How to use Google Cloud Pub/Sub to implement message subscription and publishing in PHP development

Google Cloud Pub/Sub is a fully managed messaging service that allows you to reliably transfer real-time and asynchronous data between multiple applications. It is a widely used solution that caters to many use cases such as load balancing, event-driven computing, logging, notifications and analytics, etc.

In PHP development, it is also feasible to use Google Cloud Pub/Sub to implement message subscription and publishing. This article explains how to use Google Cloud Pub/Sub for messaging from a PHP application.

1. Create Google Cloud Pub/Sub service

Before using Google Cloud Pub/Sub, you need to enable the Google Cloud Pub/Sub API on the Google Cloud Console and create a Google Cloud Pub/Sub service account.

Enable Google Cloud Pub/Sub API:

1. Open the Google Cloud Console
2. Select APIs and Services in the menu->Dashboard
3. Enter "Google Cloud Pub/Sub API" in the search box and select the corresponding service
4. Click the enable button

Create a Google Cloud Pub/Sub service account:

1. Open the Google Cloud Console
2. Select IAM and Management->Service Account in the left menu
3. Click the Create Service Account button
4. Enter the service account name and description in the pop-up window
5. Select Pub/Sub->Pub/Sub Receiver or Pub/Sub Publisher from the role drop-down list
6. Click the Save button
7. In the generated service account details page, click the "Create Key" button and select the JSON format
8. Install Google Cloud Pub/Sub SDK for PHP

Google Cloud Pub/Sub SDK for PHP is the official PHP library of Google Cloud Pub/Sub and can be used to implement messaging in PHP applications.

It is easy to install Google Cloud Pub/Sub SDK for PHP using Composer:

composer require google/cloud-pubsub

3. Publishing messages

It is very easy to use Google Cloud Pub/Sub to publish messages Simple. The following code can publish a message to the topic named "example-topic":

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use GoogleCloudPubSubPubSubClient;

$pubsub = new PubSubClient();

$topic = $pubsub->topic('example-topic');

$topic->publish(['data' => 'Hello, World!']);

In the above code, the autoloader in the "vendor/autoload.php" file is first used. Then, instantiate a PubSub client object using the "GoogleCloudPubSubPubSubClient" class.

Then, use the service account credentials created in the previous step to authorize the Pub/Sub client object. Once the client object is authorized, you can use it to operate on your topics and subscriptions.

Next, you need to use the $pubsub->topic() method to get a pointer to the topic named "example-topic". Then, use the $topic->publish() method to publish messages to the topic.

Thepublish() method accepts an array parameter, where the "data" key is used to specify the message content to be published.

4. Subscribing to messages

To subscribe to messages, you need to create a subscription that will connect to the topic and receive all messages published by the topic.

The following code creates a subscription named "example-subscription" and subscribes to a topic named "example-topic":

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use GoogleCloudPubSubPubSubClient;

$pubsub = new PubSubClient();

$topic = $pubsub->topic('example-topic');

$subscription = $topic->subscription('example-subscription');

if (!$subscription->exists()) {
    $subscription->create();
}

$messages = $subscription->pull();

foreach ($messages as $message) {
    echo $message->data() . PHP_EOL;
    $subscription->acknowledge($message);
}

In the above code, first use "vendor/autoload .php" file.

Then, use the "GoogleCloudPubSubPubSubClient" class to instantiate a PubSub client object.

Then, use the $pubsub->topic() method to get a pointer to the topic named "example-topic". Then, use the $topic->subscription() method to get a pointer to the subscription named "example-subscription".

If the subscription does not exist, use the $subscription->create() method to create the subscription.

Use the $subscription->pull() method to pull messages from the subscription. The $subscription->pull() method will return an array containing the returned message objects.

If a message is received, loop the message array, output the message content, and use the $subscription->acknowledge() method to confirm that the message has been consumed.

Note: The pull() method blocks until a message is received or the timeout is reached. If you want to wait for new messages, you can use the acknowledge() method to acknowledge received messages.

5. Conclusion
