Webserver
Pure-PHP Web Server. No NGinX or PHP-FPM needed.
About Webserver
A pure PHP web server. No nginx, no Apache, no php-fpm. One process serves static files, PHP scripts, WebSocket connections, and a live dashboard. With --workers=N , persistent workers match fpm's per-request speed at over 100× the concurrent capacity.
See BENCHMARKS.md for full methodology and reset.md for what gets reset between requests.
PHP execution .php files in document root run in-process or via pre-fork worker pool
WebSocket Socket.IO v5 compatible + bare WebSocket. Server→client RPC. Client JS served at /Q/socket.js and /socket.io/socket.io.js .
Rooms Process-per-room shared state, tick timers, broadcasting. Members join/leave, room state in PHP arrays.
