The rstmpw/ibmmq php library relies on a set of features thats is - as far as I was able to tell - not available in the base version of this extension, but only in a fork provided by rstmpw.
I took the liberty of trying to merge both, the php8 related changes in this version with the "mqmh" stuff in their branch to create a version that support both building for php 8.x (we use 8.1) and works with the ibmmq php lib.
While the php library itself seem to be unmaintained, I think these features may be helpful either way.
The important thing here is "I think". I know we use this thing, but I have no understanding of its internals, nor do I know what this branch exactly adds. Seems to be some newer version of message handle in a newer release of the ibm lib?
So this is really just an desperate attempt to "make the thing do things". For now, it looks pretty good for our use case, but that may vary for others. Not sure.
