Introduction

A multi-user multi-room ratchet server.

Requirements

This library package requires PHP 5.4 or later.

Installation

Installing via Composer

The recommended way to install php-chat is through Composer.

# Install Composer
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Next, run the Composer command to install the latest version of php-chat:

composer.phar require anders/php-chat

After installing, you need to require Composer's autoloader:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Usage

An example is provided in the example/ directory. Start the server with the command:

php example/server.php

An barebones example HTML client interface is located at example/client.html. You will need to update the chatUrl variable in example/chat.js with the host name (or ip address) of the server you ran the previous command on.

var chatUrl = 'ws://your-host-name:9911';

A prettier React and Semantic UI client interface is located at pmill/react-chat.
