zerorpc PHP Client
==================

[](#zerorpc-php-client)

Quick start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

- check dependences

```
$ composer install

```

- recommand installation for Mac

```
$ brew install zeromq --universal
$ brew install php56
$ brew install php56-msgpack
$ brew install php56-zmq

```

- Installing zerorpc on Ubuntu

```
$ sudo pecl install channel://pecl.php.net/msgpack-0.5.5
$ sudo apt-get install pkg-config
$ git clone git://github.com/mkoppanen/php-zmq.git
$ cd php-zmq && sudo phpize && ./configure
$ sudo make && make install

```

*Note: Don't forget to add the extensions to your php.ini*

```
extension=msgpack.so
extension=zmq.so

```

Timeout Setting
---------------

[](#timeout-setting)

- `$timeout` is in milliseconds
- `$client->setTimeout($timeout)` is only work on sync calls
- `Channel::dispatch($timeout)` is only work on async calls

Example
-------

[](#example)

**Server:**

Read [official python server guide](https://github.com/0rpc/zerorpc-python) and start two simple `time` server.

```
$ zerorpc --server --bind tcp://*:1234 time
$ zerorpc --server --bind tcp://*:2345 time

```

**Client:**

```
$ php example/time.php

```

This will return:

```
Example 1: start sync call:
cost 5.0087389945984 s
Example 2: start async call:
cost 3.0069580078125 s

```

Know Issue
----------

[](#know-issue)

We assume most of the PHP usage scenario is webserver, so `LostRemoteException` is not implemented, and because of that `heartbeat` is disabled.
