msg_receive

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5, PHP 7)

msg_receive — Receive a message from a message queue

설명

bool msg_receive ( resource $queue , int $desiredmsgtype , int &$msgtype , int $maxsize , mixed &$message [, bool $unserialize = true [, int $flags = 0 [, int &$errorcode ]]] )

msg_receive() will receive the first message from the specified queue of the type specified by desiredmsgtype.

인수

queue

desiredmsgtype

If desiredmsgtype is 0, the message from the front of the queue is returned. If desiredmsgtype is greater than 0, then the first message of that type is returned. If desiredmsgtype is less than 0, the first message on the queue with the lowest type less than or equal to the absolute value of desiredmsgtype will be read. If no messages match the criteria, your script will wait until a suitable message arrives on the queue. You can prevent the script from blocking by specifying MSG_IPC_NOWAIT in the flags parameter.

msgtype

The type of the message that was received will be stored in this parameter.

maxsize

The maximum size of message to be accepted is specified by the maxsize; if the message in the queue is larger than this size the function will fail (unless you set flags as described below).

message

The received message will be stored in message, unless there were errors receiving the message.

unserialize

If set to TRUE, the message is treated as though it was serialized using the same mechanism as the session module. The message will be unserialized and then returned to your script. This allows you to easily receive arrays or complex object structures from other PHP scripts, or if you are using the WDDX serializer, from any WDDX compatible source.

If unserialize is FALSE, the message will be returned as a binary-safe string.

flags

The optional flags allows you to pass flags to the low-level msgrcv system call. It defaults to 0, but you may specify one or more of the following values (by adding or ORing them together).

**Flag values for msg_receive**
`MSG_IPC_NOWAIT`	If there are no messages of the `desiredmsgtype`, return immediately and do not wait. The function will fail and return an integer value corresponding to `MSG_ENOMSG`.
`MSG_EXCEPT`	Using this flag in combination with a `desiredmsgtype` greater than 0 will cause the function to receive the first message that is not equal to `desiredmsgtype`.
`MSG_NOERROR`	If the message is longer than `maxsize`, setting this flag will truncate the message to `maxsize` and will not signal an error.

errorcode

If the function fails, the optional errorcode will be set to the value of the system errno variable.

반환값

성공 시 TRUE를, 실패 시 FALSE를 반환합니다.

Upon successful completion the message queue data structure is updated as follows: msg_lrpid is set to the process-ID of the calling process, msg_qnum is decremented by 1 and msg_rtime is set to the current time.

참고

msg_remove_queue() - Destroy a message queue
msg_send() - Send a message to a message queue
msg_stat_queue() - Returns information from the message queue data structure
msg_set_queue() - Set information in the message queue data structure

It looks like msg_receive() allocates a memory with size $maxsize, and only then tries to receive a message from queue into allocated memory. Because my script dies with $maxsize = 1 Gib, but works with $maxsize = 10 Kib.

This is meant to be run as your apache user in a terminal, call script in note of msg_send and they will communicate.

#! /usr/bin/env php
<?php
    $MSGKEY = 519051; // Message

    $msg_id = msg_get_queue ($MSGKEY, 0600);

    while (1) {
        if (msg_receive ($msg_id, 1, $msg_type, 16384, $msg, true, 0, $msg_error)) {
            if ($msg == 'Quit') break;
            echo "$msg\n";
        } else {
            echo "Received $msg_error fetching message\n";
            break;
        }
    }

    msg_remove_queue ($msg_id);
?>

It seems that a maxsize of 2Mb is some sort of a threshold for php, above that msg_receive() starts to use a lot of CPU (with a sender that is pushing messages non-stop receiving 10000 messages jumps up from 0.01 sec to 1.5 sec on my computer) so try to stay below that thresholod if you can.

Consider this e.g. Linux situation:



<?php

//file send.php

$ip = msg_get_queue(12340);

msg_send($ip,8,"abcd",false,false,$err);

//-----------------------------------------------------

<?php

//file receive.php

$ip = msg_get_queue(12340);



msg_receive($ip,0,$msgtype,4,$data,false,null,$err);

echo "msgtype {$msgtype} data {$data}\n";



msg_receive($ip,0,$msgtype,4,$data,false,null,$err);

echo "msgtype {$msgtype} data {$data}\n";

?>



Now run: 

in terminal #1   php5 receive.php

in terminal #2   php5 receive.php

in terminal #3   php5 send.php



Showing messages from queue will flip-flop. It means you run once send.php, the message will be shown in terminal #1. Second run it will be in t#2, third #1 and so on.
