Answer 1

You need to download the code for the PHP library from here: http://code.google.com/p/php-amqp/downloads/list

Then cd into that folder and run the command they tell you to run.

UPDATE: That page is actually an old page, they haven't updated it in a long time. You can grab the latest amqp from http://pecl.php.net/get/amqp:

wget http://pecl.php.net/get/amqp -O amqp.tar.gz
tar -zxvf amqp.tar.gz
cd amqp-1.0.7    # replace this with the current version
phpize
./configure --with-amqp
make
sudo make install

Then you'll need to add the following line to your php.ini file:

extension=amqp.so

Let's make life easier, we have tow options:

1. If you're using Debian, you can easily install the AMQP extension for PHP with the following command (adjust the PHP version to match your setup):

    sudo apt install php7.4-amqp

^{This command not only installs the extension but also takes care of enabling it in your php.ini configuration file.}

2. Another option is to install the extension via PECL using this command:

    pecl install amqp

After a successful installation, make sure to add the following line to your php.ini configuration file (be sure to provide the full path to the extension): extension = amqp.so

^{This allows PHP to recognize and load the AMQP extension.}

php7.4-amqp for relevant versions etc – Jonas

Answer 3

You cannot use the "Symfony\Component\Messenger\Bridge\Amqp\Transport\Connection" as the "amqp" extension is not installed.

 sudo apt install php-amqp -y

Answer 4

You are missing the required libraries and tools to compile a PHP extension.

On Debian/Ubuntu you can get them with:

sudo apt-get install php5-dev

Actually I've spent a whole day trying to install the extension in my production machine and I still didn't manage to install it. Why aren't there precompiled downloads of the extension for the most popular distros? It's absurd that I have to install a bunch of development tools in the production server just to be able to install one library. Now I'm stuck. – Sandry

php5-dev would install other things which you do not want to have on a production machine. – Lorinalorinda
