creating realtime applications with php and websockets
DESCRIPTION
Follow me on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/cballou or checkout my startup at http://www.pop.co. In this presentation we will overview the latest WebSockets spec before jumping into multiple interactive demos of increasing complexity utilizing the open source Ratchet library provided by React PHP. By the end of the presentation, you'll walk away with access to a github repository containing all of the presentation slides and demos ready to run yourself! Sorry about the slides spanning multiple pages; Reveal.js print to pdf had problems! https://github.com/cballou/php-websockets-demosTRANSCRIPT

SO... WHAT ARE WEBSOCKETS?Full-duplex client/server communication over TCPHackery piggybacking on HTTP handshake
, an official protocol!

OK... BUT WHY USE WEBSOCKETS?Optimized for low latency applicationsCross-origin communicationNo more AJAX pollingBecause it's flashy

WEBSOCKETS PROTOCOL HISTORY. BORING!TLDR; It's mostly security enhancements.

CLIENT SIDE: HTML5 JS APIvar socket = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8000/socketServer.php');socket.onopen = function() { console.log('Socket status: ' + socket.readyState); // send message to socket server socket.send('Hello, world!'); // close connection socket.close();};

SERVER SIDE: RATCHET ROCKSRatchet is a loosely coupled PHP library providing developers
with tools to create real time, bi-directional applicationsbetween clients and servers over WebSockets.
use Ratchet\MessageComponentInterface;use Ratchet\ConnectionInterface;use Ratchet\Server\IoServer;use Ratchet\WebSocket\WsServer;
class MyWsServer implements MessageComponentInterface { public function onOpen(ConnectionInterface $conn) { } public function onMessage(ConnectionInterface $conn, $msg) { } public function onClose(ConnectionInterface $conn) { } public function onError(ConnectionInterface $conn, \Exception $e) { }}
$server = IoServer::factory(new WsServer(new MyWsServer()), 8090);$server->run();

RATCHET SUPPORTS THE WAMP SUB-PROTOCOL
use Ratchet\ConnectionInterface;use Ratchet\Wamp\WampServerInterface;
class Demo implements WampServerInterface { public function onSubscribe(ConnectionInterface $conn, $topic) { } public function onUnSubscribe(ConnectionInterface $conn, $topic) { } public function onOpen(ConnectionInterface $conn) { } public function onClose(ConnectionInterface $conn) public function onCall(ConnectionInterface $conn, $id, $topic, array $params) { } public function onPublish(ConnectionInterface $conn, $topic, $event, array $exclude, array $eligible) { } public function onError(ConnectionInterface $conn, \Exception $e) { } public function onMessage($entry) { }}
