Using php to create socket and read from it.

Hi all, i am running a php based virtual airline for a flightsimulator (free and open source) www.flightgear.org

 

i am interested in creating a page where i can have members connect to the sim via localhost and port which will then read data sent from the sims internal server.

 

i can send data via tcp by creating the port via the simulator

I can create a protocol file so the server knows what data i am requesting (in the image above there is a protocol file "squawk" already requested.

 

i know i can use fsocket_create etc or thats the theory. The socket would need to remain open from start to finish as data would be constantly changing.

 

Any pointers would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Alex
