So I want to make a daemon.php file which can open a port on a give ip address and request data from client.php and with the browser to listen/read to earlier pipe (Would that be a problem for the security or not?). I fount this funphp tutorial which seems to be good but is more like a cronjob, I found also function stream-socket-server but can handle only one request and then shuts down, and I really don't know where exactly to put listener.

  • That's not the way php is supposed to be working. PHP is really about request/response. There is no natural support for scripts running longer than a single request. Commented Mar 13, 2015 at 8:45
  • @pintxo No, there is a way, the PHP Built--In Server : it is created especially to help developers and for testing purposes only... Commented Mar 13, 2015 at 8:57

You can use the PHP Built-In Server

  • Add PHP to your PATH environment variable
  • Start your server on a given port, ex: php -S localhost:8000 OR
  • Start with a router script, ex: php -S localhost:8000 rt.php

    • Now, just open your browser and type; localhost:8000

    @JohniDevo, sorry i don't understand your question
    The -S from the php -S localhost:8000 rt.php is also a scipt and contains what i write earlier in my question
    The -S it is an option that means 'START' i think, in your case you have to do like this : php -S localhost:8000 daemon.php
