Line 20 of client.html, set this to your server. Run testwebsock.php from your server's command line. ??? Profit.

Hello Sir. I have tried as you sugessted. At testwebsock.php, i change port no to
$echo = new echoServer("127.0.0.1","9000");

then at client line 20 i set have
var host = "ws://127.0.0.1:9000"; // SET THIS TO YOUR SERVER

when I cd into the root directory and type testwebsock.php from the command prompt and run the chat app, the two broswer are not communicating via chat

I have also tried
$echo = new echoServer("127.0.0.1","9000/echobot");
I cannot get it to work Sir. Please can you help me further. Thanks

Please paste the output that you see when you run testwebsock.php. Also, unless you have a reason to restrict your server's listening address to only be able to listen on the localhost loopback address, I suggest keeping it at 0.0.0.0. I assume that your next step in figuring out websockets will be to try to connect from another computer on your network, and if your server is only listening to local requests, you won't be able to connect from another computer.

Now I leave it at $echo = new echoServer("0.0.0.0","9000");

If type testwebsock.php at command prompt, it will just open the the testwebsock.php script

if run php testwebsock.php at command prompt. it will display error in the screenshot below

I think the issue is the right command for starting the server. Am running php version 7.2.10

[ghedipunk]

$echo = new echoServer("0.0.0.0","9000"); should be $echo = new echoServer("0.0.0.0","9000", 1048576); Sorry, I don't remember when it was changed. Obviously the example needs to be updated.

I have added the line of code but it shows another error in the screenshot below

[ghedipunk]

Three options: Find the line in your php.ini that says ;extension=php_sockets.dll and remove the semicolon at the start of that line. I give a good 90% chance that this will work. If not, get the latest version of PHP from https://windows.php.net/, and set this version to be the one pointed to by your PATH environment variable. Edit its php.ini to enable the sockets extension as above. This will most definitely work, but I don't offer support on how to install and update PHP. Try this if you're confident in your abilities, or have a friend or co-worker who can help you fix it if things go wrong. (It's a good thing to learn, so I suggest doing this sooner or later, but messing with the PATH variable could cause problems, so don't do it unless you know what you're doing, or have someone to help you out.) Or, the third option is to run a Linux server and use its package management system to install PHP and the sockets extension. This is well beyond my scope of support, but is an essential skill for any web developer.

I have uncomment it in the php.ini and restart apache and the server gets started as can be seen in the screenshot below

Now when I run client.html am having the error below which is now caused by user.php

[areaboy]

please Sir, any further help

[dan-english]

websockets.php change

$user = new $this->userClass(uniqid('u'), $socket);

to

$user = new $this->userClass(uniqid('u'), $socket, 1048576);

testwebsock.php change

$echo = new echoServer("0.0.0.0","9000");

to

$echo = new echoServer("0.0.0.0","9000", 1048576);

and enable the sockets extension in php.ini should be enough to get you up and running (I'd make a PR but lacking perms)

If someone submits a pull request, I'll actually log in to approve it. (Won't be quick, I've gotta dig my one-time-use tokens out of hiding, as the U2F dongle I'd had before went through the washing machine a couple too many times.)

Couldn't push a branch up to create a PR off...regardless that should be enough to get @areaboy up and running.

[areaboy]

Thanks for helping me so far.
I have added all the codes as suggested by Sir dan-english. Now the app successfully runs without error.
But there a new issue. when I chat by opening two browser pointing to the same url**(mozila and chrome)**.
If am chating from one browser(Chrome), its not reflecting in the other(firefox) and vice versa.

I discovered that both sent message and Recieved message are appearing on the same senders chatbox.

here is the screenshot

here is the link to the chat files at google drive link

Between. Thanks
