如何将node.js集成到kohanaPHP应用程序中以进行实时状态更新通知

I wish to add real time status update notification to a kohanaPHP application with MySQL database i'm developing using node.js, while looking around, i could not find any tutorials about integrating node.js in PHP, i will like to know if its possible and how can it be done and what type of servers should i host the php website on. From what i got its seems node.js does not work on Apache servers. i'll be grateful for help.I wish to add real time status update notificat
