XMPP and receiving messages through PHP?

Question

PHP

Sat down with friends to write a small project in PHP. It was necessary to completely limit all communication within the site, we decided to take the Openfire XMPP server as a basis, it was successfully installed and works well now and everything seemed to be fine until I started integrating it with PHP.
Everything is clear with sending messages, XMPPHP does a good job here, but how you can receive messages sent to a particular user in real time remains a mystery to me.
Maybe the habravchans have thoughts on how this can be implemented using PHP?

Answer 1

Several options, periodically poll openfire for messages for the user, or use the strophejs library, which uses BOSH and long polling.

Answer 2

And to this day, for js, strophejs remains the most normal library, and nothing really has been written for php. Jaxl - the scope was large, but it was never brought to mind, there is no documentation, the raw and complex code of the library itself, there are examples but they do not work, maintenance ended many years ago. XMPPHP - not as functional as Jaxl, no documentation, no examples, last updates were sooo long ago. jabber.class.php - sharpened for php4, that's it.
And besides all this, according to xmpp, apart from the official list of XEP documents, there is practically nothing intelligible. There are a couple of ancient books and those in English, some blogs, etc.

Answer 3

And if to try Jaxl ? It seems to be able to receive messages, storing them in the MySQL database and calling callbacks. Minus - the lack of normal documentation and examples =\
