[rabbitmq-discuss] About PHP PECL extension

[Pieter de Zwart]

Happy too. Though I¹m gonna point at you if we start annoying people =)

I looked through the Java client, which would seem to be the most mature and
well built client to date. The major difference between the PHP extension
(hereby PHPE) and the Java client (hereby JC... get it?) is that the JC
allows the creation of multiple channels, and the ability to act within a
channel. PHPE instead uses one channel for everything (channel 1.)
As far as objects go, since I want PHPE to be OO, the current layout seems
to make sense to me, with AMQPConnection, AMQPExchange and AMQPQueue. From
there, the methods I think need to be cleaned up:
AMQPConnection should continue to allow the $params = array() setup, whereby
a user can create and set username, password, host, port and vhost, like so:

$cnn = new AMQPConnection(array(Œlogin¹ => Œguest¹, Œpassword¹ => Œ¹, Œhost¹
=> Œlocalhost¹)); 

However, I want to remove the auto-connect portion of the constructor, so
users have to call:

$cnn->connect();

That way, we can also add the following method: setLogin, setPassword,
setPort, setHost, setVHost. I also want to add the following action methods:
reconnect, disconnect.

The connection object should in turn give access to exchanges and queues,
but how I am not yet sure, and I would love feedback from everyone on this.
I like JC¹s approach of using AMQPConnection->queueDeclare and
AMQPConnectio->exchangeDeclare which would return instances of AMQPQueue and
AMQPExchange respectively. I guess those methods would also accept an
additional bit mask for options, and if the queue/exchange already exists,
the new bit mask values would be applied...

I am tired, so I will stop here and look for others to poke holes in my
theory. Feedback from JC users in particular would be much appreciated in
terms of likes and dislikes of their client.
