What are the benefits of using a Message Broker like RabbitMQ, Kafka, or Redis for communication between C and PHP applications?

Using a Message Broker like RabbitMQ, Kafka, or Redis for communication between C and PHP applications allows for asynchronous communication, decoupling the sender and receiver, ensuring reliable message delivery, and enabling scalability by handling high message volumes efficiently. 

// PHP code snippet using RabbitMQ for communication with a C application
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use PhpAmqpLib\Connection\AMQPStreamConnection;
use PhpAmqpLib\Message\AMQPMessage;

$connection = new AMQPStreamConnection('localhost', 5672, 'guest', 'guest');
$channel = $connection->channel();

$channel->queue_declare('hello', false, false, false, false);

$msg = new AMQPMessage('Hello World!');
$channel->basic_publish($msg, '', 'hello');

echo " [x] Sent 'Hello World!'\n";

$channel->close();
$connection->close();
