PHP : Function Reference : win32service Functions : win32_start_service_ctrl_dispatcher

win32_start_service_ctrl_dispatcher

Registers the script with the SCM, so that it can act as the service with the given name ()
mixed win32_start_service_ctrl_dispatcher ( string name )

When launched via the Service Control Manager, a service process is required to "check-in" with it to establish service monitoring and communication facilities. This function performs the check-in by spawning a thread to handle the lower-level communication with the service control manager.

Once started, the service process should continue to check-in with the service control manager so that it can determine if it should terminate. This is achieved by periodically calling win32_get_last_control_message() and handling the return code appropriately.

Parameters

name

The short-name of the service, as registered by win32_create_service().

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success, otherwise FALSE or a win32 error code.

}

while (

# do some work here, trying not to take more than around 30 seconds
 # before coming back into the loop again
}

Code Examples / Notes » win32_start_service_ctrl_dispatcher

Don't try to call "win32_start_service_ctrl_dispatcher" too late in your code. You'd trigger a #2186 error : "The service is not responding to the control function." (from commande line) or a #1053 error : "The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." (from services GUI).
Try not to load a bunch of PEAR classes before to register php script as Service like I did.
Another good hint, to get a verbose version of the return code, you can call "NET HELPMSG ###" from command line where ### is your error code.
