Goal: After user saves data to my mysql DB, a Json teaser of the newly saved content is broadcasted to all users.

What are some quick and dirty solutions to achieve this? I am working with php/mysql. Got a taste of Socket.io, and a node.js server listening on the side....

Any good links would be greatly appreciated.

Background-------- After many years of working with php, I have decided to jump onto the NodeJS Bandwagon- and have no clue to do anything other than the vanilla "Hello World".... This is my starting point. Thanks again!!

If you would like to broadcast to all users including yourself, then you should use:

io.sockets.emit('global', {data: 'this will be received by everyone'}); 

If you would like to broadcast to all users without yourself being notified, then you should use:

socket.broadcast.emit('Hello everyone!');

Hope this helps!
