client -> web-server -> home-server

This requires that the web-server captures your stream all the time, nothing
you really do in PHP but in the streaming program.

You could try to use header() to tell the client browser that it's a stream of
some kind and then use fopen() or/and socket_*(). The downside is that this
can lead to more than one connection to your home-server (one per person
connecting to the page on the web-server).

Far better to use a multicast capable software on your home-server, then you
only have one stream sent to many users instead of one stream to each user.
