Step 1. Get the PHP Emitter: https://github.com/rase-/socket.io-php-emitter

$redis = new \Redis(); // Using the Redis extension provided client
$redis->connect('127.0.0.1', '6379');
$emitter = new SocketIO\Emitter($redis);
$emitter->emit('new question', 'h
tml');

add this to your index.js:

var redis = require('socket.io-redis');
io.adapter(redis({ host: 'localhost', port: 6379 }));
io.on('connection', function(socket){
    socket.on('new question', function(msg) {
        io.emit('new question', msg);
    });
});

add something like this to your index.html

socket.on('new question', function(msg) {
    $('body').append( msg );
});
