Symfony Messenger standalone, getting retry to work

I've managed to get Symfony Messenger to work with my legacy system using RabbitMQ. It works like a charm for the most part, what I'm trying to get working now is the retry mechanism.

ChatGPT is some help but mostly it just leads me astray into the wrong alley.

This is the code I've got so far, what glue is missing to get the RetryStrategy into this setup?

class MessagesFactory {
public static function createMessageBus(): MessageBus {
$handlers = new HandlersLocator(
AbstractCommand::class => [new class {
public function __invoke(AbstractCommand $command) {
$command->execute();
}
},
]);

$transportLocator = new TransportLocator(
'async' => self::getTransport()
);

$sendersLocator = new SendersLocator(
AbstractCommand::class => ['async',
], $transportLocator);


// Build the bus with both middlewares
return new MessageBus(
new SendMessageMiddleware($sendersLocator),
new HandleMessageMiddleware($handlers),
);
}

public static function createWorker(): Worker {
return new Worker(

'async' => self::getTransport()
,
MessagesFactory::createMessageBus()
);
}

private static function getTransport($queue = 'messages') {
$connection = Connection::fromDsn(
RABBITMQDNS . $queue
);


// TODO: Where does this go??
$retryStrategy = new MultiplierRetryStrategy(
maxRetries: 3,
delayMilliseconds: 1000,
multiplier: 2.0,
maxDelayMilliseconds: 10000
);

$transport = new AmqpTransport($connection);

return $transport;
}
}

Should Laravel adopt OpenTelemetry?

OpenTelemetry (OTel) is quickly becoming the standard for observability — helping apps generate consistent data across Metrics, Events, Logs, and Traces (MELT). It allows you to track what’s happening across your system, end-to-end, and send that data to any platform (Grafana, Datadog, Honeycomb, etc.).

Laravel already gives us Telescope, which is a great tool for introspecting the application — logging requests, jobs, queries, exceptions, and more. Now, with Laravel Nightwatch on the way.

Isn’t this the perfect moment to adopt OpenTelemetry in the Laravel ecosystem?

Imagine if the framework could generate MELT data natively — and send it to Telescope, Nightwatch, or any OpenTelemetry-compatible backend without choosing one over the other.

I know Spatie is working on this direction too, which is exciting.

But should this become a first-class concern at the framework level?

What do you think? Are you using OpenTelemetry already?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

composer-attribute-collector running as a command

I have a branch ready, and I'm looking for brave souls to test the changes. Thanks for your help!

Anyone can help me with PHP routing, using MVC architecture?

Hello, so im creating a budget travel planner system using PHP PDO, in mvc architecture form. I've almost finished most of the functions and have been testing with dummy views but now I recieved the frontend from my group member and need it to link it.
However, im really struggling with that and the routing part, so can anyone help me with this, please?

for example, this is my user controller :

<?php
session_start();
require __DIR__ . '/../models/User.php';
include_once __DIR__ . '/../helpers/session_helper.php';

class UserController {

    private $userModel;
    public function __construct(){
       $this->userModel = new User;
        //  $this->userModel = new User($pdo);
    }
    // register user
    public function registerUser(){
        
        // if register button was clicked in the form  // LOOK
        if (($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') && isset($_POST['registerUser']))  
        {
            // lets sanitize the data to remove any unneccesary data
         $firstName = filter_var(trim($_POST['firstName']), FILTER_SANITIZE_FULL_SPECIAL_CHARS);
         $lastName = filter_var(trim($_POST['lastName']), FILTER_SANITIZE_FULL_SPECIAL_CHARS);
         $contactNumber = filter_var(trim($_POST['contactNumber']), FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);
         $email = filter_var(trim($_POST['email']), FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);
         $password = filter_var(trim($_POST['password']));
        // $confirmPassword = trim($_POST['confirmPassword']);

    // if ($password !== $confirmPassword) {
    //     flash("register", "Passwords do not match.");
    //     redirect("../signup.php"); 
    // }

            // initalize data
            $data = [
               'name' => $firstName . ' ' . $lastName,
               'contact_number' => $contactNumber,
               'email' => $email,
               'password' => password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT),
                'role' => 'user'
            ];

            // validate the inputs before saving
     

            if($this-> userModel-> registerUser($data)){
                flash("register", "The account was created sucessfully!");
            }else{
                die("Something went wrong");
            }
        }
    }

and this is my index php file for the routing:

<?php
require_once __DIR__ . '/Connection.php';
require_once __DIR__ . '/controllers/UserController.php';

      $pdo = new Connection;
//    $pdo = (new Connection())->pdo;
  $controller = new UserController;

// routing for user registration
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST' && isset($_POST['registerUser']))
{
    $controller ->registerUser();
}
else {
    echo "Error";
}
?>

However, it doesnt work and I don't understand what's going wrong.

I only have about 4 days left until we need to run it and do the testing 😭😭 thank you!!

Are there any PHP dependency containers which have support for package/module scoped services?

I know that there have been suggestions and RFCs for namespace scoped classes, package definitions, and other similar things within PHP, but I'm wondering if something like this has been implemented in userland through dependency injection.

The NestJS framework in JS implements module scoped services in a way that makes things fairly simple.

Each NestJS Module defines:

* **Providers**: Classes available for injection within the module's scope. These get registered in the module's service container and are private by default.
* **Exports**: Classes that other modules can access, but only if they explicitly import this module.
* **Imports**: Dependencies on other modules, giving access to their exported classes.

Modules can also be defined as global, which makes it available everywhere once imported by any module.

Here's what a simple app structure might look like:

```
AppModule
├─ OrmModule // Registers orm models
├─ UserModule
│ └─ OrmModule.forModels([User]) // Dynamic module
├─ AuthModule
│ ├─ UserModule
│ └─ JwtModule
└─ OrderModule
├─ OrmModule.forModels([Order, Product])
├─ UserModule
└─ AuthModule
```

This approach does a really good job at visualizing module dependencies while giving you module-scoped services. You can immediately see which modules depend on others, services are encapsulated by default preventing tight coupling, and the exports define exactly what each domain exposes to others.

Does anyone know of a PHP package that offers similar module scoped dependency injection? I've looked at standard PHP DI containers, but they don't provide this module level organization. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Package Release Progressive JSON Streamer for PHP — inspired by Dan Abramov’s Progressive JSON → Laravel ready

Hey everyone,

I just released a small open-source package I built after watching Dan Abramov’s Progressive JSON video.
👉 youtube.com/watch/MaMQLNBZz64

The idea is to send a base JSON skeleton immediately, and stream placeholders progressively as your app resolves slower data (DB/API/etc).
→ Works great with React Suspense / Vue Suspense / dashboards / large APIs.

✅ Laravel ready → works with response()->stream()
✅ Vue / React friendly → tested with simple JS client
✅ Supports nested placeholders → root.nested style
✅ Breadth-first streaming (vs depth-first)

GitHub repo:
👉 https://github.com/egyjs/progressive-json-php

Would love to get your feedback — and especially curious if anyone sees other cool use cases inside Laravel apps.

Happy to answer any questions — cheers 🚀.
