Java Socket Listener Issue?

Question

I have been stuck on this for a while now. I am trying to send data to the Java, server with PHP. When i load the plugin in Bukkit, it stops loading when i call this function:

public void SocketListen()
{       

    String clientSentence;
    String capitalizedSentence;

    try
    {

        ServerSocket welcomeSocket = new ServerSocket(25566);

        while(true)
        {
           Socket connectionSocket = welcomeSocket.accept();
           BufferedReader inFromClient =
              new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connectionSocket.getInputStream()));
           DataOutputStream outToClient = new DataOutputStream(connectionSocket.getOutputStream());
           clientSentence = inFromClient.readLine();
           System.out.println("Received: " + clientSentence);
           capitalizedSentence = clientSentence.toUpperCase() + '\n';
           outToClient.writeBytes(capitalizedSentence);
        }
    }
    catch(IOException e)
    {
        getLogger().severe(e.toString());
    }

}

which tells me i did something wrong. My PHP is:

<?php
$host = "localhost"; 
$port = 25566;
$data = 'test\n';

if ( ($socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP)) === FALSE )
    echo "socket_create() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error());
else 
{
    echo "Attempting to connect to '$host' on port '$port'...<br>";
    if ( ($result = socket_connect($socket, $host, $port)) === FALSE )
        echo "socket_connect() failed. Reason: ($result) " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error($socket));
    else {
        echo "Sending data...<br>";
        socket_write($socket, $data, strlen($data));
        echo "OK<br>";

        echo "Reading response:<br>";
        while ($out = socket_read($socket, 2048)) {
            echo $out;
        }
    }
    socket_close($socket);      
}
?>

What am i doing wrong?

Basically, i just need the PHP server to send "Hello" then the Java Client Spit it out with getLogger().info(data);

Also, do i need to Port forward 25566 on the Client or the server with PHP? They are both hosted on my Local Network with the same External IP.

This may be due to the fact that the loop never stops:

 while(true)
    {
      //code

you can use the class i made for java server and clients:

ChatCleint

    package com.weebly.foxgenesis.src;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

public final class ChatClient
{  
    private Socket socket = null;
    private DataOutputStream streamOut = null;
    private ChatClientThread client = null;
    private String serverName = "localhost";
    private int serverPort = -1;
    private final ChatReciever output;

/**
 * Create a new ChatClient that connects to a given server and receives UTF-8 encoded messages
 * @param a Client class
 */
public ChatClient(ChatReciever chatReciever)
{ 
    output = chatReciever;
    serverPort = chatReciever.getPort();
    serverName = chatReciever.getHost();
    connect(serverName, serverPort);
}

private void connect(String serverName, int serverPort)
{  
    output.handleLog("Establishing connection. Please wait ...");
    try
    {  
        socket = new Socket(serverName, serverPort);
        output.handle("Connected to chat server");
        open();
    }
    catch(UnknownHostException uhe)
    {  
        output.handleError("Host unknown: " + uhe.getMessage()); 
    }
    catch(IOException ioe)
    {  
        output.handleError("Unexpected exception: " + ioe.getMessage()); 
    } 
}

/**

 * @param msg message to send to the server
 */
public void send(String msg) throws IOException
{  
    streamOut.writeUTF(msg); 
    streamOut.flush();
}

/**
 * forces the ChatReciever to listen to a message (NOTE: this does not send anything to the server)
 * @param msg message to send
 */
public void handle(String msg)
{  
    output.handle(msg);
}

private void open() throws IOException
{   
    streamOut = new DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
    client = new ChatClientThread(this, socket); 
}

/**
 * tries to close 
 */
public void close() throws IOException
{  
    if (streamOut != null)  
        streamOut.close();
    if (socket    != null)  
        socket.close(); 
}

/**

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public void stop()
{
    if(client != null)
        client.stop();
    client = null;
}

    return client == null ?(false) : (true);
}
}

ChatServerThread

            client.stop();
        }
    }
