This library is a _pure PHP_ implementation of the [AMQP 0-9-1 protocol](http://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/amqp-concepts.html).
It's been tested against [RabbitMQ](http://www.rabbitmq.com/).

The library was used for the PHP examples of [RabbitMQ in Action](http://manning.com/videla/) and the [official RabbitMQ tutorials](http://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-one-php.html).

Please note that this project is released with a [Contributor Code of Conduct](.github/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). By participating in this project you agree to abide by its terms.

## Project Maintainers

Thanks to [videlalvaro](https://github.com/videlalvaro) and [postalservice14](https://github.com/postalservice14) for creating `php-amqplib`.

The package is now maintained by [Ramūnas Dronga](https://github.com/ramunasd), [Luke Bakken](https://github.com/lukebakken) and several VMware engineers working on RabbitMQ.

## Supported RabbitMQ Versions ##

Starting with version 2.0 this library uses `AMQP 0.9.1` by default and thus requires [RabbitMQ 2.0 or later version](http://www.rabbitmq.com/download.html).
Usually server upgrades do not require any application code changes since
the protocol changes very infrequently but please conduct your own testing before upgrading.

## Supported RabbitMQ Extensions ##

Since the library uses `AMQP 0.9.1` we added support for the following RabbitMQ extensions:

* Exchange to Exchange Bindings
* Basic Nack
* Publisher Confirms
* Consumer Cancel Notify

Extensions that modify existing methods like `alternate exchanges` are also supported.

### Related libraries

* [enqueue/amqp-lib](https://github.com/php-enqueue/amqp-lib) is a [amqp interop](https://github.com/queue-interop/queue-interop#amqp-interop) compatible wrapper.

* [AMQProxy](https://github.com/cloudamqp/amqproxy) is a proxy library with connection and channel pooling/reusing. This allows for lower connection and channel churn when using php-amqplib, leading to less CPU usage of RabbitMQ.

## Setup ##

Ensure you have [composer](http://getcomposer.org) installed, then run the following command:

```bash
composer require php-amqplib/php-amqplib
```

That will fetch the library and its dependencies inside your vendor folder. Then you can add the following to your
.php files in order to use the library

```php
require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';
```

Then you need to `use` the relevant classes, for example:

```php
use PhpAmqpLib\Connection\AMQPStreamConnection;
use PhpAmqpLib\Message\AMQPMessage;
```

## Usage ##

With RabbitMQ running open two Terminals and on the first one execute the following commands to start the consumer:

```bash
cd php-amqplib/demo
php amqp_consumer.php
```

Then on the other Terminal do:

```bash
cd php-amqplib/demo
php amqp_publisher.php some text to publish
```

You should see the message arriving to the process on the other Terminal

Then to stop the consumer, send to it the `quit` message:

```bash
php amqp_publisher.php quit
```

If you need to listen to the sockets used to connect to RabbitMQ then see the example in the non blocking consumer.

```bash
php amqp_consumer_non_blocking.php
```

## Change log

Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information what has changed recently.

## API Documentation ##

http://php-amqplib.github.io/php-amqplib/

## Tutorials ##

To not repeat ourselves, if you want to learn more about this library,
please refer to the [official RabbitMQ tutorials](http://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-one-php.html).

## More Examples ##

- `amqp_ha_consumer.php`: demos the use of mirrored queues.
- `amqp_consumer_exclusive.php` and `amqp_publisher_exclusive.php`: demos fanout exchanges using exclusive queues.
- `amqp_consumer_fanout_{1,2}.php` and `amqp_publisher_fanout.php`: demos fanout exchanges with named queues.
- `amqp_consumer_pcntl_heartbeat.php`: demos signal-based heartbeat sender usage.
- `basic_get.php`: demos obtaining messages from the queues by using the _basic get_ AMQP call.

## Multiple hosts connections ##

If you have a cluster of multiple nodes to which your application can connect,
you can start a connection with an array of hosts. To do that you should use
the `create_connection` static method.

For example:
```php
$connection = AMQPStreamConnection::create_connection([
    ['host' => HOST1, 'port' => PORT, 'user' => USER, 'password' => PASS, 'vhost' => VHOST],
    ['host' => HOST2, 'port' => PORT, 'user' => USER, 'password' => PASS, 'vhost' => VHOST]
],
$options);
```

This code will try to connect to `HOST1` first, and connect to `HOST2` if the
first connection fails. The method returns a connection object for the first
successful connection. Should all connections fail it will throw the exception
from the last connection attempt.

See `demo/amqp_connect_multiple_hosts.php` for more examples.

## Batch Publishing ##

Let's say you have a process that generates a bunch of messages that are going to be published to the same `exchange` using the same `routing_key` and options like `mandatory`.
Then you could make use of the `batch_basic_publish` library feature. You can batch messages like this:

```php
$msg = new AMQPMessage($msg_body);
$ch->batch_basic_publish($msg, $exchange);

$msg2 = new AMQPMessage($msg_body);
$ch->batch_basic_publish($msg2, $exchange);
```

and then send the batch like this:

```php
$ch->publish_batch();
```

### When do we publish the message batch? ###

Let's say our program needs to read from a file and then publish one message per line. Depending on the message size, you will have to decide when it's better to send the batch.
You could send it every 50 messages, or every hundred. That's up to you.

## Optimized Message Publishing ##

Another way to speed up your message publishing is by reusing the `AMQPMessage` message instances. You can create your new message like this:

```php
$properties = array('content_type' => 'text/plain', 'delivery_mode' => AMQPMessage::DELIVERY_MODE_PERSISTENT);
$msg = new AMQPMessage($body, $properties);
$ch->basic_publish($msg, $exchange);
```

Now let's say that while you want to change the message body for future messages, you will keep the same properties, that is, your messages will still be `text/plain` and the `delivery_mode` will still be `AMQPMessage::DELIVERY_MODE_PERSISTENT`. If you create a new `AMQPMessage` instance for every published message, then those properties would have to be re-encoded in the AMQP binary format. You could avoid all that by just reusing the `AMQPMessage` and then resetting the message body like this:

```php
$msg->setBody($body2);
$ch->basic_publish($msg, $exchange);
```

## Truncating Large Messages ##

AMQP imposes no limit on the size of messages; if a very large message is received by a consumer, PHP's memory limit may be reached
within the library before the callback passed to `basic_consume` is called.

To avoid this, you can call the method `AMQPChannel::setBodySizeLimit(int $bytes)` on your Channel instance. Body sizes exceeding this limit will be truncated,
and delivered to your callback with a `AMQPMessage::$is_truncated` flag set to `true`. The property `AMQPMessage::$body_size` will reflect the true body size of
a received message, which will be higher than `strlen(AMQPMessage::getBody())` if the message has been truncated.

Note that all data above the limit is read from the AMQP Channel and immediately discarded, so there is no way to retrieve it within your
callback. If you have another consumer which can handle messages with larger payloads, you can use `basic_reject` or `basic_nack` to tell
the server (which still has a complete copy) to forward it to a Dead Letter Exchange.

By default, no truncation will occur. To disable truncation on a Channel that has had it enabled, pass `0` (or `null`) to `AMQPChannel::setBodySizeLimit()`.

## Connection recovery ##

Some RabbitMQ clients using automated connection recovery mechanisms to reconnect
and recover channels and consumers in case of network errors.

Since this client is using a single-thread, you can set up connection recovery
using exception handling mechanism.

Exceptions which might be thrown in case of connection errors:

```php
PhpAmqpLib\Exception\AMQPConnectionClosedException
PhpAmqpLib\Exception\AMQPIOException
\RuntimeException
\ErrorException
```

Some other exceptions might be thrown, but connection can still be there. It's
always a good idea to clean up an old connection when handling an exception
before reconnecting.

For example, if you want to set up a recovering connection:

```php
$connection = null;
$channel = null;
while(true){
    try {
        $connection = new AMQPStreamConnection(HOST, PORT, USER, PASS, VHOST);
        // Your application code goes here.
        do_something_with_connection($connection);
    } catch(AMQPRuntimeException $e) {
        echo $e->getMessage();
        cleanup_connection($connection);
        usleep(WAIT_BEFORE_RECONNECT_uS);
    } catch(\RuntimeException $e) {
        cleanup_connection($connection);
        usleep(WAIT_BEFORE_RECONNECT_uS);
    } catch(\ErrorException $e) {
        cleanup_connection($connection);
        usleep(WAIT_BEFORE_RECONNECT_uS);
    }
}

```

A full example is in `demo/connection_recovery_consume.php`.

This code will reconnect and retry the application code every time the
exception occurs. Some exceptions can still be thrown and should not be handled
as a part of reconnection process, because they might be application errors.

This approach makes sense mostly for consumer applications, producers will
require some additional application code to avoid publishing the same message
multiple times.

This was a simplest example, in a real-life application you might want to
control retr count and maybe gracefully degrade wait time to reconnection.

You can find a more excessive example in [#444](https://github.com/php-amqplib/php-amqplib/issues/444)

## UNIX Signals ##

If you have installed [PCNTL extension](http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.pcntl.php) dispatching of signal will be handled when consumer is not processing message.

```php
$pcntlHandler = function ($signal) {
    switch ($signal) {
        case \SIGTERM:
        case \SIGUSR1:
        case \SIGINT:
            // some stuff before stop consumer e.g. delete lock etc
            pcntl_signal($signal, SIG_DFL); // restore handler
            posix_kill(posix_getpid(), $signal); // kill self with signal, see https://www.cons.org/cracauer/sigint.html
        case \SIGHUP:
            // some stuff to restart consumer
            break;
        default:
            // do nothing
    }
};

pcntl_signal(\SIGTERM, $pcntlHandler);
pcntl_signal(\SIGINT,  $pcntlHandler);
pcntl_signal(\SIGUSR1, $pcntlHandler);
pcntl_signal(\SIGHUP,  $pcntlHandler);
```

To disable this feature just define constant `AMQP_WITHOUT_SIGNALS` as `true`

```php
<?php
define('AMQP_WITHOUT_SIGNALS', true);

... more code

```

## Signal-based Heartbeat ##

If you have installed [PCNTL extension](http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.pcntl.php) and are using PHP 7.1 or greater,
you can register a signal-based heartbeat sender.

```php
<?php

$sender = new PCNTLHeartbeatSender($connection);
$sender->register();
... code
$sender->unregister();

```

## Debugging ##

If you want to know what's going on at a protocol level then add the following constant to your code:

```php
<?php
define('AMQP_DEBUG', true);

... more code

?>
```

## Benchmarks ##

To run the publishing/consume benchmark type:

```bash
make benchmark
```

## Tests and Contributing

Please see [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details.

## Using AMQP 0.8 ##

If you still want to use the old version of the protocol then you can do it by setting the following constant in your configuration code:

```php
define('AMQP_PROTOCOL', '0.8');
```

The default value is `'0.9.1'`.

## Providing your own autoloader ##

If for some reason you don't want to use composer, then you need to have an autoloader in place fo the library classes. People have [reported](https://github.com/videlalvaro/php-amqplib/issues/61#issuecomment-37855050) to use this [autoloader](https://gist.github.com/jwage/221634) with success.
