Connect to Azure Service Bus using connection settings from Azure Management Portal

[jameschristou]

I'm trying to connect to an Azure Service Bus Topic from PHP using the SDK for PHP and have had no luck getting past the connection string. I am using the connection string from the Azure Management Portal and it looks something like this Endpoint=sb://my-sb-namespace.servicebus.windows.net/;SharedAccessKeyName=RootManageSharedAccessKey;SharedAccessKey=blahblah=.

Here is my code:

set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . $_SERVER['WEBROOT_PATH'] . '\vendor\pear-pear.php.net\HTTP_Request2');
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . $_SERVER['WEBROOT_PATH'] . '\vendor\pear-pear.php.net\Net_URL2');
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . $_SERVER['WEBROOT_PATH'] . '\vendor\pear-pear.php.net\PEAR');

require_once( $_SERVER['WEBROOT_PATH'] . '\vendor\microsoft\windowsazure\windowsazure\WindowsAzure.php' );

use WindowsAzure\Common\ServicesBuilder;
use WindowsAzure\Common\ServiceException;
use WindowsAzure\ServiceBus\Models\BrokeredMessage;

$connectionString = 'Endpoint=sb://my-sb-namespace.servicebus.windows.net/;SharedSecretIssuer=RootManageSharedAccessKey;SharedSecretValue=blahblah=';
$serviceBusRestProxy = ServicesBuilder::getInstance()->createServiceBusService($connectionString);

try {
    // Create message.
    $message = new BrokeredMessage();
    $message->setBody('Post ' . $post_ID . ' updated');

    // Send message.
    $serviceBusRestProxy->sendTopicMessage("mytopicname", $message);
}
catch(ServiceException $e){
    $errorMsg = 'ErrorCode: ' . $e->getCode() . ' ErrorMessage: ' . $e->getMessage();
    fwrite(STDOUT, $errorMsg);
}

When I run this script I get the following error:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught HTTP_Request2_ConnectionException: Unable to connect to ssl://my-sb-namespace-sb.accesscontrol.windows.net:443. Error: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known.  in D:\home\site\wwwroot\vendor\pear-pear.php.net\HTTP_Request2\HTTP\Request2\Adapter\Socket.php on line 325

Any ideas?

Got a workaround using ACS connection setting rather than the default SAS setting which you get from Azure Management Portal. I needed to delete my existing service bus namespace and then recreate it using powershell. Then I could get the ACS setting from Azure Management Portal. See the comment from @Bottle here Azure/azure-sdk-for-java#437 for details.

However it would be nice however if we could use SAS from the SDK since that is now the default within the Azure Management Portal.

Hi, it would be nice to rewirte ServiceBuilder.php to use SAS, I'm not able to create ACS namespace using powershell from my macbook

This is quite the showstopper for using this library. Is there anything I can do to help out with getting this implemented quickly?

[sergey-shandar]

We are working on ARM implementation of Azure SDK for PHP. However, if someone provides a PR, I'm happy to review it and release a new version of the SDK.

Does this mean that the error I'm having:
cURL error 6: Could not resolve host: ***-sb.accesscontrol.windows.net
Is related to this?

[Shaked]

@timbrand did you solve this issue?

[blocksninja]

@Shaked Actually, I stopped the implementation and went back to RabbitMQ.

[Shaked]

@timbrand Thanks for the reply. In case you still need it, I have it working here: https://github.com/Shaked/azure-sdk-for-php. I didn't do a pull request as the contribution document is way too long and I have no time to follow all the guidelines.

[sergey-shandar]

@Shaked please, send a PR. I will have a look. I can also help you with the contribution document.

[smpilo]

@Shaked Do you think you can address the PR issues in the short term? :) We have business partners who we'd love to roll to a new version and use SAS instead of monkeying around with ACS.

[Shaked]

@smpilo AFAIU @sergey-shandar is on it. I will try to fix the comments that I saw in the pull request but I have no time to do the entire process.

In the meanwhile, you can require the package from my repository if you would like

[sergey-shandar]

@smpilo and @Shaked the PR is still failing because the fix doesn't support PHP 5.6 and PHP 7.0. Could you provide a fix?

Downgrading to 0.4 worked for me, not the best of the solutions I know ...

composer.json:

{
  "require": {
    "microsoft/windowsazure": "~0.4"
  }
}
