Workerman
Asynchronous, event-driven PHP framework for building network servers that handle HTTP, WebSocket and custom socket protocols.
www.workerman.netrepositorydocs
Workerman is a PHP framework for building network servers. It handles TCP, UDP and UNIX socket connections, HTTP and HTTPS, WebSocket and WSS, and custom protocols. It is installed with Composer, and the installation guide gives the command. The project’s pages are in Chinese.
Worth knowing
Workerman runs as a long-lived process. The start and stop page describes a daemon mode that keeps running after the terminal closes, so a host has to allow a PHP process to keep running.
On Linux and macOS the requirements page lists the pcntl and posix PHP extensions; for the Windows version it lists no extensions.
