Stomp::readFrame -- stomp_read_frame — Reads the next frame

### Description

Object oriented style (method):

public Stomp::readFrame ([ string `$class_name` = "stompFrame" ] ) : stompframe

Procedural style:

stomp_read_frame ( resource `$link` ) : array

Reads the next frame. It is possible to instantiate an object of a specific class, and pass parameters to that class's constructor.

### Parameters

`link`

  Procedural style only: The stomp link identifier returned by stomp_connect().

`class_name`

  The name of the class to instantiate. If not specified, a stompFrame object is returned.

### Return Values

> Note:

> A transaction header may be specified, indicating that the message acknowledgment should be part of the named transaction.

### Changelog

Version | Description
--- | ---
Stomp 0.4.0 | `class_name` parameter was added.

### Examples

Example #1 Object oriented style

`<?php
/* connection */
try {
$stomp = new Stomp('tcp://localhost:61613');
} catch(StompException $e) {
die('Connection failed: ' . $e->getMessage());
}
/* subscribe to messages from the queue 'foo' */
$stomp->subscribe('/queue/foo');
/* read a frame */
var_dump($stomp->readFrame());
/* close connection */
unset($stomp);
?>`

The above example will output something similar to:

    object(StompFrame)#2 (3) {
      ["command"]=>
      string(7) "MESSAGE"
      ["headers"]=>
      array(5) {
        ["message-id"]=>
        string(41) "ID:php.net-55293-1257226743606-4:2:-1:1:1"
        ["destination"]=>
        string(10) "/queue/foo"
        ["timestamp"]=>
        string(13) "1257226805828"
        ["expires"]=>
        string(1) "0"
        ["priority"]=>
        string(1) "0"
      }
      ["body"]=>
      string(3) "bar"
    }

Example #2 Procedural style

`<?php
/* connection */
$link = stomp_connect('ssl://localhost:61612');
/* check connection */
if (!$link) {
die('Connection failed: ' . stomp_connect_error());
}
/* subscribe to messages from the queue 'foo' */
stomp_subscribe($link, '/queue/foo');
/* read a frame */
$frame = stomp_read_frame($link);
/* close connection */
stomp_close($link);
?>`

The above example will output something similar to:

    array(3) {
      ["command"]=>
      string(7) "MESSAGE"
      ["body"]=>
      string(3) "bar"
      ["headers"]=>
      array(6) {
        ["transaction"]=>
        string(2) "t1"
        ["message-id"]=>
        string(41) "ID:php.net-55293-1257226743606-4:3:-1:1:1"
        ["destination"]=>
        string(10) "/queue/foo"
        ["timestamp"]=>
        string(13) "1257227037059"
        ["expires"]=>
        string(1) "0"
        ["priority"]=>
        string(1) "0"
      }
    }
