Thanks — very helpful, but contains an important omission.

Requires the following additional line of code in the echo server:

$server->run();

otherwise it just terminates before the client has a chance to do anything.

Nice logic! Putting the echo_server.php in the public root directory!

Hello,
I have a problem – commands sent to the server and are not correctly
recognized, 1 of 15 passes completely. Tell me how to solve the problem.
Thank you!

Hi,

I have run the file as a cron job once using:

wget http://www.wilsea.com/websockets1/echo_server.php

I get an email with the following :

0K 36.0M=0s

2013-08-14 19:52:02 (36.0 MB/s) – `echo_server.php’ saved [258]

I have changed the port to 8000 (and this is open) and the IP address in the php & html file.

I have this in the log file:

[14-Aug-2013 19:52:02 Europe/London] PHP Warning: socket_bind() [function.socket-bind]: unable to bind address [98]: Address already in use in /home/wilseayd/public_html/websockets1/websockets.php on line 22

Does this mean port 8000 is in use or is it something else?

Cheers

My client application is not browser. It’s just a gateway which has wifi stack running on it. Can I still use websockets for bidirectional communication?

In reply to michal przybylowicz. for details on the library contact the author at github. It probably hasn't been updated for many months. there are other more complete libraries like ratchet. can check them.
