PHP Synchronous vs. Asynchronous operations

Synchronous vs. Asynchronous operations

By default this client is configured to work in a synchronous mode, which means that for every command (except CONNECT) the client will wait for the receipt . You can set the client to work in the asynchronous mode, by setting the sync property of the StompConnection object to false.

Asynchronous client
$conn = new StompConnection("tcp://localhost:61613");
$conn->sync = false;

You can also perform single operations in desired mode, no matter of the global client settings, by passing additional parameter to the appropriate method

Asynchronous method
$this->conn->send("/queue/test", "test", null, true);

Some things you have to consider when deciding whether to use synchrnous os asynchronous mode

  • When you use asynchronous mode broker errors will be ignored
  • Asynchronous method allows you to send messages faster, since will not wait for broker's response
