Hey all.
I've got an idea I'd like to kick around in PHP some to get a better grasp on sockets.
I'd like to make an IP-to-IP instant messenger client, using PHP sockets and command-line PHP, but I've got next to no idea as to how to go about doing it. I'd like it to be something where you can call it like: chat -i [ip address] and have it open a socket connection between two machines and have a real-time chat.
Anyone have any ideas/links on how I could learn to do this?
