Wait for TCP connections to services with a timeout. Useful when waiting for services on Docker containers that take a while to start such as MySQL.
Require this library as a development dependency for your project:
composer require --dev xwp/wait-for
Use it in your project to wait for a TCP response from localhost:3306:
// Include the Composer autoloader.
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
$connection = new XWP\Wait_For\Tcp_Connection( 'localhost', 3306 );
try {
$connection->connect( 30 );
} catch ( Exception $e ) {
trigger_error( $e->getMessage(), E_USER_ERROR );
}where locahost is the hostname, 3306 is the port number and 30 is the timeout in seconds.
- Use PHP exceptions on connection errors to ensure that applications relying on process return codes are made aware of the connection error.
Use the included helpers to create your own waiting logic:
use XWP\Wait_For\With_Retry;
$runner = new With_Retry(
function() {
// Do something here.
return false;
}
);
if ( ! $runner->run( 10 ) ) {
trigger_error( 'Failed to connect!' );
}
