WebUserQueue

Introduction

This is a web user queueing system written in PHP with a MySQL backend designed to run on shared hosting.

It was designed to allow one user at a time to control of the EMF Roamer, an internet controlled robot.

If users provide a phone number and close the page after joining the queue, they will be sent an SMS using Vonage when it's their turn.

Installation

To make full use of the SMS delivery, you'll need to create a Vonage account.

To install the PHP library to your project, copy the PHPWebUserQueue to your server and rename settings.template.php to settings.php, then edit it:

$selfdrive = TRUE; //Allow user page requests to self drive the worker in order to keep things running faster
$timeout =3*60; //Time in seconds, how long a session lasts
$noshowtimeout = 2*60; //Time in seconds their place at the front of the queue will be held
$sqlserver = "localhost";
$sql_db = "queuetest";
$sql_user = "queuetest";
$sql_pass = "abab";
$nexmokey = "abab";
$nexmosecret = "abab";

Create a database on your MySQL server with an associated user, then run the setup script:

http://[your site]/PHPWebUserQueue/setup.php

Usage

Include the library file:

include '../PHPWebUserQueue/WebUserQueue.php';
