Getting Started with PHP: PHP and Flink

PHP is a popular open source server-side scripting language. It is recommended that beginners learn the PHP Getting Started Guide to understand the relationship between PHP and Flink.

PHP is a scripting language specifically used for web development. It is commonly used for dynamic web programming, but can also be written in a command-line method. Additionally, developers can build applications and extensions using PHP to enhance their functionality.

Flink is a big data processing framework that can handle both real-time and batch data processing. This data can come from a variety of sources such as Hadoop clusters, Kafka message queues, AWS S3, MongoDB, and Elasticsearch. Flink is characterized by unified processing of real-time data and batch data, and conversion between different data.

Now let’s take a look at how to use PHP and Flink to build data applications.

Step One: Preparation

To use PHP and Flink, you need to install PHP and Flink first. PHP can be installed by following these steps:

1. Download the PHP executable file and extract it to a specific directory.
2. Install necessary extension libraries, such as MySQL, PDO and GD, etc.
3. Configure the PHP.ini file to enable the required extensions and set parameters.

To install Flink, please perform the following steps:

1. Download the Flink binary file and extract it to a specific directory.
2. Add Flink’s bin directory to the system path.
3.Set the required parameters in the configuration file.

After the installation is complete, you can start using PHP and Flink.

Step 2: Build an application using PHP and Flink

In this example, we will build a simple real-time data processing application using PHP and Flink. The application will get data from the Kafka message queue and send it to the Flink cluster for processing. Next, we will use PHP to connect to the Flink REST API to monitor the status of the data processing process.

This is a simple PHP script for writing log messages to the Kafka message queue:

<?php
require_once('./vendor/autoload.php');

$conf = new RdKafkaConf();
$conf->set('metadata.broker.list', 'localhost:9092');

$producer = new RdKafkaProducer($conf);
$producer->addBrokers('localhost:9092');

$topic = $producer->newTopic('logs');

$message = 'This is a log message';
$topic->produce(RD_KAFKA_PARTITION_UA, 0, $message);

echo 'Message sent to Kafka
';

The above PHP script sends messages to a Kafka topic named "logs".

Next, the code will use the Flink streaming API to write a simple data processing logic. In this example, we will read the log messages from the Kafka topic and convert them to uppercase letters.

package com.example.flink;

import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.datastream.DataStream;
import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.environment.StreamExecutionEnvironment;
import org.apache.flink.streaming.connectors.kafka.FlinkKafkaConsumer;

import java.util.Properties;

public class SimpleFlinkJob {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        // set up the streaming execution environment
        final StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment();

        // set up Kafka consumer properties and create a consumer
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.setProperty("bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092");
        properties.setProperty("group.id", "test");

        FlinkKafkaConsumer<String> consumer = new FlinkKafkaConsumer<>("logs", new SimpleStringSchema(), properties);

        // get the data stream from Kafka
        DataStream<String> input = env.addSource(consumer);

        // map the data stream to uppercase
        DataStream<String> output = input.map(String::toUpperCase);

        // print the result
        output.print();

        // execute the Flink job
        env.execute("Simple Flink Job");
    }
}

The above Java code will read the log messages in the Kafka topic, convert them to uppercase letters, and print the results to the console.

Now we need to write a PHP script to connect to the Flink REST API and monitor the data processing process. The following is the PHP script:

<?php
require_once('./vendor/autoload.php');

use GuzzleHttpClient;

// create a new HTTP client for connecting to Flink REST API
$client = new Client([
    'base_uri' => 'http://localhost:8081',
]);

// request the list of running Flink jobs
$response = $client->get('/jobs/overview');

// output the status of each Flink job
foreach (json_decode($response->getBody()) as $job) {
    echo "{$job->name}: {$job->state}
";
}

The above PHP script will connect to the Flink REST API and list the status of all currently running Flink jobs.

Step 3: Run the application

To run the application, please perform the following steps in sequence:

1. Run Kafka in the command line.
2. Start the Flink cluster.
3. Run the PHP script to write log messages to Kafka.
4. Submit the Flink job to the cluster.
5. Run the PHP script to monitor the status and results of the Flink job.

The output should look like this:

Simple Flink Job: RUNNING
THIS IS A LOG MESSAGE

The above output indicates that the Flink job is running and successfully converting the log messages to uppercase letters.

Conclusion

Both PHP and Flink are very useful tools that can be used to build large and more complex applications. By studying the PHP Getting Started Guide, you can start using PHP and Flink to build efficient data processing applications. Hopefully this sample code is a good starting point for beginners.
