How to make websocket Read from a delphi application socket - php

Question

I implemented Websockets in my server, it works great to communicate with the server itself, but it cannot connect directly do my Delhpi application, so I thought, "I'll just make Delphi send info to PHP, then make PHP push info to the client via Websocket!", GREAT! but it doesn't work.
I'm not sure why, but I think it has something to do with 2 sockets cannot be listening at the same time, so I think I need to use Threads or something like that.
On paper it looks easy, it looks like I just need to start a Thread with my function listening my Delphi application socket, and when it receives a message, I would send this to the parent process to push the message via websocket, but I cant help it but feel like there is something wrong with this tactic.
This is the code that reads from the socket of my Delphi app:
<?php
/* Cliente */
function enviarPct($skt, $pacote){
$msg = "$pacote\n";
socket_write($skt, $msg, strlen($msg));
echo "TX: $msg";
}
error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo "Conexao TCP/IP em PHP\n";
$address = "192.168.2.26";
$port = 63333;
$sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
socket_connect($sock, $address, $port);
socket_set_option($sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_KEEPALIVE, 1);
echo "Conexao: $address:$port\n\n";
enviarPct($sock,"login||20||");
//$msg = "login||20||\n";
//echo socket_write($sock, $msg, strlen($msg));
//echo socket_write($sock, utf8_encode($msg), mb_strlen($msg, 'utf-8'));
echo "Reading response:\n\n";
while ($out = socket_read($sock, 2048)) {
echo "RX: $out";
$pct = explode('||', $out);
if($pct[0]=='sucessoLogin'){
if($pct[1]!= '-1'){
enviarPct($sock, "solicitaControladoras||||");
}
}
}
//echo socket_read($sock, 2048);
echo "Fechando\n";
socket_close($sock);
?>
And Within the websocket aplication class, this funcion push messeges to the client, more specificaly that looping with "Im Waiting X Seconds"
/**
* Start a child process for pushing data
* #param unknown_type $client
*/
private function startProcess($client) {
$this->console("Start a client process");
$pid = pcntl_fork();
if($pid == -1) {
die('could not fork');
}
elseif($pid) { // process
$client->setPid($pid);
}
else {
// we are the child
while(true) {
// check if the client is connected
if(!$client->isConnected()){
break;
}
// push something to the client
$seconds = rand(2, 5);
$this->send($client, "I am waiting {$seconds} seconds");
sleep($seconds);
}
}
}
So thats it, if somebody have an idea of what would work best for me I would be glad to listen.
