On this page you can find all versions of the php package phpdot/rabbitmq. It is possible to download/install these versions without Composer. Possible dependencies are resolved automatically.
FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Consuming
Three return values. No ambiguity:
- SUCCESS — ack, done
- RETRY — nack to retry queue, try again later
- DEAD — ack + forward to dead letter exchange
Unhandled exceptions are caught and dead-lettered automatically. The consumer never crashes.
Retry & Dead Letter
Retry Flow
Enable in config:
Retry infrastructure (exchange, TTL queue, bindings) is created automatically on first use.
Dead Letter
When max retries exceeded or TaskStatus::DEAD returned, the message is forwarded to the dead letter exchange with:
x-failed-queue— original queue namex-failed-reason— failure descriptionx-failed-timestamp— Unix timestamp
Replay
After fixing a bug, replay dead-lettered messages back to their original queue. Same callback pattern as consuming — return an enum, the library handles the rest.
Three actions per message:
- REPLAY — ack + republish to original exchange with original message ID. Dead-letter metadata stripped, retry counter reset.
- REMOVE — ack + discard permanently. Use the callback to clean up related data before it's gone.
- SKIP — nack with requeue. Message stays in DLQ for later.
Uses basic_get (pull mode) — processes available messages and stops. No infinite loop.
Compression
Trace Propagation
Pass trace context as plain string headers. No coupling to any tracing library.

Message API
CLI Commands
When installed in a phpdot app (with phpdot/console), these commands
auto-discover and become available under your CLI entry point:
rabbitmq:status
Connection check + topology drift detection — confirms the broker is up,
credentials work, and every exchange/queue defined in config/rabbitmq.php
is actually declared.
rabbitmq:queues
Queue depths and consumer counts — basic observability without opening the
management UI. Supports --filter=substring and --watch (refresh every
second).
rabbitmq:topology:declare
Applies the exchanges/queues/bindings from config/rabbitmq.php to the
broker. Idempotent — existing matching resources are skipped. Supports
--dry-run (preview) and --force (drop+recreate mismatched queues,
DESTRUCTIVE — confirms before dropping unless --no-interaction).
rabbitmq:peek <queue> [--limit=5]
Inspects messages in a queue without consuming them. Each peeked message
is returned to the queue via basic_reject with requeue.
rabbitmq:replay <queue> [--limit=10] [--dry-run]
Wraps the Replayer class — requeues dead-letter messages back to their
original exchange. --dry-run previews what would replay without acking.
rabbitmq:dlq:analyze <queue> [--limit=500]
Samples a dead-letter queue and groups messages by death reason and original routing-key — one-screen incident triage.
