socket.io-php-emitter

A PHP implementation of socket.io-emitter.

This project uses msgpack-php and phpredis. Make sure to have those extensions in use before trying to use the emitter.

Installation and development

To install and use in your PHP project, install it as a composer package.

To run tests, invoke make test. The current test suite will just be checking redis monitor that everything is published correctly. Some work will be put into making a better integration test suite in the near future.

Usage

Using an existing redis instance

<?php

$redis = new \Redis();
$redis->connect('127.0.0.1', '6379');
$emitter = new SocketIO\Emitter($redis);
$emitter->emit('event', 'payload str');

?>

Emitting without manually creating a redis instance

<?php

$emitter = new SocketIO\Emitter(array('port' => '6379', 'host' => '127.0.0.1'));
$emitter->emit('event', 'wow');

?>

Broadcasting and other flags

Possible flags

• json
• volatile
• broadcast

<?php

$emitter = new SocketIO\Emitter(array('port' => '6379', 'host' => '127.0.0.1'));
// broadcast can be replaced by any of the other flags
$emitter->broadcast->emit('other event', 'such data');

?>

Emitting objects

<?php

$emitter = new SocketIO\Emitter(array('port' => '6379', 'host' => '127.0.0.1'));
$emitter->emit('event', array('property' => 'much value', 'another' => 'very object'));

?>
