Introduction and usage tutorial of PHP's MQTT extension library

Introduction:
With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport), as a lightweight communication protocol, has been widely attention and application. In PHP development, by using the MQTT extension library, we can easily communicate with the MQTT server. This article will introduce the basic concepts and usage of the MQTT extension library, and demonstrate how to use MQTT for message publishing and subscription through code examples.

1. Introduction to the MQTT extension library
The MQTT extension library is a PHP extension used to communicate with the MQTT server. It provides a series of functions and classes that allow us to easily implement MQTT. Function. Before we begin, we need to install the extension library. Depending on the PHP version and operating system type you are using, you can install it in different ways.

2. Use of MQTT extension library

1. Connecting to the MQTT server
   The first step in using the MQTT extension library is to create an MQTT client and establish a connection with the MQTT server. During the connection process, we need to specify the server’s hostname, port number, and client ID.

<?php
$host = 'mqtt.example.com';
$port = 1883;
$clientID = 'php-mqtt-client';

$mqtt = new MosquittoClient($clientID);
$mqtt->connect($host, $port);

2. Publish message
   To publish a message to the MQTT server, we need to specify the topic (Topic) and content of the message. The message can be sent to the corresponding topic by calling the publish function.

<?php
$topic = 'example/topic';
$message = 'Hello, MQTT!';

$mqtt->publish($topic, $message, 0, false);

The third parameter specifies the QoS level, 0 indicates at most one transmission, 1 indicates at least one transmission, and 2 indicates only one transmission. The fourth parameter is used to specify whether to retain its own Client ID in the message.

3. Subscription message
   Subscription message is one of the most important functions in MQTT. By calling the subscribe function, the client can subscribe to one or more topics and specify the corresponding callback function to process the received messages.

<?php
$topic = 'example/topic';

// 定义回调函数
$mqtt->onMessage(function($message) {
    echo 'Received message: ' . $message->payload . PHP_EOL;
});

$mqtt->subscribe($topic, 0);
$mqtt->loopForever();

In the above example, we defined an anonymous callback function to handle the received message. The callback function will be called when the corresponding message is received, and the content of the received message will be output.

4. Disconnect
   Finally, when we no longer need to communicate with the MQTT server, we can disconnect by calling the disconnect function.

<?php
$mqtt->disconnect();

3. Summary
By using the MQTT extension library, we can easily implement communication between PHP and the MQTT server. This article briefly introduces the basic concepts and usage of the MQTT extension library, and provides code examples to demonstrate how to use MQTT for message publishing and subscription. I hope this article can be helpful to beginners and make better use of MQTT technology in actual development.
