I created example how to comunnicate with programe written in C throught messages queues. First run C program (it will create queue) then PHP script.
C code compile with: gcc -std=c99 -o test_queue test_queue.c
test_queue.c:
/**
* Example how to use System V Messages Queues with PHP and C program.
* This is simple server which create message queue and receive message from it.
* Based on Beej's Guide to Unix IPC

/* Buffer struct for receiving messages */
struct php_buf {
long mtype;
char msg[200];
};
int main(void)
{
struct php_buf buf;
int msqid;
key_t key;
/* Generate key (/var/www/index.php must be accessible file) */
if((key = ftok("/var/www/index.php", 'G')) == -1) {
perror("ftok");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
/* Create message queue */
if((msqid = msgget(key, 0666 IPC_CREAT)) == -1) {
perror("msgget");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
printf("Ready to get string from PHP!n");
/* Receive message */
if(msgrcv(msqid, &buf, sizeof(buf.msg)-1, 0, 0) == -1) {
perror("msgrcv");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
/* Eliminate segmentation fault */
buf.msg[199] = ' ';
printf("Recieved from PHP: %sn", buf.msg);
/* Destroy message queue */
if(msgctl(msqid, IPC_RMID, NULL) == -1) {
perror("msgctl");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

/* Generate key, param fot ftok must be same as in test_msg.c */
