Activities

Activity Definitions, Activity Execution, Activity Timeouts, and Asynchronous Activity Completion in the Temporal PHP SDK.

Activity basics

Implement an Activity behind a PHP interface, define its parameters and return values, and set a custom name for the Activity Type.

Activity Execution

Call an Activity from a PHP Workflow through a stub created with newActivityStub, set the required Timeout, and get the Activity result.

Activity Timeouts

Set the Schedule-To-Close, Start-To-Close, and Heartbeat Timeouts on a PHP Activity, tune its Retry Policy, and override the next retry delay.

Asynchronous Activity Completion

Perform Asynchronous Activity Completion in Temporal, enabling Activities to return without execution completion and facilitating parallel operations in Workflows.

Best practices

This section explains how to implement best practices with the PHP SDK

Cancel a Workflow

Cancel a PHP Activity from a Workflow using Heartbeats and a Heartbeat Timeout, and reset a Workflow Execution from its Event History.

Child Workflows

Start a Child Workflow Execution in PHP, configure ChildWorkflowOptions, set a Parent Close Policy, and call children asynchronously with promises.

Client

Connect a Temporal Client, start Workflow Executions, and get Workflow results with the Temporal PHP SDK.

Continue-As-New

Use Temporal's Continue-As-New in PHP to manage large Event Histories by atomically creating new Workflow Executions with the same Workflow Id and fresh parameters.

Debugging

Effectively debug your Workflow in both development and production environments using Web UI, Temporal CLI, and performance metrics for optimal Worker and Server performance.

Observability

Explore the Temporal Developer’s guide on observability to learn about Visibility APIs and Search Attributes, helping you manage Workflow Executions efficiently.

PHP SDK developer guide

Explore Temporal PHP SDK guides to master features for Temporal Applications. Learn Workflows, Activities, Testing, Failure Detection, Messages, Observability, and more.

Platform

This section explains how to implement platform with the PHP SDK

Run a Worker

Shows how to run Worker processes with the PHP SDK

Schedules

Use Workflow Start Delay and Temporal Cron Jobs in PHP. Delay Workflow execution or set up recurring tasks with a Cron Schedule using Temporal Client.

Side Effects

Use Side Effects in PHP to execute non-deterministic code like generating UUIDs or random numbers in a Workflow without compromising its determinism.

Temporal Client

Connect to a development Temporal Service or Temporal Cloud from PHP, start Workflow Executions, and configure RPC retries and timeouts.

Testing

The Temporal Application Testing section explains frameworks for Workflow and integration testing, including end-to-end, integration, unit tests, and how to mock Activities in a PHP environment.

Timers

Set a durable Timer in PHP with Workflow::timer(). Timers persist across Worker downtime, and a single Worker can run millions of them.

Versioning

Ensure deterministic Temporal Workflow execution and deploy updates with the PHP SDK's patching and Worker Versioning APIs.

Workers

This section explains how to implement Workers with the PHP SDK

Workflow message passing

Develop with Signals, Queries, and Updates in Temporal Workflows. Define, handle, and send Signals or Queries, and validate updates from a Temporal Client.

Workflow Timeouts

Optimize Workflow Execution with Temporal PHP SDK - Set Workflow Timeouts and Retry Policies efficiently.

Workflows

This section explains how to implement Workflows with the PHP SDK
