QoS protocol analysis and reliable transmission practice of MQTT in PHP development

Introduction:
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight message transmission protocol suitable for various Network environment and equipment. It is simple, reliable, and efficient, and is widely used in the Internet of Things and large-scale distributed systems. This article will discuss how to use MQTT to implement the QoS (Quality of Service) protocol and achieve reliable transmission in PHP development.

1. Overview of MQTT and QoS protocol
MQTT is designed to provide reliable message transmission in low-bandwidth, high-latency, and unreliable network environments. It supports three levels of QoS protocols: QoS0, QoS1 and QoS2.

1. QoS0: At most one transmission, messages may be lost and reliability is not guaranteed.
2. QoS1: At least once transmission, the message will be transmitted to the receiving end, but may be transmitted repeatedly.
3. QoS2: There is only one transmission, and the message will be accurately transmitted to the receiving end to ensure reliability.

In practical applications, choosing the appropriate QoS level depends on the importance and reliability requirements of the message.

2. QoS protocol implementation of MQTT in PHP
In PHP, you can use the phpmqtt client library to implement the use of the MQTT protocol. The following is a QoS1 example code based on phpmqtt:

<?php
require('phpMQTT.php');

$server = 'localhost';  // MQTT服务器地址
$port = 1883;  // MQTT服务器端口号
$username = '';  // 用户名（可选）
$password = '';  // 密码（可选）
$client_id = 'client_id';  // 客户端标识符（唯一）

$mqtt = new phpMQTT($server, $port, $client_id);

if(!$mqtt->connect(true, NULL, $username, $password)){
    exit(1);
}

$topic = 'topic';
$message = 'Hello MQTT!';
$qos = 1;

$mqtt->publish($topic, $message, $qos);

$mqtt->close();
?>

The above code implements publishing messages to the specified topic and sets the QoS level to 1. In this example, if a network problem occurs while sending a message, MQTT will automatically retry until the message is successfully sent.

3. The practice of reliable transmission in PHP
To achieve reliable transmission of messages, it is often necessary to combine QoS protocols and actual business needs. The following is a PHP example based on MQTT and Redis, demonstrating the method of achieving reliable transmission.

<?php
require('phpMQTT.php');
$redis = new Redis();
$redis->connect('127.0.0.1', 6379);

function publishMessage($topic, $message) {
    global $redis;
    $messageId = uniqid();
    $redis->hset('mqtt_ack', $messageId, 0);
    $mqtt = new phpMQTT('localhost', 1883, 'client_id_' . $messageId);
    if ($mqtt->connect(true, NULL, '', '')) {
        $mqtt->publish($topic, $message, 1);
        $mqtt->close();
    }
    return $messageId;
}

function checkMessageId($messageId) {
    global $redis;
    $ack = $redis->hget('mqtt_ack', $messageId);
    if ($ack == 1) {
        $redis->hdel('mqtt_ack', $messageId);
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

// 发布消息
$topic = 'topic';
$message = 'Hello MQTT!';
$messageId = publishMessage($topic, $message);

// 检查消息是否发送成功
while (!checkMessageId($messageId)) {
    sleep(1);
    // 如果消息发送失败，重新发布
    $messageId = publishMessage($topic, $message);
}

echo 'Message sent successfully!';
?>

The above code uses Redis to store the status of each message. When the message is successfully sent, the status is set to 1. Reliable transmission is achieved by cyclically checking message status.

Conclusion:
This article introduces the QoS protocol analysis and reliable transmission practice of MQTT in PHP development. By rationally selecting QoS levels and combining actual business needs, stable and reliable message transmission can be achieved. At the same time, status checking based on tools such as Redis can better ensure the reliability of messages.
