PHP Object Orientated Socket Server

Question

Hello!

I'm creating a OOP PHP Socket server, that needs to accept multiple simultaneous client connections and reply a msg back to them if they send a certain message to the server.

I have the following code:

while (true){
    echo "looping";
    $thisClient = socket_accept($tSocket);
    $Clients->newClient($thisClient);
    $Clients->CheckForNewMessages();
    sleep(5);
}

$Clients->CheckForNewMessages(); checks for new messages trying to be written:

 public function CheckForNewMessages(){
        foreach ($this->clientObjs as $thisClient){
            $clientObject = $thisClient['Object'];
            $cID = $clientObject->getID();
            $thisChildSocket = $clientObject->getClientSocket();

            $theMSG = socket_read($thisChildSocket, 1024);
            Logging::log("INFO", "$cID sent $theMSG");
        }
    }

But i cannot find or figure out how to detect if a new client connects and if a new client is trying to write messages to the server.

How could i do this?
