Hi Ravi,

Although it may be possible to write a TCP server with PHP, I would
not recommend it. If it's just a simple server you're trying to
write, try using a better-suited language if possible. I would
recommend Ruby, it is excellent for network programming, and it has
good string and file handling.

Hope this helps,

-James.
