How can I use Sockets io on the client side and communicate with a PHP based application on the server

0 votes
Is it possible to use Sockets.io on the client side and communicate with a PHP based application on the server? Does PHP even support such a 'long-lived connection' way of writing code?

All the sample code I find for socket.io seems to be for node.js on the server side, so no help there.

Hello @kartik,

For 'long-lived connection' , you can use Ratchet for PHP. It's a library built based on Stream Socket functions that PHP has supported since PHP 5.

For client side, you need to use WebSocket that HTML5 supported instead of Socket.io (since you know, socket.io only works with node.js).

In case you still want to use Socket.io, you can try this way: - find & get socket.io.js for client to use - work with Ratchet to simulate the way socket.io does on server

Hope this helps!!

Thank You!!
