Paul Colby commented on QPID-3027:
----------------------------------
bq. Can you ping me in IRC
I tried that, but you were away... I suspect our timezone differences will make
IRC tricky (I'm UTC+11 at the moment). Let me know you're timezone and I'll
see if I can workout a convenient time for chatting.
In the meantime, here's some basic ways you can test the PHP code.
h3. PHP Info
The first thing to check, is that the {{cqpid}} and {{cqmf2}} PHP modules are
loaded by PHP. The easiest way to do this is to run the following command:
{{php -i}}
This will produce a whole lot of text output describing PHP's configuration and
modules, etc. If you pipe it to a command like {{less}}, and then search for
{{cqmf2}}, you will see the following details that have been added by the
{{cqmf2}} and {{cqpid}} modules:
{noformat}
cqmf2
SWIG Version => 2.0.8
Targeted PHP Version => 5.4.7 (5.4.7)
PHP Thread Safety => disabled
Compiler Version => gcc 4.7.2
Build Date => Nov 5 2012 02:53:38
cqpid
SWIG Version => 2.0.8
Targeted PHP Version => 5.4.7 (5.4.7)
PHP Thread Safety => disabled
Compiler Version => gcc 4.7.2
Build Date => Nov 5 2012 02:53:34
{noformat}
If that information is not present, then the module was not loaded (the
{{install}} target should have created relevant {{/etc/php.d/cqpid.ini}} and
{{/etc/php.d/cqmf2.ini}} files to load the module). Such as:
{code:title=cqpid.ini}
; configuration for PHP Qpid module
extension=/usr/lib64/php/modules/cqpid.so
{code}
If you want some (slightly) prettier output, instead of running {{php -i}} you
could setup a simple PHP webpage and run the {{phpinfo()}} function to see the
same output as above, but in HTML tables instead.
h3. CLI Examples
Once the modules are loaded (should happen automatically if you do a {{make
install}}), the next thing I do is run some of the PHP examples.
First, run a qpidd broker in one terminal:
{{qpidd --auth=no}}
Then, run some of the examples under
{{qpid/cpp/bindings/qpid/examples/php/cli}} - these are PHP ports of the
existing Qpid examples, so work the same way.
For example:
{code}
[paul@fepoch cli]$ php -f map_sender.php # Will send a PHP associative array
as a map message to the broker.
[paul@fepoch cli]$ php -f map_receiver.php # Will print_r the next message from
the broker.
Array
(
[colours] => Array
(
[0] => red
[1] => green
[2] => white
)
[id] => 987654321
[name] => Widget
[percent] => 0.99
[uuid] => 773bb118-286c-435e-8948-71e57f9e2f97
)
[paul@fepoch cli]$
{code}
This example is particularly interesting since it shows the marshalling of
different QVariant types from/to PHP types :)
h3. Web Example
There's also a very basic "hello world" web-based exmaple in
{{qpid/cpp/bindings/qpid/examples/php/web}}. To run that example, simply drop
the PHP file into a directory being hosted by a webserver with PHP enabled. It
will present an HTML form allowing you to specify some basic broker parameters,
and will then send/receive a message.
h3. Unit Testing
I'm quite a fan of {{phpunit}} for PHP unit testing, so I'll create some PHP
unit tests for this sometime. Perhaps I'll create them as a separate diff
though, since the above patch is already 70kB (and the PHP unit tests will not
require any direct code linkage to the Qpid / PHP module source, so can be
entirely independent).
h3. Other Issues
The other issue I see, is the requirement for a custom {{FindPHPDev}} CMake
module. I've begun talks on the CMake mailing list in hopes of getting the
module included there. Is this a blocker in the meantime? There might
(probably should) be a way to include the custom CMake module in the Qpid
source / build tree for now, but this is not something I've looked into yet.
I look forward to chatting on IRC sometime.
