CODE FOR BLOG: Live chat application with Server Sent Events in PHP.

GETTING STARTED:

• Clone this repo into your machine and run composer install to install the app (in the root dir of this project) dependencies that the app relies on.
• Run php -S localhost:8080 to start the app at http://localhost:8080/.
• Open different (incognito) tabs and open any users already in the srcdata.sqlite and load different users, like so http://localhost:8080/index?me=5 and http://localhost:8080/index?me=1 where 5 and 1 are real user ids from the users table.

Commands:

• vendor/bin/doctrine orm:schema-tool:create to create entity schemas in our database as defined in src/Entity and cli-config.php.
