I'm new to web sockets.. i made my first web socket and i am having problems on running it now!
here is the code of the socket
// set some variables
$host = "127.0.0.1";
$port = 1234;
// don't timeout!
set_time_limit(0);
// create socket
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0) or die("Could not create socket\n");
if($socket){
echo "socket created .... $socket\n";
}
// bind socket to port
$result = socket_bind($socket, $host, $port) or die("Could not bind to socket\n");
if($result){
echo "socket binded ... $result\n";
}
// start listening for connections
$result = socket_listen($socket, 3) or die("Could not set up socket listener\n");
if($result){
echo "socket is now listening ... $result";
}
// accept incoming connections
// spawn another socket to handle communication
$spawn = socket_accept($socket) or die("Could not accept incoming connection\n");
if($spawn){
echo $spawn."\n";
}
// read client input
$input = socket_read($spawn, 1024) or die("Could not read input\n");
if($input){
echo $input."\n";
}
// clean up input string
$input = trim($input);
// reverse client input and send back
$output = strrev($input) . "\n";
socket_write($spawn, $output, strlen ($output)) or die("Could not write output\n");
// close sockets
socket_close($spawn);
socket_close($socket);
now how can i run this code?? i wrote on my xampp shell the following code:
php htdocs/socket/server.php -q
it displays:
socket created....Resource id #4
socket binded... 1
socket is now listening...1 Resource is #5
GET socket/server.php HTTP 1.1
upgrade: WebSocket
connection: Upgrade
Host: http://localhost
sec-WebSocket-key1: 14 53 8501 z4 5R'
sec-WebSocket-key2: S 9\ 2s63, *8460!~MO@
now how can i run it.. how can i send input to it and how can i use it with JavaScript??
i made a JavaScript code but it connect for a second and then disconnect...
here is the javascipt code:
$(document).ready(function() {
if(!("WebSocket" in window)){
$('#chatLog, input, button, #examples').fadeOut("fast");
$('<p>Oh no, you need a browser that supports WebSockets. How about <a href="http://www.google.com/chrome">Google Chrome</a>?</p>').appendTo('#container');
}else{
//The user has WebSockets
connect();
function connect(){
var socket;
var host = "ws://localhost:1234/websocket_source_files/myown.php";
try{
var socket = new WebSocket(host);
message('<p class="event">Socket Status: '+socket.readyState);
socket.onopen = function(){
message('<p class="event">Socket Status: '+socket.readyState+' (open)');
}
socket.onmessage = function(msg){
message('<p class="message">Received: '+msg.data);
}
socket.onclose = function(){
message('<p class="event">Socket Status: '+socket.readyState+' (Closed)');
}
} catch(exception){
message('<p>Error'+exception);
}
function send(){
var text = $('#text').val();
if(text==""){
message('<p class="warning">Please enter a message');
return ;
}
try{
socket.send(text);
message('<p class="event">Sent: '+text)
} catch(exception){
message('<p class="warning">');
}
$('#text').val("");
}
function message(msg){
$('#chatLog').append(msg+'</p>');
}//End message()
$('#text').keypress(function(event) {
if (event.keyCode == '13') {
send();
}
});
$('#disconnect').click(function(){
socket.close();
});
}
}//End connect()
});
</script>

The socket_accept-function will block (wait) until a client connects to it. That's it's standard behavior.
But the functions you execute after you've connected your socket don't block (unless you tell them to). So you'll want to tell your script to wait until it can read from the Socket.
To do so, the socket_set_block-function is used. Also, you might want to check for any possible errors using the socket_last_error-function.
Although, I think Java or C are way bedder suited for using Sockets.
