#Tasks Simple way to manage delayed execution in PHP scripts
Build Status

##Where can it be used It can be used to execute delayed tasks - tasks, which takes long time to execute and result of their execution isn't necessary to generate output of requested script.
For example, it can be sending mail, or long database queries, or checking some info (IP whois data), delayed collaborating with remote API.

##How to use Tasks it's a base to build your task-handlers.
Task-handlers it's classes, which will store tasks (when called from script) and execute restored tasks (when called from cron-script).
See example of task-handler in MailDelayed.php

To execute tasks, \Tasks\Executor should be called, it's usual work for cron - see tasks_cron.php for example.

##Examples ###How to create Task-class See MailDelayed.php

###How to use Task-class

$taskStorage = new MemStorage(new \Jamm\Memory\RedisObject('tasks'));

##Requirements ###PHP version: 5.3+
