Pheanstalk

Pheanstalk, created by Paul Annesley, is a pure PHP 5.2+ client for the beanstalkd workqueue. The code is rigorously unit tested and written using encapsulated, maintainable object oriented design.

All commands and responses specified in the protocol documentation for beanstalkd 1.3 are fully supported.

Usage Example

<?php

// register Pheanstalk class loader
require_once('pheanstalk_init.php');

$pheanstalk = new Pheanstalk('127.0.0.1');

// ----------------------------------------
// producer (queues jobs)

$pheanstalk
  ->useTube('testtube')
  ->put("job payload goes here\n");

// ----------------------------------------
// worker (performs jobs)

$job = $pheanstalk
  ->watch('testtube')
  ->ignore('default')
  ->reserve();

echo $job->getData();

$pheanstalk->delete($job);

?>
