Sounds like you maybe want to run your own "server"...
http://php.net/sockets
Unfortunately, the requirement is that the script be able to accept data
on port 80, and co-exist with an existing webserver at the same time. As
far as I can tell, this requirement can only be fulfilled by running the
script through a webserver. Also, sockets are not compiled into PHP by
default, and stream sockets aren't included in versions below PHP 5.0.0,
as far as I can tell. That sort of puts a hamper on socket usage.
