# PHP Fork Daemon
A library to make setup and management of forking daemons in PHP easy.

## Features
-   Easy management of PHP forks
-   Return result of children by callback or polling parent for results
-   Splitting work units into buckets
-   Preforking callbacks to manage resources before forking
-   Dynamic setting of number of children / work per child

## Usage
Check out the examples in the examples directory
``php example/blocking.php``

## Caveats
-	You need to specify ``declare(ticks=1);`` before inclusion of the fork-daemon library, otherwise signals wont be handled. This *must* be done in the main PHP file, as ``declare(ticks=N);`` only works for the file in which it is declared and the files which that file includes.
