I have to built a multilayer game using web-sockets. For this I have a a shared web server with Apache. Browser is not an issue I am building for modern browsers only.
I tried few example PHP and web-socket source code but no luck.
What do I need to do?
And also how to enable the PHP socket_create function? Already enables php_sockets extension in the php.ini and also the php_sockets.dll exists in the extension directory.
When I call socket_create function php says that this function is undefined.
Any kind of help is appreciated. Thanks
It seems that the command prompt was using a different configuration file for PHP.
Apache (or from the WAMP's interface) uses a php.ini that is located at:
[WAMP_DIRECTORY]\bin\apache\Apache2.2.21\bin\php.ini
If you will open this file, you may notice that the line extension=php_sockets.dll is already commented out.
Unfortunately, the CLI or command line interface is using a different configuration file which is located at:
[WAMP_DIRECTORY]\bin\php\php5.3.8\php.ini
In order to resolve it, you should comment out the line extension=php_sockets.dll and save it. Run the program after to see if the websockets again are already up and working.
