Any Gearman tutorial?

Question

I am looking for a comprehensive Gearman tutorial (preferably with the PHP API). I am trying to understand the flow of the process. I set the daemon running, create clients and workers, but how do I handle them with Gearman (like add/remove workers etc.)?

From a quick Google search:

Answer 2

For managing workers with PHP, I suggest my GearmanManager. Used by lots of people. https://github.com/brianlmoon/GearmanManager/
