$data2 = array("a" => 1, "b" => 2, "c" => 3);
$packer = new \MessagePack(false);
$packed1 = $packer->pack($data1);
$packed2 = $packer->pack($data2);
$unpacker = new \MessagePackUnpacker(false);
$buffer = "";
$nread = 0;
//Simulating streaming data :)
$buffer .= $packed1;
$buffer .= $packed2;
while(true) {
 if($unpacker->execute($buffer, $nread)) {
 $msg = $unpacker->data();
 var_dump($msg);
 $unpacker->reset();
 $buffer = substr($buffer, $nread);
 $nread = 0;
 if(!empty($buffer)) {
