Async PHP Sockets?

[Rustywolf]

Is there a way to do this?

I have created simple PHP Sockets, but have found no resources about async

 

btw, if you didnt know, async is basically holding more than one connection.

Take a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1432477/can-php-asynchronously-use-sockets

Php doesn't allow the asynchronous socket callback functions of the same type used in other languages, so you need to write a loop that checks all the multiple connections and responds as and when they need attention.

 

Sockets can be told to act asynchronously with socket_set_nonblock. This will stop them pausing the code when a read or write is performed, if it can't then the read/write function just fails and moves on instead of waiting. There is also a function socket_select which simultaneously monitors whole arrays of sockets for read/write/exceptions.
