How to use Swoole to implement a high-performance instant message push system

With the continuous development of Internet applications, online instant message push has become one of the essential functions of various online applications. In traditional web applications, instant message push usually requires the use of polling, long polling and other technologies. However, these technologies have problems such as low efficiency and waste of resources. The high-performance instant message push system based on Swoole can solve these problems well.

Swoole is a PHP extension developed based on C, which provides high-performance network programming support such as asynchronous IO, multi-process, and coroutine. By using protocols such as WebSocket and HTTP in Swoole, we can easily build a high-performance instant message push system.

Below, we will introduce how to use Swoole to implement a high-performance instant message push system.

First, we need to set up a Swoole environment. Here we are using CentOS 7.6 operating system and PHP 7.2.

The specific construction process is as follows:

1. Install epel-release and remi-release sources

yum install epel-release
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm

2. Install PHP 7.2

yum install --enablerepo=remi-php72 php php-fpm php-mcrypt php-cli php-gd php-curl php-mysql php-ldap php-zip php-fileinfo

3. Install the Swoole extension

pecl install swoole

4. Configure the Swoole extension

Add the following content to the php.ini file:

extension=swoole.so

5. Start the Swoole service

We start the service through Swoole's built-in HTTP server. The code is as follows:

<?php
$server = new swoole_http_server("0.0.0.0", 9501);

$server->on("request", function ($request, $response) {
    $response->header("Content-Type", "text/plain");
    $response->end("Hello World
");
});

$server->start();

After running the above code, enter http in the browser ://127.0.0.1:9501, you can see the "Hello World" output.

Next, we will use Swoole to implement an instant message push system. The specific implementation process is as follows:

1. Define WebSocket server

We use the WebSocket server provided by Swoole to implement instant message push, the code is as follows:

<?php
$server = new swoole_websocket_server("0.0.0.0", 9501);

$server->on("open", function (swoole_websocket_server $server, $request) {
    echo "Client #{$request->fd} connected
";
});

$server->on("message", function (swoole_websocket_server $server, $frame) {
    echo "Received message: {$frame->data}
";

    // 处理消息
    handleMessage($server, $frame->data);
});

$server->on("close", function (swoole_websocket_server $server, $fd) {
    echo "Client #{$fd} disconnected
";
});

function handleMessage($server, $data) {
    // 处理消息并推送给所有客户端
    $server->push($frame->fd, $response);
}

$server->start();

In After the client opens the WebSocket connection, Swoole will automatically trigger the "open" event and output the connection information. When the client sends a message, Swoole will trigger the "message" event and call the handleMessage function to process the message. Finally, when the client closes the WebSocket connection, Swoole will trigger the "close" event and output the closing information.

2. Processing messages

In the handleMessage function, we can process the messages sent by the client and push the processed messages through the $server->push method to all clients. The specific implementation code is as follows:

function handleMessage($server, $data) {
    $message = json_decode($data, true);

    switch ($message['type']) {
        case 'login':
            // 处理用户登录事件
            // ...
            break;

        case 'message':
            // 处理用户发送消息事件
            // ...
            break;

        default:
            // 处理未知消息
            // ...
            break;
    }

    // 将处理后的消息推送给所有客户端
    $response = json_encode($message);
    foreach ($server->connections as $fd) {
        $server->push($fd, $response);
    }
}

By processing specific events according to message types in the handleMessage function, our instant message push system can be made more flexible and scalable.

3. Using Swoole coroutine

In traditional polling and long polling technologies, each connection will occupy a thread or process, which will lead to a waste of resources. and poor performance. Swoole avoids these problems and greatly improves performance by using coroutines.

The specific implementation code is as follows:

function handleMessage($server, $data) {
    $message = json_decode($data, true);

    switch ($message['type']) {
        case 'login':
            // 处理用户登录事件
            // ...
            break;

        case 'message':
            // 采用协程处理用户发送消息事件
            co::create(function () use ($server, $message) {
                // ...
            });
            break;

        default:
            // 处理未知消息
            // ...
            break;
    }
}

By using the Swoole coroutine, we can avoid the waste of resources in threads and processes, and at the same time achieve a more efficient code structure and faster speed.

To sum up, using Swoole to implement a high-performance instant message push system can avoid problems such as inefficiency and resource waste in traditional methods. At the same time, using coroutines can also greatly improve system performance. Therefore, if you need to build a high-performance instant messaging system, using Swoole will be a good choice.
