================

[](#better_sqs_php)

Better SQS API for PHP

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

Get a client
------------

[](#get-a-client)

```
use BetterAwsPhpCore\Configuration;
$configuration = new Configuration;
$client = new Client($configuration);
```

Enqueue a message
-----------------

[](#enqueue-a-message)

```
$queueName = 'someSqsQueueName';
$client->push($queueName, 'can you see this amazing message?');
```

Reserve a message
-----------------

[](#reserve-a-message)

```
$queueName = 'someSqsQueueName';
$message = $client->reserve($queueName);
echo "The message is {$message->body()} with receipt {$message->receiptHandle()}";
```

Delete a reserved message
-------------------------

[](#delete-a-reserved-message)

```
$message->delete();
```

Note that reserved messages will regain visibility after a certain amount of time (see visibility timeout settings for SQS). Thus explicitly returning an unprocessed message to the queue is not necessary.
