check this page http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/start-using-html5-websockets-today/ look at step 9 where it describes how to run a websocket server. that's for XAMPP. I want to do it in WAMP. Sorry if it was unclear.

I have found some idea to make WAMP work with the tutorial. You need to edit the C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.9\php.ini and add a line extension=php_sockets.dll and then call php -q C:\wamp\www\websocket\server\startDaemon.php in cmd and the websocket will work.

P/S: I think there is another way without edit php.ini manually. Click on WAMP Icon PHP -> PHP Extensions -> PHP Socket and Tick it. I guess it will work too.

The only thing you need is a shell/terminal/command line (whatever your operating system of choice calls it) in which you type:

php -q /path/to/your/script.php

Where php is the path to the PHP executable followed by the option -q followed by the path to your script. This doesn't really depend on (X/W/M)AMP much.
