but then I will draft into new adventure of learning something new How easy is it to create such server using ReactPHP?

Hi I am newbie to PHP, I am touching it as a possible solution. I have a device at home which measures electricity consumption, it is connected to my router and also sends data using UDP to target IP and port I can specify port 9999 in my case. The data is in fixed length and structure packets, as plain text. I want to capture the data and later process it. I have Apache server on my machine at home, I can send the data to my PC and see it coming through using Netcat. But using PHP fails, and the page hung. I just copied example from PHP documentation and it supposed to be straight forward. Anyone can help? The link is for the short script I used. If it's easy I can send the data to another IP and port for someone to debug. I think this commands is the problem socket_recvfrom When I set Netcat to listen and use netstat -lpn |grep :9999 I see nothing but packets are coming through When I use PHP code as in the example I see a process listening on the port, so the behavior of Netcat and the code is different. I reached the limits of my knowledge ") Roni
