I will still be using PHP to handle a few things on the webservers side.

Edit: Already ran into a problem...

You need to bind to a port, not connect to a server. See Grattpd or my FTP server for examples.

Here's the listen socket code I'm using:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  this.bind(0, false);
}

function onBind() {
  // this line can be used if you have a PHP script setup for
  // automatically redirecting requests to the current port;
  // see the example script in the forum post
  // requestURL("http://graalcenter.org/update.php?pass=replace_me&port=" @ this.port);
  
  // this is probably only useful if you're not using a PHP
  // script for redirection; could be a bit of a pain since
  // it's always changing.
  echo("HTTP: Bound to " @ this.optionDB.ip @ ":" @ this.port @ ", waiting for connections...");
}

function onNewClient(clientSocket) {
  clientSocket.optionDB = this.optionDB;
  clientSocket.join("http_clientsocket");
} 


and the socket's creation:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  // get server IP
  temp.req = requestURL("http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp");
  
  waitfor(req, "onReceiveData", 30);
  this.ip = req.data[0];
  
  // destroy if existing
  if (isObject("HTTPListenSocket")) {
    HTTPListenSocket.destroy();
  }
  
  // create the socket
  this.listenSocket = new TSocket("HTTPListenSocket");
  this.listenSocket.optionDB = this;
  this.listenSocket.join("http_listensocket");
}
