Show HN: PhpOverWebsocket

Also see Livewire. I'm personally not a fan, but it's a interesting direction and definitely has its advantages. It's also unfortunately rather horrible on slow connections (imagine waiting 500ms for your fancy dropdown to open).

I think the end result will be a mix of javascript for localised interactivity and html over the wire for server side stuff (ex. datatables).

HTML over the wire? So... a Hypertext Preprocessor you say?

We really have come full circle haven't we.

Looks like a neat hack, but it also looks like it has path traversal issues, so be careful with it.

  $url = $request->url;
  $path = $this->rootDir.$url;
  $env = [ ... "SCRIPT_FILENAME" => $path,...]
  $process = proc_open('php-cgi', $descriptorspec, $pipes, $cwd, $env);

This is really cool! I'll have to use it in my next PHP project.
