Is There an Advanced Book On PHP Sockets?

[PhpBeginner2]

Hi,

I recently purchased PHP Game Programming text book which has a chapter on sockets.

I am in the process of wanting to write a video game in php, I have also search amazon.com for more books in php sockets, but there is no book with the title that specializes on php sockets.

Does anyone know of a particular book besides the one I mentioned above that deals with the subject of SOCKETS, specially an advanced book which would also include security subject when deal with sockets connections.

thanks.

This might sound weird, but you might be able to find more help on the matter from people who program in C. If I were you I would maybe ask this question in one of those kind of forum or maybe someone here will be able to help you help. All I know is I’m no expert in PHP Sockets.

I already know sockets in Java, and I can say that PHP sockets are very similar, even with more functions in PHP. One can say more flexible.

But I was hoping I could find a book that focuses specifically on PHP Sockets…please dont’ refer other languages like the other person in the previous message suggested to look into C, which it will not help since C does not emulate in HTML or in a browser as far as I know. So it is pointless to look into that.

My question is NOT asking to know more about other languages, my focus is PHP Sockets and not thing more. I need a book that focuses more into PHP Sockets.

Thanks.

In all honesty, if you are a proficient developer already, look at the php docs. I don’t personally know of an advanced book on the subject, but the docs are the best place and they tend to give examples on their use.

Outside of that, their are books in Python that deal specifically with socket programming and can output HTML. Even though you are against the recommendation of another language.
