[ENet-discuss] ENet and PHP's socket library

[GhostManZero]

That's what i'd do, but its supposed to connect to a game server which  
uses ENet, and that would mean i'd have to implement another server on  
a different port to get the statistics, and we can all guess how bad  
it'd be, lag-wise.
Besides, we all know ENet has reliable packets anyhow!
