// set something up
$fileHandle = fopen($fileName, 'a');
while($continue == true){
//Do something
fwrite($fileHandle, yield . "\n");

Danack / composerRunner.php
Created June 21, 2013 22:44
Composer Runner - calls composer update from a PHP script. Not recommended practice at all but may be necessary for people using web servers where they don't have shell access.
//<?php
//
//Yes you can run Composer with a little PHP wrapper. All of the Composer source code is available in the Phar file, so it can be extracted and then you can run it after setting up an InputInterface to replace Composer expecting the commands to be passed in via the command line.
//
//If you setup your directory structure like this:
//
//./project
//./project/composer.json
//./project/composer.lock
//./project/webroot/composerExtractor.php

Example of session behaviour. Default PHP locks the session object so that only one process can modify it at once, i.e. the numbers in the two frames will always be different. In APCu PS they can be duplicated.
