PHP isn't meant for continuous processing, regardless of if you use SSE or WebSockets. Also it should be noted that SockJS also has Tornado and Twisted implementations, if you want to use Python. And, of course, if your extension needs to be scalable, they also have vert.x, which works with Java. *-- * *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of 2016 Major in Computer Science _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
