Open Source PHP WebSocket Servers

phpSocket.io is a PHP implementation of the popular Socket.IO real-time communication protocol. It enables real-time, bidirectional communication between web clients and servers using WebSockets, with a syntax and structure similar to the original Node.js version. Built on top of Workerman, phpSocket.io is capable of handling thousands of concurrent connections and is ideal for building chat apps, live notifications, and collaborative tools in PHP.

LaravelS is an out-of-the-box adapter between Laravel/Lumen and Swoole. LaravelS uses Swoole's Synchronous IO mode, the larger the worker_num setting, the better the concurrency performance, but it will cause more memory usage and process switching overhead. If one request takes 100ms, in order to provide 1000QPS concurrency, at least 100 Worker processes need to be configured. Create WebSocket Handler class, and implement interface WebSocketHandlerInterface. The instant is automatically instantiated when start, you do not need to manually create it.

Ratchet is a loosely coupled PHP library providing developers with tools to create real time, bi-directional applications between clients and servers over WebSockets. Write your own chat (aka "Hello World!" for sockets) application in a matter of minutes. After understanding "the new flow", event driven programming, compared to traditional HTTP request/response - writing any application on top of Ratchet becomes fast and easy. Ratchet provides many components for you to pick and choose from to easily add functionality. The component architecture allows you to focus on functionality with the ability to reuse and add or remove other component functionality. Ratchet is fully PSR-4 compliant, so it naturally plays well with others. Leveraging components from Symfony2, development should feel similar to many. Ratchet passes all WebSocket tests to ensure it works on all supported browsers.

Simple WebSocket server implemented in PHP.

Laravel WebSockets is a package for Laravel 5.7 and up that will get your application started with WebSockets in no time. It has a drop-in Pusher API replacement, a debug dashboard, real-time statistics and even allows you to create custom WebSocket controllers.

Simple and multifunctional PHP WebSocket server.

This project provides 6 new functions to PHP that are meant to interact with a websocket (RFC6455) peer. ws_get_frame_info() - Gets information about an upcoming websockets frame ws_read_frame() - Reads the data of a websockets frame from a client or server ws_send_close() - Sends a close frame to the websockets peer ws_send_ping() - Sends a ping frame to the websockets peer ws_send_pong() - Sends a pong frame to the websockets peer These functions are written in low level C so they are fast when compared with functions that are written in PHP, especially for operations like sending and receiving larger binary files.
