PHP 7.0.6 Released

    Messaging operations

    All messaging operations are performed through calls to methods on the connection object. To add a message to a queue the "send" method is used, to obtain a message from a queue the "receive" method is used. Other methods provide publish and subscribe functionality and control of transaction boundaries.

    Example #1 Adding a message to a queue and receiving a response

    <?php
    $msg     = new SAMMessage('This is a simple text message');
    $msg->header->SAM_REPLY_TO = 'queue://receive/test';
    $correlid = $conn->send('queue://send/test', $msg);

    if (!    $correlid) {
          // The Send failed!
          echo "Send failed ($conn->errno) $conn->error";
    } else {
          $resp = $conn->receive('queue://receive/test', array(SAM_CORRELID => $correlid));
    }
    ?>

    Hello

    I think that most people people coming here are looking to do this on client side, in client/server web applications

    Sam is not made for this, but to connect servers together - systems in fact. See http://project-sam.awardspace.com/overview.htm

    Since PHP is stateless it is really hard to do collaborative applications with a PHP back-end and very few solutions exist. So, for those looking for this, I put here a link to a messaging server in PHP - free open source and community driven: http://php-polling.sourceforge.net/

    Hoping this will make you save time!
