I need to start an external process to handle the message queue, and connected to WebSocketServer and communications.

can not compile (make) with this error

Hi Payden,

I have a web application written in PHP that uses long polling to send data out to the clients, this uses one process per client, looking for changes in a DB. Returning either data or a 204 HTTP response after some timeout after which the clients connect again.

It uses a lot of resources and I have long been looking for a good way implement an event based Websocket solution, without having to redo all my existing php code.

After trying the echo example with your php-ws extension I think this extension could be very useful, but I somehow lack a method of interrupting the event loop if new data becomes available on the server.
So I would like to do one of the following if it is possible:

1. Register custom events/callbacks before calling run?
2. Make my own event loop, calling a poll method instead of run.
3. Wait for sockets to be ready for read?
4. Add a simple timer callback?

Is any of this possible?
As far as I can see I can interrupt the process with a INT signal, but that would require another process to do this or am I wrong?

Otherwise the extension works very well, and I believe it is a lot faster to handle the low level websocket details in C, rather than in a high level PHP script.
Thank you very much.
