New release with PHP 8 support?

[dzuelke]

Hi @lstrojny and others,

PHP 8.0.0 is getting really close and it looks like this extension supports it already.

All that's missing is a Git tag, and a release to PECL :)

Would be super if that could be done anytime soon so that e.g. PaaSes have a stable release version to provide to customers.

Thanks!

[mynameisbogdan]

I would rather think even a beta release would be okay till the maintainers consider it's ready for a stable release.

[dzuelke]

Yeah that's totally fine too, I don't expect it to be finished. A tagged beta/RC release, published to PECL, makes it easier for a broader audience to test it and report (and fix!) issues.

[dzuelke]

(I was going by the status tracked at https://blog.remirepo.net/post/2020/09/21/PHP-extensions-status-with-upcoming-PHP-8.0 in my assertion that Git master is in a working state, FWIW)

[dingo-d]

What is the status of PHP8 support? I tried manually installing it, but when running ./configure I keep getting

checking for amqp using pkg-config... configure: error: librabbitmq not found

I'm on MacOS 10.15.7, running PHP 8.

I installed the rabbitmq-c and rabbitmq using brew. Still get the same issue. So I tried building it from https://github.com/alanxz/rabbitmq-c using vcpkg which seemed to have passed, but the installation still fails, and I'm not sure why.

EDIT

This did the trick: https://gist.github.com/wcomnisky/6d276a9894a5b2078b552cc492fa1abd

[mokraemer]

It would be nice to have a release which compiles with php 8

[BanzaiMan]

As far as I can tell, the master branch compiles and installs fine, but emits a lot of compiler warnings.

https://travis-ci.com/github/travis-ci/php-src-builder/jobs/452193258#L5526

There is also #383.

[mokraemer]

Ok, thanks. That would be good enough for a first try. But for packaging a released version would be much better, even if it has many warnings during compile.

This did not work for me as it was, but it did work after I switched from alpine with apk to full image with apt-get and built https://github.com/remicollet/php-amqp/tree/issue-php8 branch (which I found in pull request) instead of current official repo master branch.

UPD: That branch is merged so now I'm building from the official repo.

[lstrojny]

Will roll a beta release in the next couple of days for everybody to test. Looking forward to your feedback!

[mohsenmottaghi]

We look forward to seeing AMQP on PHP8.

Thanks for this! I just had to add the rabbitmq-c library to the final image:
RUN apk add --no-cache rabbitmq-c

Adding my subscription to this topic. This solution worked for me. Hopefully this will get released soon. I'm a little surprised some of these libraries weren't already made 8 compatible before it's release.

[aurimasniekis]

Not the first or last time this has happened, right now just compiling extension from git master branch in our Dockerfile

[mlocati]

The same for my widely used script that installs PHP extensions in docker PHP containers: mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer#233

[michaljusiega]

@lstrojny friendly ping, we need this release <3

[mlocati]

@michaljusiega you can easily install amqp with PHP 8.0 by using the master branch of this project:

curl -sSLf https://codeload.github.com/php-amqp/php-amqp/tar.gz/df1241852b359cf12c346beaa68de202257efdf1 | tar xz
cd php-amqp-df1241852b359cf12c346beaa68de202257efdf1
phpize
./configure
make -j$(nproc)
make install
cd ..
rm -rf php-amqp-df1241852b359cf12c346beaa68de202257efdf1

(and if you use Docker you can use my install-php-extensions script, that does that for you 😉)

[lstellway]

Roughly following advice from @insekticid & @mlocati, I was able to add the amqp extension to my PHP Docker containers by including the following commands in my build file:

# Extract PHP source
docker-php-source extract

# Create directory for amqp extension
mkdir /usr/src/php/ext/amqp

# Download AMQP master branch files to extension directory
curl -L https://github.com/php-amqp/php-amqp/archive/master.tar.gz | tar -xzC /usr/src/php/ext/amqp --strip-components=1

# Install amqp extension using built-in docker binary
docker-php-ext-install amqp

You can also clean up the image a bit by deleting the PHP source after compiling:

# Delete PHP source
docker-php-source delete

[michaljusiega]

I think part of the community of PHP don't want to do workaround using your suggestions.
How hard is it to release a version @lstrojny ?

[airoude]

I think Heroku is also waiting for a release.

[andypost]

Please create a new release, I guess it will be 1.11.0

[javaDeveloperKid]

I wonder as well as @michaljusiega. How hard is it to release a version @lstrojny?
If you don't have time just say it. If work is still in progress just say it. We will understand. Your silence does not help.
Here in another repository dependabot/dependabot-core#3039 you asked for a release and you got it on demand so don't have double standards.

[flavioheleno]

Folks, as much as I'm looking forward for a new release as you are, please remember that this is an open source project and not a full time job. I'm fairly sure that the radio silence on @lstrojny's end isn't on purpose.
Please be patient, I do understand that this may be blocking you all as it is blocking me, but be a bit more empathetic with open source developers as they usually work on these projects on their free time.

[michaljusiega]

You are both right, but if you manage a PHP project, you also have to take responsibility?

[mokraemer]

Yeah, this situation is not quite a good one. PHP 8 was announced ~ 1 year ago. So changes could have been made here as they were on other projects.
For packagers like me, it is really not nice to patch all packages myself to get them compatible with the latest php release.

For the developer this should be a simple s&r to get it right to the latest api changes. Not much fuss about it. It is really annoying many pecl-packages still don't have php 8 versions.

there are no links for windows and php 8.0 :(

See #390.

PR: #396

[Jan-E]

Any workaround for windows users?

See #396 (comment)

[ste93cry]

@lstrojny sorry for asking again, but do you have any ETA on when the stable release will be released? I know that the beta is on PECL, but as you can imagine I don't feel comfortable using it in production and we're almost half a year after the release of PHP8

[BenMorel]

@ste93cry If that helps, we've been using 1.11.0beta in production for 4 weeks with no problem.

I would love to see a final release too, though.

@Jan-E I am unable to find compiled Windows version for PHP 8 in your provided link. Could you please provide direct link?

[Jan-E]

There are no direct links. A php_amqp.dll can be found in each zip-file on https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=6359

[Jan-E]

You will need the rabbitmq.4.dll in the zip as well.

[danilopolani]

Ehy @lstrojny ,
I don't wanna be that "up" guy, but is there any update about this? PHP8.1 will be available in 3 months, the last "community" comment here is 2 months old and an official update (the beta release) is 5 months old and we cannot upgrade to PHP8 because of this.

What's the blocker? Full support for Windows? Can we help in any way?

[lyrixx]

FTR, we are using PHP 8 + php-amqp for many month now. And we don't have any issue.
This ext is installable on Debian (and derivated) disto via sury repo (ref)

[ruudk]

Same here, we've been using 1.11.0beta in production on PHP 8 and don't have encountered any issues 😊

[Jan-E]

What's the blocker? Full support for Windows? Can we help in any way?

Full Windows support should not be a blocker. With #396 Windows support is OK in PHP 8.0. And in PHP 8.1.0 beta 3 as well.

See https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=30903 if you want to test this on Windows. Or https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Jan-E/php-amqp/builds/40429159 if you want to see how Appveyor builds the DLL's. Look in the artifacts tab of each job to download the results.

[Snowbaha]

Hello, thank you for the link. I tried to add the php_amqp.dll from the php8 zip but I still have this issue :
"Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'amqp' (tried: ext\amqp...."

I don't understand why, my php.ini is right with extension=amqp and the folder ext is OK

[cmb69]

The PHP downloads from windows.php.net contain a file deplister.exe. Run that on the DLL: deplister.exe php_ampq.dll. This shows whether all dependencies are available.

I don't understand, there is nothing with this command:

There's a typo: php_ampq should be php_amqp

[aurimasniekis]

LOL PHP 8.1 was released a few days ago... :D Should we change to also include the 8.1 version? :D

[danilopolani]

See #399, PHP8.1 support is in development apparently, although the last activity in the experimental PR is a month ago 😕

[lstrojny]

Version 1.11.0 has been released and it supports both PHP 8.0 and 8.1

[aurimasniekis]

NICE!

[ruudk]

@lstrojny Thank you so much! 👏

[lwohlhart]

awesome, thank you very much.
was working with amqp-1.11.0RC1 - looked totally fine;
looking forward to giving it a go
