How to make a bot in Laravel Echo Server (Web sockets, broadcasting)?

Question

Laravel

Hello! I have an online game that uses Laravel backend and websockets (Laravel Echo Server). I need to create a bot that will impersonate a player and thus keep online when there are few people.
What should he do:

• Enter the PresenceChannel ( presence channel ) - I don’t know how to do this
  
• Depict various actions using ajax - I know how to do this
  
• Leave the channel - I don't know either
  

Those. I understand how to do the behavior of the bot itself, but I don’t know how and I can’t find on the Internet how to programmatically connect to Laravel Echo Server channels via php and server requests, integration via Socket.IO or Pusher is everywhere, but I need it directly via php without JS . Does anyone have any ideas? Or at least thoughts on how to form a request to Google?

Answer 1

Laravel Echo is a JavaScript library

Under the hood, echo still has a pusher. Client libs for pusher are publicly available - choose any and use it.

Answer 2

Re-read it again.

The block must not affect its environment
