The Mutex component allows mutual execution of concurrent processes in order to prevent "race conditions".

This is achieved by using a "lock" mechanism. Each possibly concurrent thread cooperates by acquiring a lock before accessing the corresponding data.

Usage example:

if ($mutex->acquire($mutexName)) {
    // business logic execution
} else {
    // execution is blocked!
}

This is a base class, which should be extended in order to implement the actual lock mechanism.

Property Details

$autoRelease public property

Whether all locks acquired in this process (i.e. local locks) must be released automatically before finishing script execution. Defaults to true. Setting this property to true means that all locks acquired in this process must be released (regardless of errors or exceptions).

public boolean $autoRelease true

Method Details

acquire() public method

Acquires a lock by name.

public boolean acquire ( $name, $timeout 0 )
$name string

Of the lock to be acquired. Must be unique.

$timeout integer

Time (in seconds) to wait for lock to be released. Defaults to zero meaning that method will return false immediately in case lock was already acquired.

return boolean

Lock acquiring result.

acquireLock() protected abstract method

This method should be extended by a concrete Mutex implementations. Acquires lock by name.

protected abstract boolean acquireLock ( $name, $timeout 0 )
$name string

Of the lock to be acquired.

$timeout integer

Time (in seconds) to wait for the lock to be released.

return boolean

Acquiring result.

init() public method

Initializes the Mutex component.

public void init ( )
isAcquired() public method (available since version 2.0.36)

Checks if a lock is acquired by the current process.

Note that it returns false if the mutex is acquired in another process.

public boolean isAcquired ( $name )
$name string

Of the lock to check.

return boolean

Returns true if currently acquired.

release() public method

Releases acquired lock. This method will return false in case the lock was not found.

public boolean release ( $name )
$name string

Of the lock to be released. This lock must already exist.

return boolean

Lock release result: false in case named lock was not found..

releaseLock() protected abstract method

This method should be extended by a concrete Mutex implementations. Releases lock by given name.

protected abstract boolean releaseLock ( $name )
$name string

Of the lock to be released.

return boolean

Release result.
