A daemon is nothing else than a "script" running infinite on the server in 
background to check for changes. Ok. 

You can do that in PHP too. The client requests the server via one GET like 
/serverside_changes.php

This script has a loop
while(1) {
 check_changes();
 Sleep(1); // relax CPU
}

The client requests this and the connection stays open as long as the server 
does not close it.

See above. 
You would get near instant (1s delay + computation time at max) results of 
changes from the server within the "eventstream". This is a technology already 
utilised on the web front end of oC.
