Node.js emit not working on specific socket.on -

i'm trying send news client. on connect, works great, reason on broadcast2 wont response client sided, know same piece of code, , broadcast2's console.log working.

q: how can make sure broadcast2 emit work?

this works:

socket.on('message', function (data) {   console.log('message gotten');   socket.emit('news', { message: 'xxxx' }); }); 

this wont work:

socket.on('broadcast2', function (data) {   console.log("broadcast revieced");   socket.emit('news', { message: 'xxxx' }); }); 

this node.js response:

total code in node.js

socket.on('message', function (data) {   console.log('message gotten'); });  socket.on('another-message', function (data) {   socket.emit('not-news', { hello: 'world' }); });   socket.on('broadcast2', function (data) {   console.log("broadcast revieced");   socket.emit('news', { message: 'xxxx' }); }); 

and on client side:

var socket = io.connect('mysite:8080');  function sender() {   console.log('sending tester');   socket.emit('sendertester', 2); }  socket.on('connect',function(){  });    socket.on('tester', function(msg){   console.log("callback"); });  socket.on('news', function(message) {   console.log("incomming news");   console.log(message); }); 

update 1:

the broadcast2 socket, sent php:

function broadcast($message,$broadcast = 'broadcast2') {   $client = new client(new version1x('myurlhidden:8080'));    $client->initialize();   $client->emit($broadcast, ['message' => $message]);   $client->close(); } 

update 2:

**question two: cause broadcast2 sent before client sided loaded, , client connects node, cause?

but in same time, im preloading class holds broadcast2 emitter.

using codeigniter framework.**

update 3

i trying check theory on update 2, having 2 users logged in, while user 1 trying perform trigger. user 2 gets no output, suppose theory busted.

the server cannot send message socket before connected. have wait until have listening receive sending.

i wouldn't call close after emit either, may close connection before client has received message, emit doesn't wait client receive data before returning asynchronous.

instead let clients close connections when terminate.
