This is wild... PHP server with electron client.. I'm genuinely impressed. It's been many years since I worked with PHP. Back in the days before proper namespaces etc. This just blows my mind. What an incredible effort, I will definitely be helping with this project in my free time. We need more crazy projects like this!

Php is basically runtime Java these days. It's so much better than ye olden days

I don't know enough about PHP to understand this comment. Can you elaborate?

I think they're just saying its a lot like Java if Java was a interpreted language and not a compiled language.

You could have actually made this 15 years ago! As a kid I pretty much only knew PHP and Visual Basic so I made CLI servers in PHP (…lol)

You could make asynchronous servers using socket_select(), which was added in PHP 4.1.

https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.socket-select.php

There was also a third party extension that added threads to PHP 15 years ago, although it was buggy.
