Managing Visibility Timeout in Amazon SQS
=========================================

.. meta::
   :description: Change the visibility timeout for messages in Amazon SQS.
   :keywords: Amazon SQS, AWS SDK for PHP examples

A visibility timeout is a period of time during which Amazon SQS prevents other consuming components from receiving and processing a message. To learn more, see `Visibility Timeout <http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSimpleQueueService/latest/SQSDeveloperGuide/sqs-visibility-timeout.html>`_.

The example below shows how to:

* Change the visibility timeout of specified messages in a queue to new values, using `ChangeMessageVisibilityBatch <http://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/v3/api/api-sqs-2012-11-05.html#changemessagevisibilitybatch>`_.

All the example code for the AWS SDK for PHP is available `here on GitHub <https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/master/php/example_code>`_.

Credentials
-----------

Before running the example code, configure your AWS credentials, as described in :doc:`/guide/credentials`.
