Find some PHP classes that implement the latest Websocket protocol RFC6455. This is an example implementation that I tested and that is working just fine: https://github.com/esromneb/phpwebsocket . Copy those files to your websocket subfolder (e.g. /websocket)

The steps are:

  1. Run the server side PHP (e.g. php -q websocket.demo.php). Use a previously unused socket port.
  2. Connect to the server using a client HTML with Javascript websocket code. In your Javascript code use the port that you specified for the server (e.g. localhost/websocket/client.html)
