title: SocketIO and NodeJS without express?
body: <p>I have a totally seperate website written in PHP and I'm trying to use the capability of node and socketIO together to send messages.</p>
  
  <p>I want to create a "{username} visited {page}" system so I can see in real time when my users are logging in, what pages their visiting and other things on the site. </p>
  
  <p>I'm not sure if NodeJS + SocketIO is the best thing for this but I didn't know any better way. The problem comes when every example I find on google relys on express.</p>
  
  <p>Is there or can anyone post a clean minimial example of socketIO &amp; code without depending on express to print the html.</p>
