What are best practices for setting up a WebSocket connection in PHP on a V-Server?

Setting up a WebSocket connection in PHP on a V-Server involves using a library like Ratchet to handle WebSocket connections. You will need to install the required dependencies, create a server file that listens for WebSocket connections, and handle incoming messages and events within your PHP code.

<?php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Ratchet\MessageComponentInterface;
use Ratchet\ConnectionInterface;

class MyWebSocketServer implements MessageComponentInterface {
    public function onOpen(ConnectionInterface $conn) {
        echo "New connection! ({$conn->resourceId})\n";
    }

    public function onMessage(ConnectionInterface $from, $msg) {
        // Handle incoming messages
    }

    public function onClose(ConnectionInterface $conn) {
        echo "Connection {$conn->resourceId} has disconnected\n";
    }

    public function onError(ConnectionInterface $conn, \Exception $e) {
        echo "An error has occurred: {$e->getMessage()}\n";
        $conn->close();
    }
}

$server = new \Ratchet\Server\IoServer(
    new \Ratchet\Http\HttpServer(
        new \Ratchet\WebSocket\WsServer(
            new MyWebSocketServer()
        )
    ),
    new \React\Socket\Server('0.0.0.0:8080', $loop)
);

$server->run();
