Are there any recommended resources or tutorials for learning more about socket programming in PHP?

One recommended resource for learning more about socket programming in PHP is the official PHP documentation on sockets. Additionally, tutorials on websites like GeeksforGeeks and Tutorialspoint can provide step-by-step guidance on how to work with sockets in PHP. 

// Example PHP code for creating a socket connection
$host = '127.0.0.1';
$port = 12345;

$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
if ($socket === false) {
    echo "Error creating socket: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error());
}

$result = socket_connect($socket, $host, $port);
if ($result === false) {
    echo "Error connecting to socket: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error($socket));
}

// Send data through the socket
socket_write($socket, "Hello, server!");

// Receive data from the socket
$response = socket_read($socket, 1024);
echo "Response from server: " . $response;

// Close the socket connection
socket_close($socket);
