ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ:Send and receive normal messages

Last Updated:Aug 21, 2023

Normal messages are featureless messages provided by ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ. Normal messages are different from featured messages, including scheduled messages, delayed messages, ordered messages, and transactional messages. This topic provides sample code on how to send and receive normal messages by using the HTTP client SDK for PHP.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure that the following operations are performed:

  • Install the SDK for PHP. For more information, see Prepare the environment.

  • Create the resources that you want to specify in the code in the ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ console. The resources include instances, topics, and consumer groups. For more information, see Create resources.

  • Obtain the AccessKey pair of your Alibaba Cloud account. For more information, see Create an AccessKey pair.

Send normal messages

The following sample code provides an example on how to send normal messages by using the HTTP client SDK for PHP:

<?php

require "vendor/autoload.php";

use MQ\Model\TopicMessage;
use MQ\MQClient;

class ProducerTest
{
    private $client;
    private $producer;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->client = new MQClient(
            // The HTTP endpoint. You can obtain the endpoint in the HTTP Endpoint section of the Instance Details page in the ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ console. 
            "${HTTP_ENDPOINT}",
            // Make sure that the environment variables ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID and ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET are configured. 
	          // The AccessKey ID that is used for authentication. 
	          getenv("ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID"),
	          // The AccessKey secret that is used for authentication. 
	          getenv('ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET')
        );

        // The topic in which the message is produced. You must create the topic in the ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ console. 
        $topic = "${TOPIC}";
        // The ID of the instance to which the topic belongs. You must create the instance in the ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ console. 
        // If the instance has a namespace, specify the ID of the instance. If the instance does not have a namespace, set the instanceID parameter to null or an empty string. You can obtain the namespace of the instance on the Instance Details page in the ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ console. 
        $instanceId = "${INSTANCE_ID}";

        $this->producer = $this->client->getProducer($instanceId, $topic);
    }

    public function run()
    {
        try
        {
            for ($i=1; $i<=4; $i++)
            {
                $publishMessage = new TopicMessage(
                // The message content. 
                "hello mq!"
                );
                // The custom attributes of the message. 
                $publishMessage->putProperty("a", $i);
                // The message key. 
                $publishMessage->setMessageKey("MessageKey");

                $result = $this->producer->publishMessage($publishMessage);

                print "Send mq message success. msgId is:" . $result->getMessageId() . ", bodyMD5 is:" . $result->getMessageBodyMD5() . "\n";
            }
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            print_r($e->getMessage() . "\n");
        }
    }
}


$instance = new ProducerTest();
$instance->run();

?>

            

Subscribe to normal messages

The following sample code provides an example on how to subscribe to normal messages by using the HTTP client SDK for PHP:

<?php

use MQ\MQClient;

require "vendor/autoload.php";

class ConsumerTest
{
    private $client;
    private $consumer;

    public function __construct()

            // The HTTP endpoint. You can obtain the endpoint in the HTTP Endpoint section of the Instance Details page in the ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ console. 
            "${HTTP_ENDPOINT}",
            // Make sure that the environment variables ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID and ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET are configured. 
	          // The AccessKey ID that is used for authentication. 
	          getenv("ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID"),
	          // The AccessKey secret that is used for authentication. 
	          getenv('ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET')
        );

        // The topic in which the message is produced. You must create the topic in the ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ console. 
        $topic = "${TOPIC}";
        // The ID of the consumer group that you created in the ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ console. 
        $groupId = "${GROUP_ID}";
        // The ID of the instance to which the topic belongs. You must create the instance in the ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ console. 
        // If the instance has a namespace, specify the ID of the instance. If the instance does not have a namespace, set the instanceID parameter to null or an empty string. You can obtain the namespace of the instance on the Instance Details page in the ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ console. 
        $instanceId = "${INSTANCE_ID}";

        $this->consumer = $this->client->getConsumer($instanceId, $topic, $groupId);
    }

    public function ackMessages($receiptHandles)
    {
        try {
            $this->consumer->ackMessage($receiptHandles);
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            if ($e instanceof MQ\Exception\AckMessageException) {

    }
