I'm creating a Twitter client, and I need to handle the tweets coming from each streaming processes (started with Symfony's Process component). I have a websocket server running in the background which works perfectly.
My problem is that I don't know how should I get the data streamed from these processes and pass back to the client through the socket. To keep checking an read the the output I need to create a while loop for it, but that will prevent other users to start their stream, because the socket server will stuck at that loop.
If possible, I want to avoid the using of DB queues.
The server, started from terminal:
class StreamServer extends \WebSocketServer
{
/**
*
* Called immediately when the data is recieved.
*
* @param $user
* @param $message
*/
protected function process($user, $message)
{
var_dump($user);
}
/**
* Called after the handshake response is sent to the client.
*
* @param $user
*/
protected function connected($user)
{
$streamer = new Process('php Streamer.php');
$streamer->setTimeout(null);
$streamer->start();
$this->send($user, 'tweets');
}
/**
* Called after the connection is closed.
*
* @param $user
*/
protected function closed($user)
{
$this->disconnect($user->socket);
}
}
$echo = new StreamServer("127.0.0.1", "9000");
try {
$echo->run();
} catch (Exception $e) {
$echo->stdout($e->getMessage());
}
Streamer:
class Streamer
{
public function run()
{
// $this->user = $user;
echo 'hello';
$config = [
'oauth' => [
'consumer_key' => '**',
'consumer_secret' => '**',
'token' => '**',
'token_secret' => '**',
],
];
$floodgate = Floodgate::create($config);
$handler = function ($message)
{
var_export($message);
};
$generator = function ()
{
return [];
};
$floodgate->user($handler, $generator);
}
}
$stream = new Streamer();
$stream->run();
