GCM Push notification sending taking very long time in PHP - php

Question

I am using a class to send GCM based Push Notification from PHP. I downloaded this class from https://www.phpclasses.org/package/8987-PHP-Send-push-notifications-to-Android-and-iOS-devices.html
All things are working as expected but as the number of Android users has crossed 3K now sending push notification is taking very long time. It takes around 2 to 2 and a half hours to send Push Notification.
And I cannot refresh the page to even close the browser otherwise the operation gets aborted.
How can I increase the speed of sending Push Notification from my script.
The important part of code that I am using for sending Push Notification is give below:
if (isset($_POST['sendmessage']) && !empty($_POST['sendmessage'])) {
$errorvalid = array();
$success = TRUE;
$requiredFields = array("subject_notify" => "Please Enter Notify Subject.", "subject_main" => "Please Enter Main Subject.", "msg" => "Please Enter Message");
foreach ($requiredFields as $fld => $msg) {
$v = $_POST[$fld];
if (empty($v)) {
$success = false;
$errorvalid[$fld] = $msg;
} else {
$errorvalid[$fld] = '';
$$fld = $v;
}
}
if($success)
{
$get_result = mysql_query("SELECT ps_mobile_id, ps_service_type FROM push_service", $con);
$row_result = mysql_fetch_assoc($get_result);
$totalRows_row_result = mysql_num_rows($get_result);
echo "Total Records: ".$totalRows_row_result;
echo "<br/>";
//Set parameters to hold time out error
set_time_limit(0);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
//ob_implicit_flush(TRUE);
//ob_end_flush();
if($totalRows_row_result > 0) {
$push = new pushmessage();
do {
$MobID = $row_result['ps_mobile_id'];
$MobType = $row_result['ps_service_type'];
echo "Mobile ID: ".$MobID;
echo "<br/>";
if($MobType == 1)
{
//Android
$params = array("pushtype"=>"android", "msg"=>$msg, "registration_id"=>$MobID, "subject_main"=>$subject_main, "subject_notify"=>$subject_notify, );
$rtn = $push->sendMessage($params);
//Push the message
$rtn = $push->sendMessage($params);
}
else
{
//iOS
//$params = array("pushtype"=>"android", "msg"=>$msg, "registration_id"=>$MobID, //"subject_main"=>$subject_main, "subject_notify"=>$subject_notify, );
//$rtn = $push->sendMessage($params);
//Push the message
//$rtn = $push->sendMessage($params);
}
echo "<br/>";
print_r($rtn);
echo "<br/>";
//ob_flush(); //Push data to Browser
}while ($row_result = mysql_fetch_assoc($get_result));
//header("Location: index.php");
echo "<h2>Completed Sending Pusht Message</h2>";
echo "<br/><br/>";
echo "Rediricting.... Please wait....";
echo "<br/><br/>";
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;url=http://mypresence.in/pushtibooks/pushmsg/" />';
}
else
{
echo "NO Data";
}
}
}

You are sending push notification one by one . That's why it takes too much time. You can send group message using device id. Check this documentation .
Use below code for sending push notification to android. Same way you can do this on iOS also.
//For andriod
$get_result = mysql_query("SELECT ps_mobile_id FROM push_service where ps_service_type = 1", $con);
// $row_result = mysql_fetch_assoc($get_result);
$totalRows_row_result = mysql_num_rows($get_result);
$MobIDs=array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($get_result)){
$MobIDs[] = $row;
}
$params = array("pushtype"=>"android", "msg"=>$msg, "subject_main"=>$subject_main, "subject_notify"=>$subject_notify, );
$rtn = $push->sendMessageAndroid($MobIDs, $params)
and sendMessageAndroid($registration_id, $params)
public $androidAuthKey = "Android Auth Key Here";
public $iosApnsCert = "./certification/xxxxx.pem";
/**
* For Android GCM
* $params["msg"] : Expected Message For GCM
*/
private function sendMessageAndroid($registration_id, $params) {
$this->androidAuthKey = "Android Auth Key Here";//Auth Key Herer
## data is different from what your app is programmed
$data = array(
'registration_ids' => array($registration_id),
'data' => array(
'gcm_msg' => $params["msg"]
)
);
$headers = array(
"Content-Type:application/json",
"Authorization:key=".$this->androidAuthKey
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($data));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
//result sample {"multicast_id":6375780939476727795,"success":1,"failure":0,"canonical_ids":0,"results":[{"message_id":"0:1390531659626943%6cd617fcf9fd7ecd"}]}
//http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/http.html // refer error code
curl_close($ch);
$rtn["code"] = "000";//means result OK
$rtn["msg"] = "OK";
$rtn["result"] = $result;
return $rtn;
}
Please note that: Don't send more than 1000 device id per request. If you have more than 1000 users. then slice your MobIDs with a size less than 1000
