1.x and recipe for ThinkPHP.

Still we need a Laravel dev, to help with close the session when finish each request. (Laravel don't use $_SESSION)

[493226876]

Boss, do you mean that Laraver still hasn't solved the problem of closing the session every time a request is made 寻找¤真爱 ***@***.***

Laraver still hasn't solved the problem of closing the session every time a request is made

@493226876 There is a tryGcSessions, and here is an example from AdapterMan. You can try to modify your own start.php.

And the most important thing, YOU SHOULD USE ADAPTERMAN ISSUES to ask/discuss this.
你应该在ADAPTERMAN ISSUES咨询/讨论相关的问题

Still we need a Laravel dev, to help with close the session when finish each request. (Laravel don't use $_SESSION)

@joanhey , I just commented on this several days ago (joanhey/AdapterMan#5 (comment)), actually laravel do have a way to clean up after each request, with the help of Laravel Octane.

Trying now with Codeigniter4

@joanhey Is it working with Codeigniter 4?

[joanhey]

Added a PR to php-src #16145

With this change Adapterman (and other frameworks) will work without to disable the functions in the .ini, and later rewrite them in php.
Also it'll be useful for php tests.
