I recently downloaded and tried out a basic chat app with Node.js:
https://github.com/socketio/chat-example
The app is functioning properly.
The server-side code is quite straightforward:
var app = require('express')();
var http = require('http').Server(app);
var io = require('socket.io')(http);
var port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.get('/', function(req, res){
res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});
io.on('connection', function(socket){
socket.on('chat message', function(msg){
io.emit('chat message', msg);
});
});
http.listen(port, function(){
console.log('listening on *:' + port);
});
Now, I'm wondering if something similar can be achieved using PHP.
I've come across:
https://github.com/swoole/swoole-src
https://github.com/reactphp/socket
Are there any other frameworks available for this purpose?
However, I'm unsure about their reliability and stability as an alternative. Any insights would be appreciated!
Thank you!
