title: JS to PHP Sockets?
body: <p>I have become very comfortable with PHP and mySQL over the past couple months, but I have recently wanted to create a game (with database connections) that needs even better responsiveness then AJAX. This is where I came across sockets. I do not want to branch into Node.js (I am more comfortable with PHP servers) but PHP sockets can't be pushed information via JavaScript, which is crucial for responsive user input.</p>
  
  <p>In short, I am seeking a method with the responsiveness of sockets but that can be pushed by the client in JS and received in PHP on server, similar to AJAX but bidirectional and fast.</p>
  
  <p>Note I may be misunderstanding some of these concepts as a new member to this crazy new set of servers. Just correct and direct me please.</p>
