PHP library for LIS tcpip

Is there a library for writing tcpclient in PHP for LIS in hospitals? I have an auto开发者_Go百科mated instrument operated by server. I can communicate with the server using tcpip. My own database operate in MySQL with PHP.

You can use socket functions to connect to tcpip socket. But you would have to implement the LIS protocol yourself.

You can open sockets with PHP with fsockopen.

Edit: Michal has a link to the full socket "book," that might be more helpful.
