About Pheanstalk

Pheanstalk is a pure PHP 5.2+ client for the beanstalkd workqueue. It has been actively developed, and used in production by many, since late 2008.

Created by Paul Annesley, Pheanstalk is rigorously unit tested and written using encapsulated, maintainable object oriented design. Community feedback, bug reports and patches has led to a stable 1.0.0 release in 2010.

beanstalkd up to the latest version 1.4 is supported. All commands and responses specified in the protocol documentation for beanstalkd 1.3 are implemented.

Kohana Pheanstalk Module Usage:

Add to your bootstrap: 'pheanstalk' => MODPATH.'pheanstalk',

Usage Example

$pheanstalk = new Pheanstalk('127.0.0.1');

$pheanstalk
  ->useTube('testtube')
  ->put("job payload goes here\n");

// ----------------------------------------
