Connecting to PHP using Apache's mod_proxy_wstunnel without using 3rd Party APIs
1) Do we must need to use some 3rd Party APIs or Libraries like Ratchet, PHP-Push-WebSocket or PHP WebSocket to enable PHP to communicate over WebSocket protocol?

How good does ajax long polling work in PHP?
Have you considered using web sockets? Check out Ratchet PHP http://socketo.me/. Once the client and server make a connection your server can send notifications to the client while that connection is open.

Ratchet tutorial/implementation of subscribe, unsubscribe and publish to channel
How should I implement these functions? I am successful with using this documentation to implement basic websocket functions. However, I am still unable to subscribe to a channel/topic. The code is long so I put a github question here. Hope that you can help me with this.

The benefits and pitfalls of using Laravel to make a persistent browser-based game
You can do native websockets with PHP, but it's not straightforward with Laravel. Laravel Echo helps handle the client-side of websockets, but you need to manage the server side on your own.

Chatmosphere - a chat app I made a few weeks ago. Let me know what ya think!
Nice work. I have something similar I built on Ratchet, I looked at Socket.io in the early days but shelved plans to run a Node backend. Your front end looks a lot more appealing than mine does. ;)

Converting a custom chat to use serverless AWS for it's backend (Part 1: The Setup)
However, the websockets server is based on a php package http://socketo.me/ , and sometimes that mini-app goes down without warning, leaving the chat to fallback to an old-school chat-archive. Even monitoring and being certain that the chat websocket server is -up- isn't obvious.

Getting started with asynchronous PHP using ReactPHP
ReactPHP is a library that allows you to turn PHP into something like Go or Node.js so that tasks can be performed asynchronously. Note that ReactPHP is just a library that you install with Composer. It doesn’t have cumbersome requirements, such as installing a custom PHP extension; it just works as intended.

Understanding Concurrency in PHP
ReactPHP is categorized as a low-level dependency for event-driven programming. It features an event loop that supports low-level utilities, such as HTTP client/server, async DNS resolver, streams abstraction, and network client/servers.

Which FW should I use for the link shortening service?
So you could either skip the framework entirely and shave of these 10ms per request, or you could turn to something like Laravel Octane or ReactPHP to have a long running application that answers requests without bootstrapping the whole framework each time (which is what Node.js, Python or .NET applications do, the practice of restarting the whole app with every request is quite unique to the PHP community).
-
How are folks feeling about the React team's push toward server components?
I remember calling out the movement to serverside of the frontend framework as reactPHP (I think it's when the remix hype first surfaced) on twitter and realized there's a literal php framework called reactPHP (https://reactphp.org/) since they liked my tweet lol.

PHP Swoole or OpenSwoole?
https://reactphp.org/ of course.

I don’t get all the hate for PHP and at this point I am too afraid to ask.
You could also use something like EventMachine (In ruby), Twisted (Python), Node (JS) or ReactPHP (for PHP) that will use the language and turn it into a web application server, and then you'll have only one long running process that handle all your requests with shared memory. You could even use something more fancy like RoadRunner in the case of PHP.

Why does a lot of developers hate PHP?
Comparing PHP to NodeJS is completely wrong to begin with. If you want to compare NodeJS to something in the PHP ecosystem it would be ReactPHP.

Is it possible that PHP will ever get async/await functions?
Dunno about PHP core, but there is also ReactPHP. https://reactphp.org/

Do I need Laravel for an HTTP API project? If so, why?
There are many micro-frameworks available like Slim, Mezzio(with Swoole may be), or if you are into async then you can also try Framework X(from core maintainer of ReactPHP). This frameworks have small footprints compare to Laravel, Symfony, etc. Yes, you can't get things like authentication, routing and other out of the box but they can easily be installed and configured to be used.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Ratchet and React you can also consider the following projects:
Workerman - An asynchronous event driven PHP socket framework. Supports HTTP, Websocket, SSL and other custom protocols.
Amp - A non-blocking concurrency framework for PHP applications. 🐘
php-websocket - Simple WebSocket server implemented in PHP.
Elephant.io - Ça trompe énormément
Swoole - 🚀 Coroutine-based concurrency library for PHP
Icicle - Icicle is a PHP library for writing asynchronous code using synchronous coding techniques
Hoa WebSocket - The Hoa\Websocket library.
Laravel - The Laravel Framework.
octane - Supercharge your Laravel application's performance.
