Android Question WebSocket full PHP solution for B4A data exchange

[peacemaker]

HI, All

Maybe anyone tried to use WebSocket peer-to-peer data exchange between B4A apps with a PHP server in the middle ?
Please, suggest any ready-to-use PHP code that is compatible with WebSocket Client Library

I don´t think that PHP is suitable as a replacement. PHP is not designed to run as a server. It is possible to run php as a server but only on your own server. Not on any hosting plans i fear...

Yes, but there are solutions. Question is who tried practically with B4A, and which PHP solution exactly.
I see that B4J server is standard server for us, but ... most low-end hostings are PHP, so needs for it.

google("websocket php server")

Do you own your own SERVER where you can run PHP in servermode?

 

[peacemaker]

Yes. And basic PHP knowledge to setup something. But what PHP-code for Websocket compatible with B4A lib is to be used...

 

[DonManfred]

I suggest to use the google search you recenctly suggested. google("websocket php server")
I did find tutorials on how it works, did you tried them?

I can´t really help on this as i never used php to setup a server.

It will difficult to implement it with PHP. You can find very low cost VPS servers.
