phpSocketDaemon 1.0

phpSocketDaemon is a PHP socket daemon framework that can handle thousands of client and server connections, asynchronously, with built-in buffering, state handling, etc.

The implementation of a new TCP client or server service (or a mix thereof) with this library is very easy, and allows maximum flexibility.

Motivation for writing this library:

This project came into existence while i was writing a new, ground breaking IRC chat web application.

To deal with 1000s of concurrent, always on (comet aka hanging iframe) http (server) connections, and an equal amount of IRC client connections, plus being able to interpret and parse and delegate all the messages and events, i needed a very fast, stable, flexible and easy to use daemon library for PHP.

However no such thing existed yet, hence this library was created.
The tarbal includes a demo HTTP server implimentation, which will give you a good impression of what its capable off, and how to use this library.
