msg_send Send a message to a message queue &reftitle.description; boolmsg_send resourcequeue intmsgtype mixedmessage boolserialize boolblocking interrorcode msg_send sends a message of type msgtype (which MUST be greater than 0) to the message queue specified by queue. &reftitle.parameters; queue msgtype message serialize The optional serialize controls how the message is sent. serialize defaults to &true; which means that the message is serialized using the same mechanism as the session module before being sent to the queue. This allows complex arrays and objects to be sent to other PHP scripts, or if you are using the WDDX serializer, to any WDDX compatible client. blocking If the message is too large to fit in the queue, your script will wait until another process reads messages from the queue and frees enough space for your message to be sent. This is called blocking; you can prevent blocking by setting the optional blocking parameter to &false;, in which case msg_send will immediately return &false; if the message is too big for the queue, and set the optional errorcode to MSG_EAGAIN, indicating that you should try to send your message again a little later on. errorcode &reftitle.returnvalues; &return.success; Upon successful completion the message queue data structure is updated as follows: msg_lspid is set to the process-ID of the calling process, msg_qnum is incremented by 1 and msg_stime is set to the current time. &reftitle.seealso; msg_remove_queue msg_receive msg_stat_queue msg_set_queue
