# amphp/process
AMPHP is a collection of event-driven libraries for PHP designed with fibers and concurrency in mind.
`amphp/process` provides an asynchronous process dispatcher that works on all major platforms (including Windows).
It makes running child processes simple.
As Windows pipes are file handles and do not allow non-blocking access, this package makes use of a [process wrapper](https://github.com/amphp/windows-process-wrapper), that provides access to these pipes via sockets.
On Unix-like systems it uses the standard pipes, as these can be accessed without blocking there.
Concurrency is managed by the [Revolt](https://revolt.run/) event loop.

## Installation
This package can be installed as a [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) dependency.
```
composer require amphp/process
```
The package requires PHP 8.1 or later.
## Usage
Processes are started with `Process::start()`:
```php
<?php
require __DIR__ . "/vendor/autoload.php";
use Amp\ByteStream;
use Amp\Process\Process;
// "echo" is a shell internal command on Windows and doesn't work.
$command = DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR === "\\" ? "cmd /c echo Hello World!" : "echo 'Hello, world!'";
$process = Process::start($command);
Amp\async(fn () => Amp\ByteStream\pipe($process->getStdout(), ByteStream\getStdout()));
Amp\async(fn () => Amp\ByteStream\pipe($process->getStderr(), ByteStream\getStderr()));
$exitCode = $process->join();
echo "Process exited with {$exitCode}.\n";
```
### Custom Working Directory
Processes are started with the working directory of the current process by default.
The working directory can be customized to another directory if needed:
```php
$process = Amp\Process\Process::start($command, workingDirectory: '/path/of/your/dreams');
```
### Custom Environment Variables
Processes are started with the environment variables of the current process by default.
The environment can be customized by passing an associative array mapping variables names to their values:
```php
$process = Amp\Process\Process::start($command, environment: [
'PATH' => '/usr/bin/local'
]);
```
