The question is not clear a lot of thing, but you asked in PHP forum. So I would guess that you are talking about HTTP server.

Here is one thing about HTTP server. It never knock any client. It only response to client.

But yet, can you send data to all client?
There is way. A simple idea would be create a and then push last notice to that table. and all client would have to have the capability to send dynamic request to http server in an interval. Client can send the last id(that she has) to http server. Server would reply if there any newer than the received id. you can also invoke the relation with logged in user.

no at all, there are many things u missed, i think u need to check this power point, which will help u so much.

there are short pooling, long pooling and websockets.

what i need is websockets implementation techniques.

read page 6 carefully and compare with my reply again please.

The web runs (for the most part) on HTTP
HTTP is one way
User asks for data
Server sends data back
The server can't do anything without the user asking first


I didn't miss them.

Another suggestion, dont get twisted with the fancy words
