h1. Gearman

This project allows for leveraging gearman workers much like a controller in Zend Framework. Included in the source code is a quick start that should help you get going quickly.

h2. Quick Example of a Gearman_Worker

This code belongs in application/workers and named DemoWorker.php with the class name being DemoWorker.

Sorry about the formatting, textile in GitHub really does not like whitespace in the pre-code blocks.

    class DemoWorker extends Gearman_Worker
    {
        protected $_registerFunction = 'demowork';
        protected $_timeout = 10000; // 10 seconds
        protected $_memory = 10; // 10 MB
        protected function init()
        {
            // if you were to bootstrap something...
            // you would use:
            // $this->_bootstrap->bootstrap('name');
            // if you are going to utilize a class for each
            // worker, you would initialize it here as well.
        }
        protected function timeout()
        {
            // this function will be called whenever the
            // timeout limit has been reached.  this means
            // that there has been no jobs worked on for this
            // particular amount of time.  this is extremely
            // useful for database connections that do not
            // automatically restart.
        }
        protected function shutdown()
        {
            // if you have any open connections
            // these should be closed down here.
            // otherwise you can also destruct any
            // other objects you might have.
        }
        protected function _work()
        {
            $workload = $this->getWorkload();
            echo 'The workload is: ' . $workload;
        }
    }
