Flex and PHP with Sockets

Posted on February 24, 2010 by ryanstewart

I did an article for DZone on using Flex and PHP with Sockets that is now up. The socket server in PHP seems like something that isn’t used very often and I had a lot of fun checking it out. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to do more with it in the near future.

Ammon has a PHP flash policy daemon from 2 years ago.

I think it’s not used very much because PHP has a bad track record with long-running process (in my experience, memory leaks were the biggest issue). That may be improved lately, but it’s definitely square peg, round hole IMO
