the "shebang" at the top (#!/.../php -q) to refer to your installation of PHP.
Please refer to floSocket.php for requirement specifications.

// Next, we need to include the class file.

// initializing the class. It is easier to do this in one section reserved
// for global script settings.

// It's not a bad idea to initialize the class early so you don't try to
// referrence it before it's created accidentily.

// For this example, 60 seconds should be sufficient.

/*
You may also want to set the max_execution_time directive in your php.ini file
if you are running in safe mode and you want to run your script indefinitely.

Additionally, your webserver can have other timeouts. E.g. Apache has Timeout
directive, IIS has CGI timeout function, both default to 300 seconds. See the
webserver documentation for meaning of it.

// Let's assign some event capturing functions.

// was called through floSocket, the event fires BEFORE the connection is
// closed so you can send any remaining information.
