PHP Socket Solution

Recently, we have been providing the PHP server API for mobile applications, the previous real-time interactive data requirements are not strict (timed to send HTTP requests from the mobile phone), now the business needs change,

A real-time interactive interface is required and the socket must be added.

The server-side framework uses Yii 1.1.15, ready to add swoole extensions to meet demand.

However, the investigation found that the command line of Yii could not start swoole TCP, UDP listening port.

So, for a long time, the use of a compromise solution, socket data processing and then through the swoole responsible for forwarding HTTP requests to Yii.

Not a perfect solution, but at least faster and more secure than replacing the framework or modifying the framework's extension, without affecting the other interfaces.
