Quick use
=========

[](#quick-use)

Server-side(PHP):

```

```

Client-side(javascript):

```
var sse = new EventSource('path/to/your/sse/script.php');
sse.addEventListener('event_name',function(e){
	var data = e.data;
	//handle your data here
},false);

```

Settings
========

[](#settings)

After you created the libSSE instance, there's some settings for you to control the behaviour. Below is the settings provided by the library.

```

```

Compatibility
=============

[](#compatibility)

Because server-sent events is a new standard and still in flux, only certain browsers support it. However, polyfill for server-sent events is avaliable. Also on shared hosting, it may disable PHP's `set_time_limit` function and the library may not work as excepted. There's some settings in the library that can fix it.
