Sometimes you need to bootstrap a Yii application manually and invoke one of its console actions from a standalone script.
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/yiisoft/yii2/Yii.php';
$config = require __DIR__ . '/config/console.php';
$application = new yii\console\Application($config);
$application->runAction('app/process-spreadsheet');
Passing parameters to the action:
$application->runAction('app/process-spreadsheet', ['test']);
Running actions in parallel threads
With the pthreads extension each thread bootstraps its own application instance, because the framework state is not shared between threads:
class SpreadsheetThread extends Thread
{
private $spreadsheet_id;
public function __construct($spreadsheet_id)
{
$this->spreadsheet_id = $spreadsheet_id;
}
public function run()
{
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/yiisoft/yii2/Yii.php';
$config = require __DIR__ . '/config/console.php';
$application = new yii\console\Application($config);
$application->runAction('app/process-spreadsheet', [$this->spreadsheet_id]);
}
}
$thread_1 = new SpreadsheetThread(1);
$thread_2 = new SpreadsheetThread(2);
$thread_1->start();
$thread_2->start();
pthreads requires a ZTS build of PHP — see the PHP notes on multithreading for the installation details and alternatives (PCNTL, daemons).
