It supports the same interfaces as the [PHP RdKafka extension](https://github.com/arnaud-lb/php-rdkafka) ^5.0 and ^6.0. Supported Features ------------------ [](#supported-features) - Consumer (low and high level) - Producer (with support for transactional producing) - Admin Client - Mock Cluster to simplify integration tests (even with error situations) - Support for error handling and logging via callbacks Runtime Requirements -------------------- [](#runtime-requirements) - PHP ^7.4 or ^8.0 with extensions FFI enabled - librdkafka ^1.0.0 or ^2.0.0 - Conflicts: RdKafka extension - Suggested: - zend opcache extension for preloading - pcntl extension for faster shutdown in request/response context Note: From PHP 8.3 onwards, you must disable the stack overflow check by setting `zend.max_allowed_stack_size=-1` in your php.ini. This is necessary because FFI callbacks are executed off the main thread, and the overflow checks do not handle this scenario properly. Note: Support for macOS and Windows is experimental. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require idealo/php-rdkafka-ffi ``` Note: Expect breaking changes along all 0.\* pre-releases. This changes may depend on upcoming major releases of the RdKafka extension or improved interfaces for the experimental features like transactional producer, mock cluster and admin client.
