Php-sockets is a project mainly written in PHP, it's free.
An experiment to see how far sockets can be pushed in PHP and HTML5.
php-sockets is a simple chat client to see how far sockets can be pushed in PHP. The server end uses pure PHP, and the client end uses HTML5 websockets with a flash XMLSocket fallback.
This is an EXPERIMENT. Don't even let it get anywhere near a live server.
