msg_receive
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)
msg_receive — Receive a message from a message queue
Description
$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.
Parameters
-
queue -
-
desiredmsgtype -
If
desiredmsgtypeis 0, the message from the front of the queue is returned. Ifdesiredmsgtypeis greater than 0, then the first message of that type is returned. Ifdesiredmsgtypeis less than 0, the first message on the queue with the lowest type less than or equal to the absolute value ofdesiredmsgtypewill 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 specifyingMSG_IPC_NOWAITin theflagsparameter. -
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 setflagsas 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
unserializeisFALSE, the message will be returned as a binary-safe string. -
flags -
The optional
flagsallows 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_NOWAITIf there are no messages of the desiredmsgtype, return immediately and do not wait. The function will fail and return an integer value corresponding toMSG_ENOMSG.MSG_EXCEPTUsing this flag in combination with a desiredmsgtypegreater than 0 will cause the function to receive the first message that is not equal todesiredmsgtype.MSG_NOERRORIf the message is longer than maxsize, setting this flag will truncate the message tomaxsizeand will not signal an error. -
errorcode -
If the function fails, the optional
errorcodewill be set to the value of the system errno variable.
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
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.

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);
?>
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.
<?php error_reporting(E_ALL);

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.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.
