Re: Making a service with php

Actually I've found a good class to use for this. http://www.php-tools.de The patServer is very useful. It has class already setup to handle a multi-thread server. Although, I wouldn't mind some help with the client though. For example. Client ===> (request) ===> Server Client <=== (response) === Server That's the standard model. How does the client capture this response? Basically, for what I want to do, the server and client has to do a lot of handshaking and data transferring. Obviously, the data transferred are encrypted (base64 with a lot of string shifts, not md5 because I need the original data). Here's the thing. The client doesn't just send data, it needs to receive too. So in this case, does the client have to function like a server too? Open the port, send data but also stay and listen on the port? Here's a basic model of 1 scenario: Client ==== (req: Auth : ClientID) ===> Server Client <==== (ans: True) ===== Server Client ==== (req: Status) =====> Server Client <=== (ans: uptime || connect_user || data_type) === Server Client ==== (req: disconnect) ====> Server Client ==== \\ ===> Server That's a basic model, since there are maybe 10 other requests the server and client have to handle. any help is greatly needed! thanks John ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sven Schnitzke" <Sven.Schnitzke@t-online.de> To: "'John Yu'" <johnyu@revolutionhosting.net> Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 4:26 PM Subject: AW: [PHP-WIN] Making a service with php > I did some experimenting with socket handling in > PHP, modifying the socket server example of the > manual. > > Basically it works, but from version to version there are > different issues, mainly concerning the behaviour with > connections going down the hard way.
