Sending multiple iPhone push notifications + APNS + PHP

apple-push-notifications, iphone, php, push-notification

Solution

This is the way I have done it finally

- Downloaded apns-php

- PHP Code

    set_time_limit(0);
    $root_path = "add your root path here"; 
    require_once($root_path."webroot\cron\library\config.php");
    require_once($root_path."Vendor\ApnsPHP\Autoload.php");

        global $obj_basic;           
        // Basic settings

        $timezone = new DateTimeZone('America/New_York');
        $date = new DateTime();
        $date->setTimezone($timezone);
        $time =  $date->format('H:i:s');


        //Get notifications data to send push notifications
        $queueQuery = " SELECT `notifications`.*, `messages`.`mes_message`, `messages`.`user_id`, `messages`.`mes_originated_from`  FROM `notifications`
                                        INNER JOIN `messages`
                                        ON `notifications`.`message_id` = `messages`.`mes_id`

                                        WHERE `notifications`.`created` <= NOW()";

        $queueData = $obj_basic->get_query_data($queueQuery);

        if(!empty($queueData)) {

        // Put your private key's passphrase here:
        $passphrase = 'Push';

        $ctx = stream_context_create();
        stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'local_cert', 'server_certificates_bundle_sandbox.pem');
        stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'passphrase', $passphrase);

        // Open a connection to the APNS server
        $fp = stream_socket_client(
            'ssl://gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195', $err,
            $errstr, 60, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT|STREAM_CLIENT_PERSISTENT, $ctx);

        if (!$fp)
        exit("Failed to connect: $err $errstr" . PHP_EOL);

        echo '<br>'.date("Y-m-d H:i:s").' Connected to APNS' . PHP_EOL;

            foreach($queueData as $val) {
                    // Put your device token here (without spaces):
                    $deviceToken = $val['device_token'];

                    // Create message

                        // Get senders name
                        $sql = "SELECT `name` FROM `users` WHERE id =".$val['user_id'];
                        $name = $obj_basic->get_query_data($sql);
                        $name = $name[0]['name']; 
                        $message = $name." : ";

                        // Get total unread messaged for receiver
                        $query = "SELECT COUNT(*)  as count FROM `messages`  WHERE mes_parent = 0 AND user_id = ".$val['user_id']." AND mes_readstatus_doc != 0 AND mes_status = 1";
                        $totalUnread = $obj_basic->get_query_data($query);
                        $totalUnread = $totalUnread[0]['count']; 



                        $message .= " This is a test message.";


                    // Create the payload body
                    $body['aps'] = array(
                            'alert'         => $message,
                            'badge'     => $totalUnread,
                            'sound'     => 'default'
                     );

                    // Encode the payload as JSON
                    $payload = json_encode($body);

                    // Build the binary notification
                    $msg = chr(0) . pack('n', 32) . pack('H*', $deviceToken) . pack('n', strlen($payload)) . $payload;

                    // Send it to the server
                    $result = fwrite($fp, $msg, strlen($msg));

                    if (!$result) {
                        echo '<br>'.date("Y-m-d H:i:s").' Message not delivered' . PHP_EOL;  
                    } else {
                        $sqlDelete = "DELETE FROM `notifications` WHERE id = ".$val['id'];
                        $query_delete = $obj_basic->run_query($sqlDelete,'DELETE');

                        echo '<br>'.date("Y-m-d H:i:s").' Message successfully delivered' . PHP_EOL;
                    }
            }
            // Close the connection to the server
            fclose($fp);
            echo '<br>'.date("Y-m-d H:i:s").' Connection closed to APNS' . PHP_EOL;
        } else {
            echo '<br>'.date("Y-m-d H:i:s").' Queue is empty!';
        }
