Daemons in PHP as forks, is it possible to forward a WS request to such a process?

Question

PHP

There is a PHP daemon that spawns forks, which are essentially WS servers, how to access them knowing only the pid from the client, say when using JS, and is such a work model possible? If such a structure is not possible, then how can you implement the launch of a number of WS servers, each for processing its own range of clients?

Answer 1

Run them on different ports?
you can specify some parameters when connecting

var ws = new WebSocket("ws://example.com/service?key1=value1&key2=value2");

Answer 2

Look towards workerman, it should help you

Answer 3

Maybe. You must have a manager who, by the client's ID, will send his request to the desired server. The principles are about the same as for a distributed cache. There is a function that calculates the required cluster nodes, or there is a storage in which client connections with cluster nodes are stored.
