Can't connect more than one websockets simultaneously about pawl

[cboden]

Can you post all of your code so I can reproduce please? What's given isn't enough to go on.

The connect function is an abstraction to hide the event loop, which is fine for one connection, but as you've found doesn't work for multiple as it creates an event loop per call. You need to inject a single event loop into each connection.

You will need to use the Connector class instead, as seen in the second example of the README to achieve multiple connections.

This one worked for multiple connections perfectly.

But the problem of freezing still exists

If remote server is not running at the time of creating connection (calling connect_to_websocket () in below code) then the script freezes, it doesn't connect to server when server comes online, which needs force closing/canceling the script

And where to edit or pass timeout?

<?php

    require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';


    $loop = React\EventLoop\Factory::create();
    
    $connector = new Ratchet\Client\Connector($loop);

    
    $websocketURLs[] = ['url' => 'wss://echo.websocket.org', 'service' => 'websocket'];

    $websocketURLs[] = ['url' => 'ws://echo.socketo.me:9000', 'service' => 'socketo'];


    foreach( $websocketURLs as $v ){
    
        connect_to_websocket ( $v['url'], $v['service'], $connector );

    }

    
    function connect_to_websocket( &$url, &$service, &$connector){

        $responseCount = 0;

        echo "\nOK... Will connect to $url at $service\n\n";
        
        $connector( $url, [], [] )->then(function ($connection) use ( &$url, &$service, &$connector, &$responseCount ) {

            echo "Connected to $service";
            
            echo "\n============================\n";

            $connection->send( "Hello" );

            $connection->on('message', function($message) use ($connection, &$url, &$service, &$responseCount) {

                $responseCount++;
            
                $message = (string) $message;

                echo "$service - $message - Response no. $responseCount - Will disconnect at response no. 10";
                echo "\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n";

                if( $responseCount == 10)

                    $connection->close();
            
                $connection->send( $message );

            });

            $connection->on('close', function($code = null, $reason = null) use ( &$url, &$service, &$connector) {

                echo "Websocket Connection to $service is closed ({$code} - {$reason}). Reconnecting...\n";

                connect_to_websocket( $url, $service, $connector );
            
            });

        }, function ($e) {
        
        exit("Could not connect to websocket: {$e->getMessage()}. Exiting...\n");
    
    });

}

$loop->run();

I am also having the same problem, I will attempt the fix mentioned above

require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';
// The console should show both ETHBTC and BNBBTC if two websocket connections are established
\Ratchet\Client\connect('wss://stream.binance.com:9443/ws/ethbtc@depth')->then(function($conn) {
	$conn->on('message', function($msg) use($conn) {
		echo "{$msg}\n";
	});
	$conn->on('close', function($code = null, $reason = null) {
		echo "WebSocket Connection closed ({$code} - {$reason})\n";
	});
}, function($e) {
	echo "Could not connect: {$e->getMessage()}\n";
});

\Ratchet\Client\connect('wss://stream.binance.com:9443/ws/bnbbtc@depth')->then(function($conn) {
	$conn->on('message', function($msg) use($conn) {
		echo "{$msg}\n";
	});
	$conn->on('close', function($code = null, $reason = null) {
		echo "WebSocket Connection closed ({$code} - {$reason})\n";
	});
}, function($e) {
	echo "Could not connect: {$e->getMessage()}\n";
});

Using the loop above fixed it for me. Thank you
Is it possible to use more than one loop?

[kelunik]

No, everything needs to run on the same event loop.
