Getting started with ReactPHP Pushing real-time data to the browser
summary
Claims that PHP runs non‑blocking I/O with an event loop, uses promises and streams, and pushes live data to browsers via Server‑Sent Events. Implements TCP socket chat + Redis pub/sub + an HTTP server (PSR‑7) and an EventSource client; three concurrent HTTP requests finish in ~140 ms—about the same as one. Builds a single‑file distributed HTTP streaming server and a working chat demo (live restart hiccup but functions in browser). Notes ecosystem size: 300+ ReactPHP repos.
