PHP ZMQ
=======

[](#php-zmq)

PHP bindings for 0MQ. The documentation is available [here](https://php.net/zmq)

This is a hardfork of the [PHP Extension](https://github.com/zeromq/php-zmq), updated for a PHP's newer extension sensibilities and API functions. As such, support for versions of PHP older than 8.1 and versions of libzmq below version 4 have been dropped.

Additionally the support for libczmq has been dropped as it wasn't documented and wasn't used at $work. Will be added back at a later date should it be required.

Prerequisites
