Convert Python Script to PHP

Let's discuss over freelancer Personal Message Box for the proper estimation of cost and time. I am myself doing programming so you will directly work with one person and that's me. No mediators. No managers. No subcontractors. see my recent work for the technical expertise along with reviews & feedback on my profile page.

I can port the code to PHP as I am also proficient in python and have worked with PHP scripts extensively

This program is a service which: Starts a listening socket waiting for connections. When a client arrives reads it's request. If it is a register (GET) request starts the function responsible for handling registrations If it is a 'ASBSVC' request it parses 4 words from the request (1st line) and searches through the phones to find if it matches any of them, and updates the random code if it was different. If not found in phones a new phone is created and stored using these values If neither then searches to find a registered service provider (through phones). I can't analyze this more right now

This script starts up a server (listening process) on port 8080, and waits for incoming. When a request is received, it tries to make a connection (open a socket for communication), and spawns a thread to handle it. The "handling" thread grabs the first 4096 bytes and decodes it (assuming it is encoded as "UTF-8" data. It then goes to one of 3 main handling methods based on the beginning of the decoded content: (1) "GET /register_" -- handleRegistrationRequest - If the request is valid, it either replies that the username is already used, or registers a new user. (2) "ASBSVC" -- handleProxiedProvider - If the request is valid, it pools the connection. (3) Otherwise, handleProxiedConsumer - If the request is in valid format, it looks further into the request for data, tries to forward the request to the service provider, and waits for a response from the service provider. I'm guessing this is used as part of a switching system to route/handle requests from IP Phones or similar? May I ask why you want it converted to PHP? One major issue you're going to run into is that Python has native support for threads, while PHP does not. There is a threading library available for PHP (pthreads), which I am familiar with, but if this is a high volume application/server (appears that it might be?), my thought is that a threaded PHP version wouldn't be nearly as stable. However, I'm confident I could get it converted for you in less than 10 hours.
