Transmits AMQP heartbeats for Envoylope using SIGALRM UNIX System V signals via ext-pcntl.

Why?

php-amqp/librabbitmq does not fully support AMQP heartbeats, they are only supported during blocking calls into the extension. With php-amqplib, we're able to send heartbeats more regularly, using UNIX System V signals. This library provides its own signal-based heartbeat sender, using pcntl_async_signals(...) to allow for more frequent heartbeat handling, based on the logic in php-amqplib's sender implementation.

Note that the php-fpm SAPI is not supported by this scheduler, as it does not support the ext-pcntl PHP extension. If you are using php-fpm, see Envoylope EventLoop.

Usage

Install with Composer alongside php-amqp-compat:

$ composer require asmblah/php-amqp-compat
$ composer require envoylope/pcntl
