On Cyberlot's blog today, he has a new note about a project he worked up in the past that's going to be revamped - fully using what PHP5 has to offer - CyberSS.

The original CyberSS was meant purely as a learning example of how sockets worked and how to connect them to other programs, in this case flash. In expanding that example it became a open source Flash XML and PHP based chatroom that never really went anyware. It works but well and fast but since my flash is limited it was never really a feature filled chatroom, just a barebones platform for people to learn from.

Because the original version was focused on the socket aspects and the whole chat stuff was secondary extending and improving on the chat became a pain so I am recoding from the ground up to take full advantage of PHP5.

It's always good to have examples, and more advanced examples like this are few and far between it seems. I'll be interested to see what it's like when he completes the revamping - especially the integration with Flash...
