You have basically the choice between Websockets and long polling.

• Websockets (with Ratchet and Autobahn.js)
• Long Polling Using Comet

Decide which technology you want to use and start implementing your use case. Consider that Websockets are more or less new. Depending on your requirements you might not be able to use Websockets because you might have to support crappy browsers. See this page.
