Unlock PHP’s Full Potential with Workerman’s High‑Performance Server Framework

Overview

Workerman is an open‑source high‑performance PHP application container.

It is not an MVC framework but a low‑level, generic service framework that can be used to build TCP proxies, ladder proxies, game servers, mail servers, FTP servers, and even PHP implementations of Redis, databases, Nginx, php‑fpm, etc., freeing PHP from the web‑only limitation.

Workerman works like a PHP version of Nginx: multi‑process + epoll + non‑blocking I/O. Each process can maintain tens of thousands of concurrent connections. Because it runs in memory without Apache, Nginx or php‑fpm, it delivers extremely high performance and supports TCP, UDP, UNIX‑SOCKET, long‑connections, WebSocket, HTTP, WSS, HTTPS and custom protocols, plus timers, async socket client, async Redis, async HTTP, async message queue and many other high‑performance components.

Update Log

Timer support: Timer::delay() and Timer::repeat() Request API enhancements: $request->setGet() / $request->setPost() / $request->setHeaders() WebSocket permessage‑deflate support

Implemented WebSocket connection callbacks

Fixed: all coroutines must be cancelled before Event::exit Fixed cookie parsing; replaced parse_str with URL‑encoded handling
