How PHP and Unity3D combine to use Workerman to build an instant online education platform

In recent years, the online education industry has developed rapidly, especially affected by the new crown epidemic, and the demand for distance education has become even stronger. In online education platforms, the real-time and interactivity of instant messaging functions are very important. In this article, we will introduce how to use PHP and Unity3D combined with the Workerman framework to build an instant online education platform.

1. PHP backend construction
   First, we need to build a PHP backend server to handle requests and real-time data transmission from the Unity3D client. We chose to use the Workerman framework, which is a high-performance PHP application framework for building WebSocket servers.
   The following is a simple sample code:

require_once './Workerman/Autoloader.php';

use WorkermanWorker;
use WorkermanLibTimer;

$worker = new Worker("websocket://0.0.0.0:2345");

$worker->onConnect = function ($connection) {
    echo "Connection open
";
};

$worker->onMessage = function ($connection, $data) {
    echo "Received message: $data
";

    // 处理接收到的消息，并根据需要返回数据给客户端
    $response = "Hello Unity3D!";
    $connection->send($response);
};

$worker->onClose = function ($connection) {
    echo "Connection closed
";
};

Worker::runAll();

2. Unity3D client implementation
   Next, we need to implement the client functionality in Unity3D. First, we need to import the WebGL Socket plug-in, which is used to establish a WebSocket connection between the WebGL platform and the PHP server.
   We can then write a simple script that communicates with the server and updates the status of the education platform in real time.

using UnityEngine;
using WebSocketSharp;

public class OnlineEducation : MonoBehaviour
{
    private WebSocket websocket;

    void Start()
    {
        websocket = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:2345");

        websocket.OnOpen += (sender, e) => {
            Debug.Log("Connection open");
        };

        websocket.OnMessage += (sender, e) => {
            Debug.Log("Received message: " + e.Data);
            
            // 处理接收到的消息，更新教育平台的状态
        };

        websocket.OnClose += (sender, e) => {
            Debug.Log("Connection closed");
        };

        websocket.Connect();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        // 根据需要发送消息给服务器
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
        {
            websocket.Send("Hello Server!");
        }
    }

    void OnDestroy()
    {
        websocket.Close();
    }
}

3. Real-time online education function
   Through the above code, we have successfully implemented the communication between the PHP back-end server and the Unity3D client. Now, we can realize the function of instant online education according to actual needs.
   For example, we can create a virtual classroom in the Unity3D client, where students can communicate with teachers in real time, share whiteboards, share screens and other functions. When students operate in the Unity3D client, instant data changes are sent to the PHP backend server and then forwarded to other students and teacher clients. At the same time, teachers can also send real-time audio and video streams to students through the Unity3D client.

To sum up, we used PHP and Unity3D combined with the Workerman framework to successfully build an instant online education platform. Through this platform, students and teachers can communicate and share resources in real time, improving teaching effectiveness and interactivity.

I hope the above introduction will be helpful to developers who want to build an instant online education platform. I believe that with the development of online education, such a platform will have broader application prospects.
