send message from another PHP script

[it-can]

Hi Nico,

thanks for your websocket tool. I use the Echo application. I want to create a php file that connect to this application and I want it to send a message... I have the following script but I can't get it to work...

$sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
$msg = 'hi';
$len = strlen($msg);
socket_sendto($sock, $msg, $len, 0, '127.0.0.1', 8000);
socket_close($sock);
?>```

Can you help me?

Hi!

Well, you cannot just open a socket and then send a message, as the server expects a WebSocket connection, which has a special handshake and message framing (this is what the server is all about). I'm not sure if there is a PHP WebSocket client, this would not make too much sense...

For your usecase, you don't need a WebSocket server but a simple TCP server I think..
