Getting started with ReactPHP – Pushing Real-Time Data to the Browser
summary
Builds a working TCP chat server and a single-file HTTP server that streams Server-Sent Events to the browser, all in pure PHP no extensions. Uses ReactPHP core pieces: event loop, streams, sockets, promises and timers to push real-time JSON/text. Live demos show an EventSource client receiving chat messages and a concurrent HTTP client that issues three requests in roughly the same time as one (measured ~0.13s per request ≈ 8 req/s). Project is production-ready for 6+ years with ~150 projects and 300+ packages.
