How to run php socket server in linux hosting

Question

i have implemented a socket server in localhost

script i used is from http://www.sanwebe.com/2013/05/chat-using-websocket-php-socket

script is

$host = "localhost"; //host
    $port = 9099; //port
    if(isset($argv[1]))
    {
        $host = $argv[1];
    }
    if(isset($argv[2]))
    {
        $port = $argv[2];
    }
    $null = NULL; //null var
    $ips=array();
    //Create TCP/IP sream socket
    $socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
    //reuseable port
    socket_set_option($socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1);

    //bind socket to specified host
    socket_bind($socket, 0, $port);

//listen to port
socket_listen($socket);

//create & add listning socket to the list
$clients = array($socket);
$clients_ip=array();
//start endless loop, so that our script doesn't stop
while (true) {
    //manage multipal connections
    $changed = $clients;
    //returns the socket resources in $changed array
    socket_select($changed, $null, $null, 0, 10);


    //check for new socket
    if (in_array($socket, $changed)) {
        $socket_new = socket_accept($socket); //accpet new socket
        socket_getpeername($socket_new, $ip);
        $clients[] = $socket_new; //add socket to client array
        $clients_ip[$ip] = $socket_new;
        $header = socket_read($socket_new, 1024); //read data sent by the socket
        perform_handshaking($header, $socket_new, $host, $port); //perform websocket handshake

         //get ip address of connected socket

            $ips[]=$ip;
        $response = mask(json_encode(array('ip'=>$ip,'type'=>'c', 'message'=>$ip.' connected','ips'=>$ips))); //prepare json data

        send_message($response); //notify all users about new connection

        //make room for new socket
        $found_socket = array_search($socket, $changed);
        unset($changed[$found_socket]);
    }
//print_r($changed);exit;

i run this program in xampp shell like

php -q path-to-server\server.php

i have a server with shell support But when i run script

php -q path-to-server\server.php

it works but when shell is closed server will close automatically

so how to run this server continuously with out automatically closing?

i have a linux hosting package

Answer 1

Use this code,

php -f server.php

if you want to run continusely in banground you can use nohub

nohup php server.php &

if want to kill the process you use kill

kill processid

Answer 2

you can run in terminal

php filename.php
