```

### Create instance

[](#create-instance)

```
// Importing the namespace
use tinymsg\Msg;

// Server without SSL
$msg = new Msg('channel-name', 'tinymsg.domain.tld');

// Server with SSL
$msg = new Msg('channel-name', 'tinymsg.domain.tld', true);

// Localhost with special port
$msg = new Msg('channel-name', 'localhost:7777', false, 7777);

// Send a message
$msg->send('string');
$msg->send(array(1,2,3,4));

### Open/close socket

```
// Close the socket connection
$msg->close();

// (Re-) Open the socket connection
$msg->open();
```
