Multiple futures can be combined into a single future using different functions.
## `all()`
`Amp\Promise\all()` combines an array of promise objects into a single promise that will resolve when all promises in
the group resolve. If any one of the `Amp\Promise` instances fails the combinator's `Promise` will fail. Otherwise the
resulting `Promise` succeeds with an array matching keys from the input array to their resolved values.
The `all()` combinator is extremely powerful because it allows us to concurrently execute many asynchronous operations
at the same time. Let's look at a simple example using the Amp HTTP client
([Artax](https://github.com/amphp/artax)) to retrieve multiple HTTP resources concurrently:
```php
<?php
use Amp\Loop;
use Amp\Promise;
Loop::run(function () {
$httpClient = new Amp\Artax\DefaultClient;
$uris = [
"google" => "http://www.google.com",
"news" => "http://news.google.com",
"bing" => "http://www.bing.com",
"yahoo" => "https://www.yahoo.com",
];
try {
// magic combinator sauce to flatten the promise
// array into a single promise.
// yielding an array is an implicit "yield Amp\Promise\all($array)".
$responses = yield array_map(function ($uri) use ($httpClient) {
return $httpClient->request($uri);
}, $uris);
foreach ($responses as $key => $response) {
printf(
"%s | HTTP/%s %d %s\n",
$key,
$response->getProtocolVersion(),
$response->getStatus(),
$response->getReason()
);
}
} catch (Amp\MultiReasonException $e) {
// If any one of the requests fails the combo will fail and
// be thrown back into our generator.
echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
}
Loop::stop();
});
```
## `some()`
`Amp\Promise\some()` is the same as `all()` except that it tolerates individual failures. As long as at least one
promise in the passed succeeds, the combined promise will succeed. The successful resolution value is an array of the
form `[$arrayOfErrors, $arrayOfValues]`. The individual keys in the component arrays are preserved from the promise
array passed to the functor for evaluation.
## `any()`
`Amp\Promise\any()` is the same as `some()` except that it tolerates all failures. It will succeed even if all promises
failed.
## `first()`
`Amp\Promise\first()` resolves with the first successful result. The resulting promise will only fail if all promises in
the group fail or if the promise array is empty.
