PHP 7.0.6 Released

win32_create_service

(PECL win32service SVN)

win32_create_serviceCreates a new service entry in the SCM database

Description

mixed win32_create_service ( array $details [, string $machine ] )

Parameters

details

An array of service details:

service

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 base_priority can be set to one of the constants define in Win32 Base Priority Classes.

machine

The optional machine name on which you want to create a service. If omitted, it will use the local machine.

Return Values

Returns WIN32_NO_ERROR on success, FALSE if there is a problem with the parameters or a Win32 Error Code on failure.

Examples

Example #1 A win32_create_service() example

Create a service with the short name 'dummyphp'.

<?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);
?>

Other start_type values:

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).
