Open source high-performance asynchronous PHP socket instant messaging framework - Workerman

Workerman is a high-performance PHP socket server framework based on PHP multiprocessing and libevent event polling library. PHP developers only need to implement one or two interfaces to develop their own network applications, such as Rpc services, chat room servers, mobile game servers, etc.

The goal of Workerman is to make it easier for PHP developers to develop high-performance socket based application services without having to understand the details of PHP sockets and PHP multiprocessing. Workerman itself is a PHP multiprocessing server framework with modules for PHP process management and socket communication, so it can run independently without relying on containers such as php fpm, nginx, or Apache.
