Answer 1

Here is how ii made codeigniter and nodejs talk to each other.

i have my codeigniter app running on http://mydomain.com/controller/function/ and i have my nodejs(nowjs) running on http://mydomain.com:8080 ,

users will use codeigniter URL and when open the page, i have this script on my CI view page that connects to my Nodejs app, something similar to this :

<script src="http://mydomain.com:8080/nowjs/now.js"></script>

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    now.receiveMessage = function(name, message){
        $("#messages").append("<br>" + name + ": " + message);
    }

    // Send message to people in the same group
    $("#send-button").click(function(){
        now.distributeMessage($("#text-input").val());
        $("#text-input").val("");
    });

    now.name = prompt("What's your name?", "");

    // on establishing 'now' connection, set server room and allow message sending
    now.ready(function(){
        // Pick up list of available chatrooms from server and populate dropdown 
        setServerRoomFromList(now.serverRoomsList);

        // By default pick the first chatroom 
        now.changeRoom($('#server-room').val());
        // Connection established and room set; allow user to start sending messages
        $("#send-button").removeAttr('disabled');
    });

    // On change of drop down, clear text and change server room
    $('#server-room').change(function(){
        $("#messages").html('');
        now.changeRoom($('#server-room').val());
    });

});

// populate the #server-room dropdown 
function setServerRoomFromList(roomList){
    $('#server-room').empty();
    $.each(roomList, function(key, value)
    {   
         $('#server-room').
              append($("<option></option>").
              attr("value",key).
              text(value)); 
    });
}

</script>

ant they can talk to each other very well !!
