msg_get_queue

If you are getting the following message (on Linux):
Warning: msg_get_queue() [function.msg-get-queue]: failed for key 0x12345678: No space left on device in /path/to/script.php on line 1
aside from what [others have] suggested, you should also check and set an appropriate value for kernel parameter kernel.msgmni, e.g. sysctl -w kernel.msgmni=256

IPC_CREAT has no effect in this function. The PHP source code (file sysvmsg.c) reveals that only if msgget(key,0) fails, msgget(key, IPC_CREAT | IPC_EXCL | perms) is used.

A simple Sample to introduce Message Queue. 

<?php 
if ( sizeof($argv)<2 ) { 
        echo "Usage: $argv[0] stat|send|receive|remove msgType MSG [msg] \n\n" ; 
        echo "   EX: $argv[0] send 1 \"This is no 1\" \n" ; 
        echo "       $argv[0] receive ID \n" ; 
        echo "       $argv[0] stat \n" ; 
        echo "       $argv[0] remove \n" ; 
        exit; 
} 

$MSGKey = "123456" ; 

## Create or attach to a message queue 
$seg = msg_get_queue($MSGKey) ; 

switch ( $argv[1] ) { 
    case "send": 
        msg_send($seg, $argv[2], $argv[3]); 
        echo "msg_send done...\n" ; 
        break; 
        
    case "receive": 
        $stat = msg_stat_queue( $seg ); 
        echo 'Messages in the queue: '.$stat['msg_qnum']."\n"; 
        if ( $stat['msg_qnum']>0 ) { 
            msg_receive($seg, $argv[2], $msgtype, 1024, $data); 
            var_dump($msgtype); 
            var_dump($data); 
            echo "\n"; 
        } 
        else { 
            echo "No Msg...\n"; 
        } 
        break; 
    
    case "stat": 
      print_r( msg_stat_queue($seg) ); 
        break; 
        
    case "remove": 
        msg_remove_queue($seg); 
        break; 
} 
?>

If you are getting this message on your *NIX box:
Warning: msg_get_queue() [function.msg-get-queue]: failed for key 0x12345678: No space left on device in /path/to/script.php on line 1
you may use the command "ipcrm" as root to clear the message queue. Use "man ipcrm" to get more info on it.
The default setting for maximum messages in the queue is stored in /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_max. To increase it to a maximum of 100 messages, just run:
echo 100 > /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_max
Please ensure to follow a good programming style and close/free all your message queues before your script exits to avoid those warning messages.

Lack of IPC_EXCL makes me unhappy. Of course, you can use ftok() to generate a unique key. This code is not allmighty, another process under the same user can open the queue and function returns true. But in some situation it could help.

code:

<?
function ipcEXCL($res,$perm)
{
 $pole = msg_stat_queue($res);
 
 if($pole['msg_perm.uid']==posix_getuid() &&
    $pole['msg_perm.gid']==posix_getgid()  &&
    $pole['msg_perm.mode']==$perm  &&
    $pole['msg_stime']==0  &&
    $pole['msg_rtime']==0  &&
    $pole['msg_qnum']==0  &&
    $pole['msg_lspid']==0  &&
    $pole['msg_rspid']==0)
        return true;
 else
        return false;
}

$res=msg_get_queue($key,$perm);

if(ipcEXCL($res,$perm))
   echo "probably I am a creator:";
else
   echo "probably not";
?>

// Here is an example of working with message queues.
// if you have forked processes, this could be a great way of passing
// out work to them
// create the message queue
// pick a file..
$key_t = msg_get_queue(ftok("/tmp/php_msgqueue.stat", 'R'),0666 | IPC_CREAT);

// it should be '2'
