# Example usage

The below example of `Zend_Queue` shows a variety of features, including queue creation, queue retrieval, message retrieval, message deletion, and sending messages.

    // For configuration options
    // @see Zend_Queue_Adapater::__construct()
    $options = array(
        'name' => 'queue1',
    );

    // Create an array queue
    $queue = new Zend_Queue('Array', $options);

    // Get list of queues
    foreach ($queue->getQueues() as $name) {
        echo $name, "\n";
    }

    // Create a new queue
    $queue2 = $queue->createQueue('queue2');

    // Get number of messages in a queue (supports Countable interface from SPL)
    echo count($queue);

    // Get up to 5 messages from a queue
    $messages = $queue->receive(5);

    foreach ($messages as $i => $message) {
        echo $message->body, "\n";

        // We have processed the message; now we remove it from the queue.
        $queue->deleteMessage($message);
    }

    // Send a message to the currently active queue
    $queue->send('My Test Message');

    // Delete a queue we created and all of it's messages
    $queue->deleteQueue('queue2');
