You may want to look at how this is done in Phabricator (http://phabricator.org/). Besides, overall being a very interesting piece of modern PHP code, Phabricator uses a very simple node.js server for websockets. The PHP code sends messages to node.js, and node.js distributes them to any listening users. Phabricator is released under the Apache license, so you can cherry pick code easily. Tom
