pulse-php-discover
==================

[](#pulse-php-discover)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

PHP 5.4 or higher.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org):

```
composer require cebe/pulse-php-discover

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Run multiple of these and watch them connect to each other:

```
php test.php

```

If you have pulse installed in your network it will also take part in the party :)

This is only the discovery protocol so nothing is going to be shared between the nodes, the only thing that happens is that they know about each other.
