  Old  PHP Socket Programming

Any one knows a very good socket programming tutorial? I am building a chat but want to create both public rooms and im using websockets. I don't want to download any classes or etc just want to know how to do it myself. The tutorial should also show how to allow multiple users to connect simultaneously.

Thanks

You are combining a number of things into one concept. Sockets is going to be specifically the network communication, the other areas of the chatroom are other topics entirely. However in the context of a chatroom I don't understand why you would need sockets at all. A quick Google search came up with this which might help: http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorial...Chat-Systems/1

I already know how to create a chat with php just not using sockets. I have a particular reason for doing so...anyways. I created a socket server but have trouble allow several connections here is the code :

PHP Code:
<?php

// show errors
error_reporting(E_ALL);

// prevent timeout
set_time_limit(0);

// host IP and port
$hostIP "127.0.0.1";
$hostPort 1234;

echo 
"Connecting to "$hostIP ." ...\n";

// create socket and socket handle
$tchekemsock socket_create(AF_INETSOCK_STREAM0) or die("error: could not create socket\n");

// bind socket to IP and port and binded socket handle
$result socket_bind($tchekemsock$hostIP$hostPort) or die("err: could not bind socket to IP and port\n");

if (
$result){
    echo 
"Socket binded...\n";
    }

/* 
    determine max number of connections
    and start listening 
*/
$result socket_listen($tchekemsock5) or die("error: socket listening failed!\n");

if (
$result){
    echo 
"Listening...\n";
}

/*
    accept incoming client connections
    spawn another socket for communication
*/
$spawn socket_accept($tchekemsock) or die("error: could not accept incoming connection\n");

if (
$spawn){
    echo 
"Client connected!\n";
}

function 
sendmsg($socket$msg){

        if (
$socket){
            
socket_write($socket$msgstrlen($msg));
        }
}

sendmsg($spawn"Connection to Tchekem successfull!\n");


do {

     
/*
        read client input
        and determine max client input to read in bytes
    */
    
    
$input socket_read($spawn1024) or die("error: could not read input\n"); 

    if (
trim($input) != ""){
        
                
        
// input 
        
echo "input: ".  $input ."\n";
        
        
// if client enters end close socket
        
if (trim($input) == "end"){
        
            
sendmsg($spawn"socket clossing...");
            
socket_close($spawn);
            break;
//        }else{
                
            // reverse and send back input to client
            
$output "\nresponse >" strrev($input) ."\n";
            
socket_write($spawn$outputstrlen($output)) or die("error: Could not write to output to client");
            echo 
"sent out: "trim($input) ."\n";            
        }
        
    }
    
} while (
true);


// terminate both sockets
socket_close($spawn);
socket_close($tchekemsock);

echo 
"Socket disconnected";
I'm just testing the waters a bit with this, it is not the actual code I'll be using. Just want to make sure I understand it.
