EventSource
===========

[](#eventsource)

A PHP 5.3 library for creating an [EventSource](http://dev.w3.org/html5/eventsource/) stream.

EventSource or Server-Sent-Events is a W3C specification that defines a protocol and an API for pushing data from the server to the client. This library is a server-side implementation of this protocol.

It is designed to be transport agnostic, allowing you to use it with apache directly or with other webservers, such as mongrel2.

The recommended way to install EventSource is [through composer](http://packagist.org).

Just create a composer.json file for your project:

```
{
    "require": {
        "igorw/event-source": "1.0.*"
    }
}
```

And run these two commands to install it:

```
$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ php composer.phar install

```

Now you can add the autoloader, and you will have access to the library:
