Laravel: how to process queue using Amazon SQS

Question

I am using the code below to queue emails using Amazon SQS, the message do queue up in the Amazon SQS queue but I don't know how to process it so that the emails are delivered to their recipient. I am using a shared server for my project where I have no access to SSH.

//User Registration Email
static function UserRegEmail($LastName,$FirstName,$Email){

    $user = array('LastName' => $LastName,
                'FirstName' => $FirstName,
                'Email' => $Email);

     $data = array(
        'LastName' => $LastName, 
        'FirstName'=> $FirstName,
        'senderName' => 'MyCompanyName', 
        'Email' => $Email
    );

        Mail::queue('emails.user_welcome', $data, function($message) use ($user)
        {
            $message->from( '[email protected]', 'MyCompanyName' );
            $message->to($user['Email'], $user['LastName'].' '.$user['FirstName'])->subject('Welcome!');
        });

}

You have to configure queues first to be able to use Mail::queue. There's a chapter in the docs that explains it pretty well.
I've no experience with Amazon SQS, but Laravel theoretically supports it.

Head over to /app/config/queue.php and change the config

'default' => 'sqs'

And fill in your details for connections > sqs

After that, everything should just work :)

The configuration has being done, and jobs are queuing successfully. I just want to know how to fire the jobs..

Ups I'm sorry, should have read slower... Are you able to set up cronjobs?

I know how to, is it needed?

I don't know if it really is needed, but to "run" the queue there's the artisan command queue:work. So you could have a cronjob that runs php artisan queue:work every 5 minutes or so

Don't have access to SSH cause I am on a shared sever, can't do php artisan queue:work
