RabbitMQ PHP Library

This library is for consuming/publishing to RabbitMQ queues using PHP. It is build on top of php-amqplib which extends the AMQP protocol for RabbitMQ.

Installation

The recommended way to install php-rmqlib is through Composer.

1. Clone this repo and run php composer.phar install inside library root to install library dependencies.

2. Now edit QueueConfig.json in library root so that php-rmqlib can talk to your rabbitmq deploy.

    {
        "host": "ip_of_your_deployed_instance_of_rabbitmq",
        "port": 5672,
        "username": "your_rabbitmq_account_username",
        "password": "your_rabbitmq_account_password",
        "vhost": "cs",
        "heartbeat": 10
    }
   

3. Next, at the top of your PHP script require the rmq.php file : require 'path/to/rabbitmqlib/src/rmq.php';

All done, you're ready to use the awesomeness!

Usage

To use this library, initialize the RabbitMQ class object.

Example 1

This example pushes your messages into the configured queue:

//takes path to QueueConfig.json and log file. Creates a new library object.
$rmq_object = new RabbitMQLib\RabbitMQ(__DIR__ . 'QueueConfig.json', __DIR__ . 'log.txt');
//pushes your job to the queue
$rmq_object->send($queue_name, 'your_message_goes_here', $params);

Example 2

This example pulls your messages into the configured queue:

$rmq_object = new RabbitMQLib\RabbitMQ(__DIR__ . 'QueueConfig.json', __DIR__ . 'log.txt');
