This library does the same work as NODE's socket.io but it runs on PHP and has similar functionalities.

Android functionalities have been added, please check the documentation website for android integration.

You can chat with yourself by using different browser tabs or different devices entirely

Note: it does not use any form of storage by default - no cookies, no session, no database - just direct communication between different clients and servers.

FAQs:
- You can build a one-on-one chat with this
- You can run it on your localhost
- You can connect with an android/IOS client (if you know the how)
- To run the server on your server, you need to know PHP CLI

Basic Example

Advanced Example

Though the clients are written in html, you can actually write a client using android - i shall likely provide a JAR library for this very soon.

You can read the documentation here - http://dhtml.github.io/phpsocket.io/

If you are interested in the android integration - please check here - http://dhtml.github.io/phpsocket.io/#android
Contributors: please go ahead and fork the code on https://github.com/dhtml/phpsocket.io/

Ftc things, space booked...i dedicate this space to my ubuntu 16.04 lts.

Rasmus Lerdorf surely knows you Exist brother.....
Besides Throlling, You have this Innovative mindset....

Nice one @DHTML18

Thanks dudes, trolling continues. . .

this is cool. I was looking for a way to use it in php recently. Nice work

Thanks dude, i have just uploaded the android library client and library online as well.

Good job @dhtml18.

Please provide the Android library link. I will like to look into it and possibly write a tutorial about it on my blog.

Looking forward to the Android Library.

The android library is available on the same link - http://dhtml.github.io/phpsocket.io/#android (i have updated the original post)

I provided the compiled jar, and the module/library source code as well (for advanced user).

I look forward to your contributions to this library. It is not very easy to write a library, and document it fully.

I need assistance on the documentation, the documentation is meant to be really extensive, but no time to check time (and troll at the same time).

signalR does a better job....

signalR does a better job....

Then answer the following questions properly in order to make your point:
1. What is your basis of comparison?
2. What is the relationship between the two solutions?
3. What is your reason for mentioning a .NET solution on a PHP thread?
4. Have you deployed the two solutions to know which is better?
5. Do you want to start a nairaland e-war? if that is true, i am ready to derail this thread and convert it to a WAR THREAD.

In case you are not aware, my library is a replacement for signalR (.NET) and socket.io (NODE.JS) as far as PHP is concerned. So your comment is hereby nullified as baseless, and I am charging you with the following:
- 1 count of ignorance
- 1 count of running mouth in a recursive loop
- 1 count of talking out of point

judgement: banishment from this thread (or risk an e-war)

As far as i am concerned, you just want to run your mouth anyhow - and I am very good at helping people clip their mouths.

lol....

^^^Oya jor, make we start WAR JOR, the board is just too gaddamn boring. . . . . . . . .the only thing trending is a sach engine wey no fit find a common goat!!

wetin come be this socket and library stuff?
somebody plz explain b4 i go beserk right here, now or pronoun!

^^^my brother, what i did was to rewrite http://socket.io which is in NODE.JS into a PHP/javascript/android solution.
http://signalr.net/ is a .NET alternative that does the same thing.

did u ask yourself if signalr can b used in php/Java script even though it is a dot net solution?...lol dhtml biggest open source contributor on nairaland, dhtml biggest e-warlord on nairaland,dhtml d mouthed programmer ,I admire ur hustle ....I doff my hat

You have failed to answer my questions - instead you are trying to side-track me (a nairaland tout, troll and e-war lord at the same time)

Explain why you said signalR is better. And now you mention that signalR can be used in PHP - please explain how.

Because according to http://signalr.net/:

ASP.NET SignalR is a new library for ASP.NET developers that makes it incredibly simple to add real-time web functionality to your applications.

I did not see PHP there o. Maybe it is another signalR that you are saying.

**pull my e-sofa closer, periscope shld an obstacle obstruct my view, put on my glass equiped with zooming lenses, a shield and bullet proof vest on, a glass of chilled mead. while i watch this e-war take place between my oga and deranged whatever he calls himself **

ROUND ONE FIGHT!...

I am currrently leading this battle:

He said signalR is better but when i asked the following questions:
1. What is your basis of comparison?
2. What is the relationship between the two solutions?
3. What is your reason for mentioning a .NET solution on a PHP thread?
4. Have you deployed the two solutions to know which is better?

He scored 0/4 (fail) - unless he can redeem himself

5. He said signalR can be used for PHP. But he has not told us how.

@dude, oya defend yourself immediately before we declare a walk-over.

Walk-over kwa, chai wallahi i wanting to watching a hot shizzy e-action movie this afternoon.

I am sure the table will soon be over-turned as the dude is still packing e-ammunition to come and deal me a strong blow.

Dhtml, thumbs bro. This is really good. I will play with it some more.

And so what? your point being?

It is like someone building a blog and you are saying - there is linda ikeji now?
or someone building a forum and you are saying - there is nairaland now?
or someone trying to learn php and you are saying there is .NET now?
or someone trying to learn JAVA and you are saying there is Python now?


Sorry for the ban jare - i did not know it was you jor.

There is also https://github.com/ghedipunk/PHP-Websockets (which is what i really extended in a way).
