Using PHP with Socket.io

It may be a little late for this question to be answered, but here is what I found.

I don’t want to debate on the fact that nodes does that better than php or not, this is not the point.

The solution is : I haven’t found any implementation of socket.io for PHP.

But there are some ways to implement WebSockets. There is this jQuery plugin allowing you to use Websockets while gracefully degrading for non-supporting browsers. On the PHP side, there is this class which seems to be the most widely used for PHP WS servers.
