phpMQTT publish not working - php

Question

I have installed Mosquitto on the server, and it's running, and working fine.
I have installed Paho mqtt client plugin to check.
and I wrote the code for android and it's working fine on the emulator.
now in my own computer everything works fine, I run the php code and my app in android receives the message and Paho client receives that message too.
but when I upload the file on the server and run it nothing happens, although the php code runs everything successfully, and publishes the message without any error.
and even the mosquitto's publisher executable works fine and clients receive the message.
only this php code on the server doesn't do anything.
$mqtt = new phpMQTT("localhost", 1883, "server");
if ($mqtt->connect()) {
echo"connected\n";
for($i=0;$i<4;++$i){
if($mqtt->publish("new","Hey . ".$i,2)){
echo "published\n";
}
else{
echo "not published\n";
}
}
$mqtt->close();
}
else{
echo"couldn't connect\n";
}

Follow this library publish example and see what happens both logs: the localhost broker and the php log
