PHP support

[wilianmaique]

Why not create support for php as well? I checked the documentation and it has almost every language, and in PHP it is also possible, I am willing to help etc and always keep it updated.

We have a base version but only support for 2.x <

Why not use PHP? php will never be dead :)

Hi!

I am willing to help etc and always keep it updated.

How about contributing to the existing repository directly? The maintainer seems open to help: walkor/phpsocket.io#262 (comment)

The protocol updates from v2 to v3/v4 are listed here:

• https://github.com/socketio/engine.io-protocol#from-v3-to-v4
• https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-protocol#difference-between-v5-and-v4

There's also a test suite to check the compliance of a server implementation: https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-protocol#test-suite
