Is it possible to implement a PHP daemon that will keep a permanent connection to the websocket server?

Question

PHP

The essence of the situation:
There is a site and there is a call-center (websocket-server located on a server different from the site).
The site needs to receive up-to-date information from this web socket server, the information that the site receives is the same for all users (the number of free telephone lines).
Now it's implemented like this: each visitor, each time they go to the site's pages, establishes a connection to the websocket server via javascript and receives this data. As a result, a large number of connections are created and the websocket server crashes.
It is not possible to change anything on the websocket server.
How it should work:
A PHP daemon is launched on the site server, which establishes one connection to the websocket server and receives up-to-date information every N seconds and writes it to a file.
Question:
Is it possible to implement a PHP daemon that will keep a permanent connection to the websocket server? If so, what additional libraries are needed for this?

Answer 1

Really, there is for example daemon.io

As a result, a large number of connections are created and the websocket server crashes.

How much is big? Why is it falling? Maybe the memory is leaking somewhere?

Answer 2

try reactphp + libev as a basis for the daemon.

Answer 3

I never understood people who try to make PHP more than it is. PHP is not designed to run as a daemon.
You are thinking correctly that you are trying to write a proxy server. But PHP is a bad choice.
