summary
From JSConf EU 2011 an experiment runs PHP from Node by talking to FastCGI fpm: it builds node.php to pipe Express routes into PHP and uses socket.io for websockets, replacing nginx for realtime. The demo is a pirate‑translation chat and a homebrew Battleship game; the system works as a proof‑of‑concept, relies on PHP 5.3/5.4 features (namespaces, closures, built‑in server), and is maintained and used regularly but not recommended for production.
