In order to send data to the socket, you need to use fsockopen to open the connection to the socket at specified port. If the connection is successfully, all you need to do is use fwrite

However, you are going to be sending the data to the WebSocket server. The server will treat you as a client, and since you are not providing HTTP headers it expects for successful authentication - your connection will be refused.

Since you didn't say who is supposed to receive the message you are trying to send (all users or a specific user or something entirely different), without knowing what your goal is - it's hard to explain any further what you should do.
