A PHP Library for serving multiple WebSocket services through a **single port**.

Normally, if you want to run multiple services, you would have to run WebSocket server on different ports. With DiffSocket, you can use a single port for different services.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require francium/diffsocket
```

[Tutorial](http://subinsb.com/run-multiple-websocket-services-on-same-port)

Why don't I use different ports for different services ?
--------------------------------------------------------

[](#why-dont-i-use-different-ports-for-different-services-)

Some hosting providers don't allow you to bind on multiple ports, especially if you're using a **Free plan**. An example is [OpenShift](http://openshift.redhat.com).

I created DiffSocket, because my WebSocket server is hosted on OpenShift and needed a way to serve multiple WebSocket services through a single port.

Demos
-----

[](#demos)

These different services are provided through a single WebSocket port (ws-subins.rhcloud.com:8000) :

- [Finding Value Of Pi](http://demos.subinsb.com/pi/)
- [Advanced Live Group Chat With PHP, jQuery & WebSocket](http://demos.subinsb.com/php/advanced-chat-websocket/)
- [Live Group Chat With PHP, jQuery & WebSocket](http://demos.subinsb.com/php/websocketChat)

Usage
-----

### Server

[](#server)

DiffSocket uses [Ratchet](https://github.com/cboden/ratchet) for the WebSocket server. You should learn Ratchet to create services.

- Configure server :

    ```
