I'm interested in using a Gearman server to distribute long-running jobs in my PHP application. Unfortunately I don't have direct access to my application servers and I can't install any PECL extensions.
Is there a pure PHP client library out there I can use?
Have you tried the obvious?
Net_Gearman (PHP)
A pure PHP API that can be found as Net_Gearman on PEAR.
