PHPWebThread

The PHPWebThread class is very simple: Just load the file, create a instance of it passing as a argument a function with the part you want to load and start it! At the end of script, just call the static method PHPWebThread::printScripts(); and you have the parts specified loading asyncronously in every browser with support to HTML 5.

This is similar to BigPipe, just renamed and programated to allow more simplicity in the use.

The class have some requeriments:

DOM extension - native in very much implementations of PHP
Support to Sessions - to allow the class to localizate the file in which the functions is localizated

Is possible (i think) to adjust the Nginx configuration file to allow the use of this file too. But, it not the high priority now. Some priorities is localizated in below:

TODO

Now, the class has good support to use. But, has some things to do:

Organizate the class
Documentate it (The class have a poor documentation, but we can change it!)
Optimizate the Javascript file (with use of Ajax to load the Javascript/CSS files and other things)
Remove the internal dependency of LazyLoad loader
And what your imagination can do! :D

Install

To use the class, we recommend to alter the RewriteBase directive in the .htaccess. Just a tip. :P

About timeout and no Javascript support

The class has a default timeout of 10 seconds to load a PHPWebThread. After this time, the class automatically redirects to a No Javascript version of the page that uses the class.

The No Javascript version just call the PHPWebThreads sequentially, and can be activated with the GET parameter ?phpwebthread_deactivate=1.

Is possible, too, to echo a element with the id "phpwebthread_fallbackmsg", with a link to the no javascript version. This element is automatically hided at the first load of a PHPWebThread.

Example of use

The class is very much simple to use. Just look at the example below:

<?php
  require("PHPWebThread.php");
?>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Test</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <?php
      function example(){
        echo "Hello! This is just a example"; // Just echo it, simple..
      }
      $thread = new PHPWebThread("example"); // Construct the class
      $thread->start(); // And start it
      PHPWebThread::printScripts(); // Oh, and echo the code to load the PHPWebThread.js file! (it's really needed)
    ?>
  </body>
</html>

Support

If you like this script, just start it! If you encountered a bug, just post a issue in this repository..Simple, huh?

License

Oh, this class is licensed with the MIT license. And uses the code from the LazyLoad loader to load CSS and JS files required by the PHPWebThreads with callbacks.
