[INFO] Using arrays while multithreading

As you may know, pthreads will not work well with arrays as it can't store them properly and it tries to serialize them. I spent a while trying to figure out how to get a basic array working.

The below code just waits for messages and adds them to an ArrayObject which extends Stackable so it won't be serialized, so when you enter a message your console should be spammed repeatedly

PHP:

<?php
/*
__PocketMine Plugin__
name=threadExample
description=An Example!
version=0.1
author=Falk
class=threadExample
apiversion=11,12,13
*/
class threadExample implements Plugin {
  private $api;
  public function __construct(ServerAPI $api, $server = false){
    $this->api = $api;
  }
  public function init(){
    $this->msg = new Messages();
    $this->loop = new msgLoop($this->msg);
    $this->loop->start();
    $this->api->addHandler("player.chat", array($this,"addMessage"),50);
  }
  public function addMessage($data){
    $this->msg[] = $data['message'];
    var_dump($this->msg);
  }
  public function __destruct(){
    $this->loop->stop();
  }
}
class Messages extends Stackable{
   public function __construct() {}
  public function run(){}
}
class msgLoop extends Thread {
  public $t;
  public $msg;
  public function __construct(Messages $msg) {
    $this->t = array();
    $this->stop = false;
    $this->msg = $msg;
  }
  public function stop() {
    $this->stop = true;
  }
  public function run() {
    while ($this->stop === false) {
        if(count($this->msg)) var_dump($this->msg);
    }
    exit(0);
  }
}
