The short name of the service. This is the name that you
will use to control the service using the net
command. The service must be unique (no two services can share the
same name), and, ideally, should avoid having spaces in the name.
display
The display name of the service. This is the name that you
will see in the Services Applet.
description
The long description of the service. This is the description
that you will see in the Services Applet.
user
The name of the user account under which you want the service to
run. If omitted, the service will run as the LocalSystem account.
If the username is specified, you must also provide a password.
password
The password that corresponds to the user.
path
The full path to the executable module that will be launched when
the service is started. If omitted, the path to the current PHP
process will be used.
params
Command line parameters to pass to the service when it starts.
If you want to run a PHP script as the service, then the first
parameter should be the full path to the PHP script that you intend
to run. If the script name or path contains spaces, then wrap the
full path to the PHP script with ".
load_order
Controls the load_order. This is not yet fully supported.
svc_type
Sets the service type. If omitted, the default value is
WIN32_SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS.
Don't change this unless you know what you're doing.
start_type
Specifies how the service should be started. The default is
WIN32_SERVICE_AUTO_START which means the
service will be launched when the machine starts up.
error_control
Informs the SCM what it should do when it detects a problem with
the service. The default is
WIN32_SERVER_ERROR_IGNORE. Changing this
value is not yet fully supported.
delayed_start
If delayed_start is set to true, then this
will inform the SCM that this service should be started after other
auto-start services are started plus a short delay.
Any service can be marked as a delayed auto-start service; however,
this setting has no effect unless the service's
start_type is
WIN32_SERVICE_AUTO_START.
This setting is only applicable on Windows Vista and Windows Server
2008 or greater.
base_priority
To reduce the impact on processor utilisation, it may be necessary
to set a base priority lower than normal.
The return type is now void, previously it was mixed.
PECL win32service 0.4.0
The dependencies, recovery_delay,
recovery_action_1, recovery_action_2,
recovery_action_3, recovery_reset_period,
recovery_enabled, recovery_reboot_msg
and recovery_command parameters have been added.
<?php $x = win32_create_service(array( 'service' => 'dummyphp', // the name of your service 'display' => 'sample dummy PHP service', // short description 'description' => 'This is a dummy Windows service created using PHP.', // long description 'params' => '"' . __FILE__ . '" run', // path to the script and parameters )); debug_zval_dump($x); ?>
Example #2 A win32_create_service() example with dependencies
Create a service with the short name 'dummyphp' and dependencies.
<?php $x = win32_create_service(array( 'service' => 'dummyphp', // the name of your service 'display' => 'sample dummy PHP service', // short description 'description' => 'This is a dummy Windows service created using PHP.', // long description 'params' => '"' . __FILE__ . '" run', // path to the script and parameters 'dependencies' => array("Netman"), // The list of the dependencies )); debug_zval_dump($x); ?>
Example #3 A win32_create_service() example with recovery
Create a service with the short name 'dummyphp' and recovery settings.
<?php $x = win32_create_service(array( 'service' => 'dummyphp', // the name of your service 'display' => 'sample dummy PHP service', // short description 'description' => 'This is a dummy Windows service created using PHP.', // long description 'params' => '"' . __FILE__ . '" run', // path to the script and parameters 'recovery_delay' => 120000, // Recovery action is executed after 2 minutes 'recovery_action_1' => WIN32_SC_ACTION_RESTART, // On first failure, restart the service 'recovery_action_2' => WIN32_SC_ACTION_RUN_COMMAND, // On second failure, execute the commmand 'recovery_action_3' => WIN32_SC_ACTION_NONE, // On other failure, do nothing 'recovery_reset_period' => 86400, // Reset the fail counter after 1 day 'recovery_enabled' => true, // Enable the recovery parameter 'recovery_reboot_msg' => null, // Do not define a reboot message, it's not needed here 'recovery_command' => "c:\clean-service.bat", // When the action is WIN32_SC_ACTION_RUN_COMMAND, execute this command )); debug_zval_dump($x); ?>
0x00000002: A service started automatically by the service control manager during system startup. For more information, see Automatically Starting Services.
0x00000000: A device driver started by the system loader. This value is valid only for driver services.
0x00000003: A service started by the service control manager when a process calls the win32_start_service() function.
0x00000004: A service that cannot be started. Attempts to start the service result in the error code
0x00000001: A device driver started by the IoInitSystem function. This value is valid only for driver services.
I can confirm that 0x00000003 works as expected (service is created, but must be started manually).
