Linux message queue between php & C

[sjlacroix]

I'm working on a app that requires IPC (Message queues) between a C prog & php. The problem I'm running into is that the vars sent to the queue via php are represented like so comming into the queue:
From php: Test
In the Q: s:4:"Test"

Is their a way to Just have it send the word Test and not all the php var struct with it? I really don't want to have to build a parser for it.

How are you placing items in the queue? The string you're describing looks like a standard PHP variable serialization string.

Just sending the var to the to queue directly.

msg_send ($this->key_t, $this->MsgType, $var, true, false, $msg_err)

Also tryed just sending text directly via "Test":
msg_send ($this->key_t, $this->MsgType, "TEST", true, false, $msg_err)

You're telling it to serialize the variable in your function invocation. The first TRUE value tells send_msg to serialize.

That will teach me to read the functions description.
