Open Source PHP Networking Software

Build high-performance, scalable, concurrent TCP, UDP, Unix Socket, HTTP, WebSocket services with PHP and easy to use coroutine, fiber API. Write your next scalable async application server with PHP coroutine and PHP fiber API. Compared with other async programming frameworks or softwares such as Nginx, Tornado, Node.js, Swoole has the built-in PHP coroutine, fiber and async support, multiple threads I/O modules. You can use sync or async, coroutine, fiber API to write the applications or create thousands of light weight fibers within one Linux process. Swoole PHP network framework enhances the efficiency of development team. The network layer in Swoole is event-based and takes full advantage of the underlying epoll/kqueue implementation, making it really easy to serve millions of requests. Swoole 4.x uses a brand new engine kernel and now it has a full-time developer team, so we are entering an unprecedented period in PHP history which offers a unique possibility for rapid evolution.

Free MySQL Load Balancing PHP script. For load balanced access to your MySQL servers when you are using MySQL replication between one (or many) master and many slaves. This script does reads on slaves and writes on master(s). It automatically checks if the challenger slave is "fresh enough" to read on it. The script is actually used in real conditions, prove of the capabilities. That also needed from me to erase some sections of the code replaced by a "TODO" commentary with instruction (you will have to adapt those few lines to your conditions). Comes with a mail alert script for errors logging and reporting, really useful for debug issues. Renaud CAMPO

Zebra_Session is a PHP class that acts as a wrapper for PHP's default session handling functions but instead of storing session data in flat files it stores them in a MySQL database, thus providing both better security and better performance. The library is also a solution for applications that are scaled across multiple web servers (using a load balancer or a round-robin DNS) and where the user's session data needs to be available. Storing sessions in a database makes them available to all of the servers! Zebra_Session's code is heavily commented and generates no warnings/errors/notices when PHP's error reporting level is set to E_ALL. Starting with version 2.0, Zebra_Session implements row locks, ensuring that data is correctly handled in a scenario with multiple concurrent AJAX requests.
