PHP与Golang之间的通信

Question

I would like to start to use golang. To do that, I gave me a little project. I already have a website (classical php, mysql, css, html).

I would like to export some traitment to a golang script. (like calculate Pi.).

Actually, when I click on a button, a PHP algo do the job. Is there a best practice to use php and golang.

I was thinking about socket. (server golang, client php) or a database. But it will be result with a lot a SQL requests.

I hope you will help me,

Thanks

Answer 1

The best solution is to use the socket. Any other "patterns" would use a socket. For example you can use to interact ZMQ processes. ZMQ will give you access to the low level sockets at a high (socket on steroids).

Using the database - will not be considered as an asynchronous solution, but it can also be used.... It should be based on the available resources and tasks.

ZMQ PHP binding

ZMQ Go Binding

P.S. I had an experience combining php + Erlang. So my solution - universally.
