Just playing with the new Drupal 7 queues classes.

<?php
    // Get the queue, we call it EventQueue
    $queue = DrupalQueue::get('EventQueue', TRUE);

    // Print some info about the queue object
    echo '<pre>' . var_export($queue, true) . '</pre>';
    
    // Set up a data item
    $item = array('dataitem1' => 'something', 'qwe' => '123');
    echo '<pre>' . print_r($item, true) . '</pre>';

    // Insert into the queue
    $queue->createItem($item);

    // Find the number of items in queue
    echo '<pre>' . print_r($queue->numberOfItems(), true) . '</pre>';

    // Grab the next item in the queue
    $got_item = $queue->claimItem();

    // print some info about it
    echo '<pre>' . print_r($got_item, true) . '</pre>';

    // delete the item we got from the queue
    $queue->deleteItem($got_item);

    // Find out how many items are in our queue
    echo '<pre>' . print_r($queue->numberOfItems(), true) . '</pre>';

This prints out the following:

SystemQueue::__set_state(array(
   'name' => 'EventQueue',
))
Array
(
    [dataitem1] => something
    [qwe] => 123
)
2
stdClass Object
(
    [data] => Array
        (
            [dataitem1] => something
            [qwe] => 123
        )

    [item_id] => 41
)
