I want to make a social game by Flash to embed in several social networks.  
This is my main flow:  
#1. Log in, and go to lobby  
#2. Join room & start game  
#3. Play with other players in room  
I don’t know how to achieve that because there’re a lot of solutions which make me so confused:  
A. Use one of PUSH technologies (COMET, Server-Sent Events, WebSocket).  
B. Use a server to deliver messages between clients.  
B1. Rent or buy a server to run server side application, like Union, SmartFox.  
B2. Use platform, like PlayerIO.  
But how to control this server by PHP? I’m a newbie, so any help will be appreciated!
