In what ways can utilizing an MVC framework like Illuminate affect the debugging process for PHP scripts that involve socket connections?

When using an MVC framework like Illuminate, debugging PHP scripts that involve socket connections can be simplified by separating the socket connection logic into a separate class or service. This allows for better organization of code and easier identification of issues related to socket connections. Additionally, utilizing the framework's built-in debugging tools and error handling mechanisms can help in pinpointing and resolving any socket connection problems more efficiently.

// Example of separating socket connection logic into a separate class

// SocketConnectionService.php
class SocketConnectionService {
    private $socket;

    public function connect($host, $port) {
        $this->socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
        if ($this->socket === false) {
            throw new Exception("Failed to create socket");
        }

        if (!socket_connect($this->socket, $host, $port)) {
            throw new Exception("Failed to connect to socket");
        }
    }

    public function send($data) {
        if (!socket_write($this->socket, $data, strlen($data))) {
            throw new Exception("Failed to send data to socket");
        }
    }

    public function disconnect() {
        socket_close($this->socket);
    }
}

// Example of implementing the SocketConnectionService in a controller
use App\Services\SocketConnectionService;

class SocketController {
    public function sendData() {
        $socketService = new SocketConnectionService();
        try {
            $socketService->connect('127.0.0.1', 8080);
            $socketService->send('Hello, World!');
            $socketService->disconnect();
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage();
        }
    }
}
