Your ReactPHP series is the best PHP related tutorial I have ever seen on YouTube. Thank you very much for taking the (huge amount of) time to share your knowledge this way :-)

[abhijeetnarvekar]

[steamcode]

[conradho]

Really appreciate your work!!! Good for beginners.

Great video Sergey! Do you know of a way to get something to happen *exactly* every second, in ReactPHP/Node/whatever? Or is the work done inside each "tick" always added to the timer interval?

love ypur blog as well as this youtube channel.
can you please make video tutorial over reactPHP with mysql as well as mongoDB??

Holla!

It seem like the position of the $loop->run dictates when the $loop is executed. For the same code, when I place it prior to the echo"Before timer \n"; then the other message prints first and irrespective of which value I pass in the timer i.e. 0 or 5 seconds.

Can you please comment on that ?

Thanks for your tutorials. I want to ask, is it possible to install BOTH ReactPHP/EventLoop and ReactPHP/Socket at the same project ???? Thank you friend!

[AhmedMeklad]

Thank you so much for this great tutorial, i have been searching for any resources about ReactPHP on YouTube, and i believe you are the first one create useful tutorial about ReactPHP.

I would like to ask you about something confuse me. can we forget about node.js after using ReachPHP or i have misunderstanding?

I am using the ReactPHP event loop with periodic timer. The code works fine but the browser always shows that the activity is going on (the circle on the chrome tab is always running).
Is it possible to get rid of the running circle and still the periodic loop should run. Please advise.

Hey Sergey, How could I test php react?

[AlexSmolyankin]

How do you get such nice arrows for calling methods from objects?

[thanasisathanasi]

Man I get an error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to must implement interface React\EventLoop\TimerInterface, null given.... I use php and apache combination and I get the result on the browser. It looks nothing works until the code finishes. And instead of finishing normally it gives me the above error. Any clues?
