fsockopen

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

fsockopenStellt eine Internet- oder Unix-Domain-Socket-Verbindung her

Beschreibung

resource fsockopen ( string $hostname [, int $port = -1 [, int &$errno [, string &$errstr [, float $timeout = ini_get("default_socket_timeout") ]]]] )

Initialisiert eine Socket-Verbindung zu der in hostname angegebenen Ressource.

PHP unterstützt Ziele im Internet und Unixdomänen, wie sie unter Liste der unterstützten Socket-Transporter beschrieben sind. Eine Liste unterstützter Transportarten können Sie auch mittels stream_get_transports() ermitteln.

Der Socket wird standardmäßig im Blocking Mode geöffnet. Sie können auf den Non-Blocking-Modus wechseln, indem Sie die Funktion stream_set_blocking() nutzen.

Parameter-Liste

hostname

Wenn Sie OpenSSL-Support mit einkompiliert haben, können Sie dem Parameter hostname entweder ein ssl:// oder ein tls:// voranstellen, um eine SSL- oder TLS-Verbindung aufzubauen, die via TCP/IP mit dem entfernten Server verbunden wird.

port

Die Portnummer.

errno

Sofern unterstützt, enthält der Parameter die Fehlernummer des Systemlevels, die beim Aufruf der connect()-Funktion auftrat.

Wenn der Rückgabewert von errno 0 ist und die Funktion FALSE zurückgibt, ist dies ein Zeichen, dass der Fehler vor dem connect()-Aufruf auftrat. Dies ist meist der Fall, wenn es ein Problem beim Initialisieren des Sockets gibt.

errstr

Die Fehlermeldung als String.

timeout

Der Connection-Timeout in Sekunden.

Hinweis:

Wenn Sie einen Timeout für das Lesen oder Schreiben von Daten über den Socket setzen wollen, verwenden Sie stream_set_timeout(), da der timeout-Parameter von fsockopen() nur für das reine Konnektieren des Sockets gedacht ist.

Rückgabewerte

Die Funktion fsockopen() gibt einen Zeiger auf eine Datei zurück, der zusammen mit den anderen Dateifunktionen (wie fgets(), fgetss(), fwrite(), fclose() und feof()) verwendet werden kann. Wenn der Aufruf fehlschlägt, wird FALSE zurückgegeben.

Fehler/Exceptions

Wirft E_WARNING, wenn hostname keine gültige Domain ist.

Changelog

Version Beschreibung
4.3.0 Der Parameter timeout wird nun auch unter win32-Systemen unterstützt.
4.3.0 SSL und TLS over TCP/IP-Support wurde hinzugefügt.
4.0.0 UDP-Support wurde hinzugefügt.

Beispiele

Beispiel #1 fsockopen()-Beispiel

<?php
$fp 
fsockopen("www.example.com"80$errno$errstr30);
if (!
$fp) {
    echo 
"$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
    
$out "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n";
    
$out .= "Host: www.example.com\r\n";
    
$out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
    
fwrite($fp$out);
    while (!
feof($fp)) {
        echo 
fgets($fp128);
    }
    
fclose($fp);
}
?>

Beispiel #2 Eine UDP-Verbindung nutzen

Das folgende Beispiel zeigt, wie Sie den Tag und die Zeit vom UDP-Service "daytime" (Port 13) Ihrer Maschine abfragen können.

<?php
$fp 
fsockopen("udp://127.0.0.1"13$errno$errstr);
if (!
$fp) {
    echo 
"ERROR: $errno - $errstr<br />\n";
} else {
    
fwrite($fp"\n");
    echo 
fread($fp26);
    
fclose($fp);
}
?>

Anmerkungen

Hinweis:

Abhängig von der Systemumgebung kann es vorkommen, dass die Unix-Domäne oder der optionale Connection-Timeout nicht verfügbar sind.

Warnung

UDP-Sockets werden manchmal ohne die Rückgabe eines Fehlermeldung geöffnet, obwohl der entfernte Host nicht erreichbar ist. Der Fehler wird nur sichtbar, wenn Sie Daten vom Socket lesen oder zum Socket schreiben wollen. Der Grund dafür ist, dass UDP ein "verbindungsloses" Protokoll ist, das bedeutet, dass das Betriebssystem nicht versucht, eine Verbindung zum Socket herzustellen, solange es nicht wirklich Daten senden oder empfangen muss.

Hinweis: Wenn Sie eine numerische IPv6-Adresse angeben, z.B. fe80::1, müssen Sie die IP in eckige Klammern schreiben, z.B. tcp://[fe80::1]:80.

Make sure you don't use a double line break ("\r\n\r\n") during the middle of your header, as it appears to end the header.

This means a \r\n\r\n before "Connection: close\r\n\r\n" will not correctly tell fsockopen to close the request, leading to a max timeout error.

Some of the code on this page does this. It took me days to figure out. Example:

<?php
   
// Wrong:
   
fwrite($fp, "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n");
   
fwrite($fp, "Host: php.net\r\n");
   
fwrite($fp, "User-Agent: example\r\n\r\n");
   
fwrite($fp, "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n");

   
// Right:
   
fwrite($fp, "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n" );
   
fwrite($fp, "Host: php.net\r\n");
   
fwrite($fp, "User-Agent: example\r\n");
   
fwrite($fp, "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n");

I would like to save people some time.  I spent a couple hours trying to de-hunkify the response from apache2.  I found out that if you simply make a 1.0 request vs. a 1.1 request you will get no hunks and so this simple script below will get the page you want in plain text, no hunks:

<?php
$data
=false;
$url='www.example.com';

$fp = @fsockopen($url, 80, $errno, $errstr, 1);
if (
$fp) {
   
stream_set_timeout($fp,1);         
   
$out = "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n";
   
$out .= "Host: www.example.com\r\n";
   
$out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
    if (
fwrite($fp, $out)) {
       
$content='';
       
$header = "not yet";
        while (!
feof($fp)) {
           
$data=true;
           
$line=fgets($fp,128);
            if (
$line=="\r\n" && $header=="not yet") {
               
$header = "passed";
            }
            if (
$header=="passed") {
               
$content.=$line;
            }
        }
       
fclose ($fp);
    }
}
if (!
$data) {
    print
"Unable to retrieve all or part of $url";
} else {
    print
"$content";
}

?>

I borrowed some of the script from another poster here - the portion removing the returned header.

A short, quick unchunk function that makes use of regular expressions:

<?php

function unchunk($result) {
    return
preg_replace_callback(
       
'/(?:(?:\r\n|\n)|^)([0-9A-F]+)(?:\r\n|\n){1,2}(.*?)'.
       
'((?:\r\n|\n)(?:[0-9A-F]+(?:\r\n|\n))|$)/si',
       
create_function(
           
'$matches',
           
'return hexdec($matches[1]) == strlen($matches[2]) ? $matches[2] : $matches[0];'
       
),
       
$result
   
);
}

?>

I wasn’t too happy with all the code snippets I found for unchunking chunked HTTP 1.1 replies, as most of them were either bloated with stuff I don’t need or calling several other functions and thus tricky to implement. And some didn’t even work at all for me...

I just thought I could try implementing my own function and here it is. I haven't had any problems with it, so I hope someone finds this useful.

<?php
function unchunkHttp11($data) {
   
$fp = 0;
   
$outData = "";
    while (
$fp < strlen($data)) {
       
$rawnum = substr($data, $fp, strpos(substr($data, $fp), "\r\n") + 2);
       
$num = hexdec(trim($rawnum));
       
$fp += strlen($rawnum);
       
$chunk = substr($data, $fp, $num);
       
$outData .= $chunk;
       
$fp += strlen($chunk);
    }
    return
$outData;
}
?>

Before calling this function you may want to check if the content is really chunked using a code snipped like this:

<?php
while (!feof($fp)) {
   
$reply .= fgets($fp, 1024);
}
$data = substr($reply, (strpos($reply, "\r\n\r\n")+4));
if (
strpos(strtolower($reply), "transfer-encoding: chunked") !== FALSE) {
   
$data = unchunkHttp11($data);
}
?>

A simple proxy list checker. You can check a list ip:port if that port is opened on that IP.

<?php

$fisier
= file_get_contents('proxy_list.txt'); // Read the file with the proxy list
$linii = explode("\n", $fisier); // Get each proxy
$fisier = fopen("bune.txt", "a"); // Here we will write the good ones

for($i = 0; $i < count($linii) - 1; $i++) test($linii[$i]); // Test each proxy

function test($proxy)
{
  global
$fisier;
 
$splited = explode(':',$proxy); // Separate IP and port
 
if($con = @fsockopen($splited[0], $splited[1], $eroare, $eroare_str, 3))
  {
   
fwrite($fisier, $proxy . "\n"); // Check if we can connect to that IP and port
   
print $proxy . '<br>'; // Show the proxy
   
fclose($con); // Close the socket handle
 
}
}

fclose($fisier); // Close the file

?>

In all header aspects I can understand for 3rd party content you may not be able to apply the following but for those reading pages where content being read by fsockopen is editable then I suggest adding a simple unique tag to the beginning of any page being read such as ":THISTAG:"

Cleaning the header contents becomes simplier when you can then use a method like split to grab your data like:

list($header,$data) = explode(":THISTAG:",$data);

For some reason the default FreeBSD 7.0 port (jailed environment) breaks fsockopen() on SSL URLs, returning a constant stream of nothing!  In my case this resulted in php-cgi bringing down lighttpd completely, in rapid time!  Avoid FreeBSD/jails/fsockopen + SSL.  Use curl_init() instead.

Just wanna add a small note:
If your URL scheme is https, remember to change port into 443.
<?php
$fp
= fsockopen("ssl://www.example.com", 443, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!
$fp) {
    echo
"$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
   
$out = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n";
   
$out .= "Host: www.example.com\r\n";
   
$out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
   
fwrite($fp, $out);
    while (!
feof($fp)) {
        echo
fgets($fp, 128);
    }
   
fclose($fp);
}
?>

When downloading large files, it is not really efficient to put the whole server answer in memory before parsing the data to remove the header parts. Here is a simple way to do it while writing the data as it arrive:

<?php

// $socket is a valid fsockopen handle

$out = '';
$headerendfound = false;
$fp = fopen($fileTarget, 'w');
$buffer = '';
while (!
feof($socket)) {
   
$out = fgets ($socket,16384);
    if (
$headerendfound) {
       
fwrite($fp, $out);
        print
'.';
    }
    if (!
$headerendfound) {
       
$buffer .= $out;
        print
"searching for header\n";
       
$headerend = strpos($buffer, "\r\n\r\n");
        if (
$headerend !== false) {
           
$headerendfound = true;
           
fwrite($fp, substr($buffer, $headerend+4));
           
$buffer = '';
        }
    }
}
fclose($fp);
fclose($socket);

?>

look at this smart ssl/http fsockopen function as a good solution for dealing with things

<?php
function _get($type,$host,$port='80',$path='/',$data='') {
   
$_err = 'lib sockets::'.__FUNCTION__.'(): ';
    switch(
$type) { case 'http': $type = ''; case 'ssl': continue; default: die($_err.'bad $type'); } if(!ctype_digit($port)) die($_err.'bad port');
    if(!empty(
$data)) foreach($data AS $k => $v) $str .= urlencode($k).'='.urlencode($v).'&'; $str = substr($str,0,-1);
   
   
$fp = fsockopen($host,$port,$errno,$errstr,$timeout=30);
    if(!
$fp) die($_err.$errstr.$errno); else {
       
fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.1\r\n");
       
fputs($fp, "Host: $host\r\n");
       
fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n");
       
fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($str)."\r\n");
       
fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
       
fputs($fp, $str."\r\n\r\n");
       
        while(!
feof($fp)) $d .= fgets($fp,4096);
       
fclose($fp);
    } return
$d;

I've been searching a big while before considering that it was impossible to use context with fsockopen, as it was in PHP4.

If you want to use sockets with tls or ssl encryption and certificates and so on, you'd better have a look to stream_socket_client.

To just take the HTTP content from fsockopen, better wait until feof finish to read the \r\n separator

<?php
//fsockopen, fputs..

$content = "";
$header = "not yet";

while( !
feof( $pointer ) ) {
   
$line = fgets( $pointer, 128 );
    if(
$line == "\r\n" && $header == "not yet" ) {
       
$header = "passed";
    }
    if(
$header == "passed" ) {
       
$content .= $line;
    }
}

//fclose..

echo( substr( $content, 2 ) );

Here is a way to get an array of cities / states for any zip code anywhere in the US.  This example uses a $_GET variable to specify which zip code, but you can get it from any source you wish.  This will return actual and acceptable zip code cities (according to USPS), but can be easily modified to include just the actual city.

<?php

if($_GET['zip'])
{
    if(!(
$fp = fsockopen('zip4.usps.com', 80, $errno, $errstr)))
        echo
'Could not connect to USPS! Error number: ' . $errno . '(' . $errstr . ')';

    else
    {
       
$poststring =

           
"GET /zip4/zcl_3_results.jsp?zip5=" . $_GET['zip'] . " HTTP/1.0\r\n" .
           
"Connection: close\r\n\r\n";

       
fputs($fp, $poststring);

       
$buffer = '';

        while(!
feof($fp))
           
$buffer .= fgets($fp, 128);

       
fclose($fp);

       
preg_match('/Actual City name(.*)/s', $buffer, $match);

       
$temp = explode('Not Acceptable', $match[1]);

       
// Capture city/state combination for all valid cities

       
preg_match_all('/headers="pre">(?:<b>)?([\w|\s]+), (\w+)/', $temp[0], $acceptable, PREG_SET_ORDER);

       
$values = array();

        foreach(
$acceptable as $value)

           
$values[] =

                array
                (
                   
'city' => $value[1],
                   
'state' => $value[2]
                );

        if(
count($values) == 0)

'Zip could not be found in the database!';
    }
}

For those wanting to use fsockopen() to connect to a local UNIX socket who can't find documentation on how to do it, here's a (rough) example:

<?php

$sock
= fsockopen('unix:///full/path/to/my/socket.sock', NULL, $errno, $errstr);

fwrite($sock, 'SOME COMMAND'."\r\n");

echo
fread($sock, 4096)."\n";

fclose($sock);

When you're connecting through a proxy server you can't rely on fsockopen returning false to indicate that the connection has failed. (This also applies to fgets and fwrite.)

To check whether the proxy succeeded in contacting the real target host, you need to look for the http response code in the headers that get returned. Typically, if the proxy was unable to reach the host, you'll find a line containing something like:
HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable

"system level connect()" is not further documented inside the php documentation so it is hard to find out more about error numbers.

someone suggest a more system-close way to find out more about error numbers here: http://www.askapache.com/php/fsockopen-socket.html (an interesting read about fsockopen anyway).

in my case i could debug to the fact that fsocketopen error number 16 was resulted in the inpossibility to resolve a hostname.

When you try to POST/GET requests via HTTPS over SSL/TLS you should notice this:

<?php
// preconditions
$port = 80 | 443
$host
= "www.example.com";
$method = "POST" | "GET";
$contenttype = "text/html" | "text/plain" | "text/xml" | ...;
$data = "<something>";

// script
if($port == 443)
     
$sslhost = "ssl://".$host;
else
     
$sslhost = $host;
$fp = fsockopen($sslhost, $port);
fputs($fp, "$method $path HTTP/1.1\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Host: $host\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-type: $contenttype\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($data)."\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n");
fputs($fp, "\r\n");
?>

The server usually does not understand the HTTP-header "Host: XXX" if you provide it with the trailing "ssl://" used by fsockopen(); If you do it anyway you probably get a HTTP 400 back as response. :-)

If you have to use a proxy to make requests outside of your local network, you may use this class:

<?php

class RemoteFopenViaProxy {

$this->proxy_port = $p;
    }

    public function
get_request_url() {
        return
$this->request_url;
    }

    public function
set_request_url($u) {
       
$this->request_url = $u;
    }

    public function

        while (!

        }

        return

    function

$this->logger("FAILED: get_url(" . $url . ")", "RemoteFopenViaProxyClass.log");

Use it this way:

<?php
// call constructor
$obj = new RemoteFopenViaProxy($insert_request_url, $insert_proxy_name, $insert_proxy_port);
// change settings after object generation
$obj->set_proxy_name($insert_proxy_name);
$obj->set_proxy_port($insert_proxy_port);
$obj->set_request_url($insert_request_url);
$obj->request_via_proxy();
echo
$obj->get_result();
?>

If there are errors during execution, the script tries to write some useful information into a log file.

I was having trouble doing an https in fopen and with fsockopen where the address had ssl://.  I was getting error code 114 in the log.  After much research i found that there was some ssl conflict trouble with MySQL 5.0.20-5.0.33.  It had some functions that were interfering with openssl that showed up in the php install.

I ran into a problem where I needed to make an fsockopen() style connection from one specific ip address on a server with multiple ip aliases. Unfortunately fsockopen() does not allow the specification of a source address making it unsuitable. I could not find any other solutions elsewhere so here is mine for those with php 5.1.0 or greater.

<?php
// connect to the internet using the '192.168.0.100' IP
$opts = array('socket' => array('bindto' => '192.168.0.100:0'));

$context = stream_context_create($opts);

$fp = stream_socket_client("tcp://www.example.com:80", $errno, $errstr, 30, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT, $context);
?>

Now $fp can be used like a resource handle returned by a vanilla fsockopen() call!

easy get UIDL.
A code is better than the feof.

<?php

$fp
= fsockopen($host, 110, $errno, $errstr, 5);
if (
$fp > 0) {
   
fread($fp,1024);
   
fputs($fp, "USER $user\r\n");
   
fread($fp,1024);
   
fputs($fp, "PASS $pass\r\n");
   
fread($fp,1024);
   
fputs($fp, "UIDL\r\n");
   
fgets($fp,1024);
    do {
       
$line = rtrim(fgets($fp, 1024));
        if (
$line == '.') break;
        list(,
$UIDL) = split(' ', $line, 2);
        echo
$UIDL;
    } while (
$line != '.');
   
   
fputs($fp, "QUIT\r\n");

[EDIT by danbrown AT php DOT net: This note contains a big-fixed version of the user function decode_body().  Fix by (martjean77 at hot dot sapm dot mail dot com) [sic].]

Handling chunked data needs careful handling, because the data can also be compressed inside the chunked data, and chunked data can have many parts, so you need to watch for that. Here a simple example that uses one function decode_header(); to build the header into a key => value array, so it makes it easy to test for the content and transfer types inside the decode_body(); function!

<?php

function decode_header ( $str )
{
   
$part = preg_split ( "/\r?\n/", $str, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY );

   
$out = array ();

    for (
$h = 0; $h < sizeof ( $part ); $h++ )
    {
        if (
$h != 0 )
        {
           
$pos = strpos ( $part[$h], ':' );

           
$k = strtolower ( str_replace ( ' ', '', substr ( $part[$h], 0, $pos ) ) );

           
$v = trim ( substr ( $part[$h], ( $pos + 1 ) ) );
        }
        else
        {
           
$k = 'status';

           
$v = explode ( ' ', $part[$h] );

           
$v = $v[1];

This script checks specific ports so you need to have the correct port open on the server for this to work.

E.g if i have a windows domain controller and it is servering LDAP then the following would be used to check it is online:
<?php
chkServer
("MyDC", "389");
?>

for a webserver:
<?php
chkServer
("MyWebSvr", "80");
?>

etc etc
--------------------------------------------------------

<?php
// check if a server is up by connecting to a port
function chkServer($host, $port)
{  
   
$hostip = @gethostbyname($host); // resloves IP from Hostname returns hostname on failure
   
   
if ($hostip == $host) // if the IP is not resloved
   
{
        echo
"Server is down or does not exist";
    }
    else
    {
        if (!
$x = @fsockopen($hostip, $port, $errno, $errstr, 5)) // attempt to connect
       
{
            echo
"Server is down";
        }
        else
        {
            echo
"Server is up";
            if (
$x)
            {
                @
fclose($x); //close connection
           
}
        } 
    }

I had a problem receving a "Content-Transfer: chunked" response i tried some prior codes but i had some problems too and i decided to code my own (it post something and receive the response although it's chunked). I hope you enjoy...

If you want to GET/POST some page through the HTTP protocol and if you want to keep-alive your connection, you may have a problem with a loop-stuck. Here is hint how to solve it:
<?php
$fp
= fsockopen ("www.php.net", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if(!
$fp) {
    echo
$errstr;
} else {
   
fwrite($fp, "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.php.net\r\nConnection: Keep-Alive\r\n\r\n");
   
$data = '';
    while(!
feof($fp)) {
       
$data .= fread($fp, 4096);
        if(
substr($data, -9)=="\r\n\r\n0\r\n\r\n") {
            exit;
        }
    }
}
echo
$data;

This is a simple example for sending and retrieve SOAP message by using fsockopen:

<?php
$fp

if (!
$fp) {
    echo
"$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {

$soap_out  = "POST /example/exampleServer.php HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$soap_out .= "Host: www.example.com\r\n";
$soap_out .= "User-Agent: MySOAPisOKGuys \r\n";
$soap_out .= "Content-Type: text/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
$soap_out .= "Content-Length: 512\r\n\r\n";
$soap_out .= '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">

</ns5973:contact>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>'
;

   
fputs($fp, $soap_out, strlen($soap_out));  // send request SOAP

   
echo "<xmp>".$out."</xmp>";

    while (!
feof($fp)) {
       
$soap_in . = fgets($fp, 100);
    }

    echo
"<xmp>$soap_in</xmp>";   //display response SOAP

   
fclose($fp);
}
?>

And this is an example result:

Lots of tries and lots of reading http-headers...

If you want to post $_POST vars and (in this case) one file named userfile to $remote_server and $remote_url.

<?php
       
// get the necessary data
       
$file_name = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];     // the file
       
$tmp_name = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];     // the file
       
$content_type = $_FILES['userfile']['type'];     // the file mime type
       
       
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
       
$boundary = "---------------------".substr(md5(rand(0,32000)),0,10);
       
       
// Build the header
       
$header = "POST $remote_url HTTP/1.0\r\n";
       
$header .= "Host: $remote_server\r\n";
       
$header .= "Content-type: multipart/form-data, boundary=$boundary\r\n";
       
// attach post vars
       
foreach($_POST AS $index => $value){
           
$data .="--$boundary\r\n";
           
$data .= "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"".$index."\"\r\n";
           
$data .= "\r\n".$value."\r\n";
           
$data .="--$boundary\r\n";
        }
       
// and attach the file
       
$data .= "--$boundary\r\n";
       
$content_file = join("", file($tmp_name));
       
$data .="Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"userfile\"; filename=\"$file_name\"\r\n";
       
$data .= "Content-Type: $content_type\r\n\r\n";
       
$data .= "".$content_file."\r\n";
       
$data .="--$boundary--\r\n";
       
$header .= "Content-length: " . strlen($data) . "\r\n\r\n";
                
// Open the connection
       
$fp = fsockopen($remote_server, 80);
       
// then just
       
fputs($fp, $header.$data);
       
fclose($fp);

login to the site prior to downloading page:

In some wierd situations site security is based on
 ASPSESSION ID and where could be a
 login asp  script in one place, and the actual page with
information in another place.

for such cases you have to submit ( POST ) you login and
password first, when grab ASP session (and also some
cookies from response, and when use that ASP SESSION in
second request to the actual page: (i took some parts of
codes from other ppl)
<?php
//submit login form: (url, post data, extra headers (optional))
//do not put  http into URL, just domain name
$mycookies = GetCookies("www.yourdomain.com/login.login.asp",

//some extra params if you need them
// echo "Cookies:<br><pre>\n".$mycookies."\n</pre>";
//$body =PostPage("www.example.com/coolpage.asp",
//"action=zzz",$mycookies);
//echo "<br>Body:<br>\n".$body."\n";
//im using get page - so it goes like this:
$opts = array('http'=>array('method'=>"GET",
'header'=>"Accept-language: en\r\nCookie: ".$mycookies."\r\n" ));

We have implemented a Syslog class in PHP following the RFC 3164 rules. Using this class, it is possible to send syslog messages to external servers.
We use this class for example to log information, to synchronize some processes or to launch external "threads".

Class abstract, full class implementation can be found at http://developer.sysco.ch/php/
       
<?php

This is an ident request example. If your client is running identd your real username will be known by the server.
It is also usefull to identify people bypassing IP ACLs by using SOCKS proxy and dynamic IP forwarding. If the socks proxy server uses ident (most unices do) you will know his real username.
For more information see RFC1413
Timeout of 2 seconds in the example may not be enough.

<?php

$remip = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$remport = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_PORT'];

I have found, when using fsockopen() and the POST method, that using HTTP/1.1 is VERY significantly slower than HTTP/1.0 (at least for the server I'm querying, an Orion-based server). Also, using cURL tended to be faster than fsockopen(), though only slightly. For example, here was a recent set of data (for the same exact request in each case):

cURL: 4.2sec
fsockopen() HTTP/1.0: 4.9sec
fsockopen() HTTP/1.1: 19.9sec (!)

I'm not sure why this was occurring. Perhaps it has something to do with the Orion server, which I have little experience with. However, it was not a fluke, and I double-checked the code to make sure there were no errors.

EDITORS NOTE: HTTP/1.1 uses persistent connection causing this delay. Use "Connection: close" header to disable it.

If you are using fsockopen to access webpage, but come across a redirect (Location: ) in the header and want to find and follow the redirect as in this snippet:

<?php
while (!feof($fp)) {
  
$line=fgets($fp, 1024);               
   if (
stristr($line,"location:")!="") {
   
$redirect=preg_replace("/location:/i","",$line);
   }
}
?>

Then don't forget to <?php $redirect = trim($redirect); ?> before trying to follow this new link as $redirect actually has a \r\n on the end of it and won't give you a valid path in the next iteration otherwise. A six hour bug.

Be careful if you open a lot of sockets in one php-file!
I had a script which checked a lot of domains and opened sockets to the whois-server. Even that I closed the connections after I checked a domain (fclose), the sockets seemed to stay open. After a while (about 1000 connections) the php-script couldn't open any more sockets.
It took a while to fix this problem. I did this by writing a script which started the check-scripts with wget (or lynx). I started 5 scripts parallel and just checked 20 domains. After that new 5 scripts where opened. That helped me not to open too many sockets in one php-file because when a php-script ends, all open sockets are closed.

Example:

start.php:
<?php
ignore_user_abort
(true);
for(
$i=0; $i<100; $i++) {
    echo
$i."- "; flush();
   
$exec_string = 'lynx http://example.com/whois.php &';
   
$output = `$exec_string`;
   
sleep(10);
   
$exec_string = 'killall lynx';
   
$output = `$exec_string`;
}
?>

whois.php:
<?php
ignore_user_abort
(true);
for(
$i=0; $i<50; $i++) {
   
fsockopen(whois.server...);
   
// here you process the whois-things
}
?>

Hope this'll help some people!

Here's a function that I needed and couldn't use CURL... it helps you if you want to send the POST data (instead of GET) from one form to 2 or more other PHP scripts.  Trust me... it's a life saver!!

$referrer=$_SERVER["SCRIPT_URI"];

       
// making string from $data
       
foreach($data as $key=>$value)
         
$values[]="$key=".urlencode($value);
       
$data_string=implode("&",$values);

       
// Find out which port is needed - if not given use standard (=80)
       
if(!isset($URL_Info["port"]))
         
$URL_Info["port"]=80;

       
// building POST-request:

You may be able to speed this function up by using an IP address instead of a domain. PHP uses getHostByAddr internally in this function anyway, so you can save a step in the function process.

Here's a function to just fetch the contents behind an URL.

<?php

$port = $url_parsed["port"];
    if (

$port = 80;
   
$path = $url_parsed["path"];
    if (
$url_parsed["query"] != "")
       
$path .= "?".$url_parsed["query"];

   
$out = "GET $path HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: $host\r\n\r\n";

   
$fp = fsockopen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, 30);

   
fwrite($fp, $out);
   
$body = false;
    while (!

Ping from PHP script. (Without system call)

This is of cause not a real ping since there is no support for ICMP. So it can't send a packet and get it back. But the important thing is to get a response from the server, even if it is only a ICMP  error message. That way it verifies the servers existens and calculate the round trip time, which is the essential function of ping. It work well on all servers I have tried, with the echo service running.

<?php
$host
='www.php.com';
$timeout=2;
   
//Open the socket
$handle=fsockopen('ddp://'.$host, 7, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);
if (!
$handle)
     echo
"$errstr ($errno)<br>\r\n";
else {
   
//Set read timeout
   
stream_set_timeout($handle, $timeout);
    for(
$i=0;$i<3;$i++){
       
//Time the responce
       
list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ", microtime(true));
     
$start=(float)$usec + (float)$sec;
       
       
//send somthing
        
$write=fwrite($handle,"echo this\n");
        if(!
$write){
            echo
"Error in writing to socked<br>\r\n";
            break;
        }
        echo
'Send packet to '.$host;
       
       
//Try to read. the server will most likely respond with a "ICMP Destination Unreachable" and end the read. But that is a responce!
       
fread($handle,1024);
       
       
//Work out if we got a responce and time it           
       
list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ", microtime(true));
       
$laptime=((float)$usec + (float)$sec)-$start;
        if(
$laptime>$timeout)
            echo
" : No reply<br>\r\n";
        else

The following snippet allows you to retrieve the title of a page.

Great for rewriting auto-url detectors to display the actual title rather then http://...

<?php
echo get_url_title("http://www.php.net/cal.php?id=409");

function
get_url_title($url, $timeout = 2)
{
   
$url = parse_url($url);

    if(!
in_array($url['scheme'],array('','http')))
        return;

   
$fp = fsockopen ($url['host'], ($url['port'] > 0 ? $url['port'] : 80), $errno, $errstr, $timeout);
    if (!
$fp)
    {
        return;
       
// echo "$errstr ($errno)<br>\n";
   
}
    else
    {
       
fputs ($fp, "GET /".$url['path'].($url['query'] ? '?'.$url['query'] : '')." HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: ".$url['host']."\r\n\r\n");
       
$d = '';
        while (!

Found this php class to use telnet from here:
http://cvs.adfinis.ch/cvs.php/phpStreamcast/telnet.class.php

There's no docs and a lot of it's in french though so maybe it will help
someone to have my working code. This code is used to telnet into a
pix and execute the "shun" command.

<?php
//-------telnet.class.php usage example---------
               
$telnet = new telnet;
// Next line is for logging. 
//By default you need to create a folder called /log and give it the
//rights your webserver is running.
               
$telnet->setLog(1,"mylog");
               
$telnet->set_host("myhost.myplace.com");
//You need to set the prompt to what you know its going to be,
//then call wait_prompt...which waits for what you just set
               
$telnet->set_prompt("Password: ");
               
$telnet->connect();
               
$telnet->wait_prompt();
               
$telnet->write("mypassword");
//Have to change the prompt...in my example this is the
//prompt that a pix will change to after loggin in.
               
$telnet->set_prompt("pix> ");
               
$telnet->wait_prompt();
               
$telnet->write("en");
               
$telnet->set_prompt("Password: ");
               
$telnet->wait_prompt();
               
$telnet->write("enable_password");
//When you go into enable mode in a pix the prompt changes
               
$telnet->set_prompt("pix# ");
               
$telnet->wait_prompt();
               
$telnet->write("shun " . $shun_address);
               
$telnet->wait_prompt();
               
$telnet->write("clear xlate");
               
$telnet->wait_prompt();
               
$telnet->write("write mem");
               
$telnet->wait_prompt();
               
$telnet->write("exit");
               
$telnet->disconnect();

Just a note to everyone who is using fsockopen and fread / fgets for a HTTP connection.

Unless you specify "Connection: Close" in your headers you will need to wait for the socket to time out before feof($streamPointer) to return true.

This has wasted 2 days of my time, grr!

Improved HTTP/1.1 chunked transfer-encoding example.

The sample code given below by Jack does not function correctly when run against a recent version of Apache (I'm assuming that this did once work, but from the HTTP/1.1 spec I can only assume if it did work it was based mostly on luck).

$response = "";

if (!($request=fsockopen('whatever.com',80,$errno,$errstr))) exit($errstr);
else {
  
socket_set_timeout($request,10);
  
// send request
  
fwrite($request,$post);
  
// get header
  
do $header.=fread($request,1); while (!preg_match('/\\r\\n\\r\\n$/',$header));
  
// check for chunked encoding
  
if (preg_match('/Transfer\\-Encoding:\\s+chunked\\r\\n/',$header))
      do {
        
$byte = "";
        
$chunk_size="";
         do {
           
$chunk_size.=$byte;
           
$byte=fread($request,1);
         } while (
$byte!="\\r");      // till we match the CR
        
fread($request, 1);         // also drop off the LF
        
$chunk_size=hexdec($chunk_size); // convert to real number

fclose($request);

just a quick note for users attempting https and thinking they must resort to curl or alternate methods -
you can use fsockopen, just read the docs closely.  basically they are saying to use 'ssl://' for a HTTPS (SSL) web request.

so this would work for authorize.net, and others; even for that paypal IPN - however I think it would be best to leave the site and deal with paypal's form:

<?php
$host
= "somehost.somedomain.com";
$port = 443;
$path = "/the/url/path/file.php"; //or .dll, etc. for authnet, etc.

//you will need to setup an array of fields to post with
//then create the post string
$formdata = array ( "x_field" => "somevalue");
//build the post string
 
foreach($formdata AS $key => $val){
   
$poststring .= urlencode($key) . "=" . urlencode($val) . "&";
  }
// strip off trailing ampersand
$poststring = substr($poststring, 0, -1);

$fp = fsockopen("ssl://".$host, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout = 30);

if(!
$fp){
 
//error tell us
 
echo "$errstr ($errno)\n";
  
}else{

 
//send the server request
 
fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.1\r\n");
 
fputs($fp, "Host: $host\r\n");
 
fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n");
 
fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($poststring)."\r\n");
 
fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
 
fputs($fp, $poststring . "\r\n\r\n");

 
//loop through the response from the server
 
while(!feof($fp)) {
    echo
fgets($fp, 4096);
  }
 
//close fp - we are done with it
 
fclose($fp);
}

If you want to connect via Telnet, it could be useful to set also the Terminal Type (some OS requires it)

<?php
$IAC 
= chr(255);   /* interpret as command: */
$SB = chr(250);     /* interpret as subnegotiation */
$SE = chr(240);     /* end sub negotiation */
$TELOPT_TTYPE = chr(24);     /* terminal type */
$TELQUAL_IS = chr(0);    /* Option is... */

//sending Terminal Type
fwrite($sock,$IAC.$SB.$TELOPT_TTYPE.$TELQUAL_IS.'vt100'.$IAC.$SE);
?>

thought you guys may appreciate this function, allows you to pass an array of urls to download and does so simultaneously using non-blocking sockets, then returns the data in an array.

<?php
// function connects to an array of URLS at the same time
// and returns an array of results.

function multiHTTP ($urlArr) {
 
$sockets = Array(); // socket array!
 
$urlInfo = Array(); // info arr
 
$retDone = Array();
 
$retData = Array();
 
$errno   = Array();
 
$errstr  = Array();
 for (
$x=0;$x<count($urlArr);$x++) {
 
$urlInfo[$x] = parse_url($urlArr[$x]);
 
$urlInfo[$x][port] = ($urlInfo[$x][port]) ? $urlInfo[$x][port] : 80;
 
$urlInfo[$x][path] = ($urlInfo[$x][path]) ? $urlInfo[$x][path] : "/";
 
$sockets[$x] = fsockopen($urlInfo[$x][host], $urlInfo[$x][port],
                          
$errno[$x], $errstr[$x], 30);
 
socket_set_blocking($sockets[$x],FALSE);
 
$query = ($urlInfo[$x][query]) ? "?" . $urlInfo[$x][query] : "";
 
fputs($sockets[$x],"GET " . $urlInfo[$x][path] . "$query HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: " .
       
$urlInfo[$x][host] . "\r\n\r\n");
 }
 
// ok read the data from each one
 
$done = false;
 while (!
$done) {
  for (
$x=0; $x < count($urlArr);$x++) {
   if (!
feof($sockets[$x])) {
    if (

$retData[$x] .= fgets($sockets[$x],128);
    } else {
    
$retData[$x] = fgets($sockets[$x],128);
    }
   } else {
   
$retDone[$x] = 1;
   }
  }
 
$done = (array_sum($retDone) == count($urlArr));
 }
 return
$retData;

To make a telnet connection with a Cisco router:

<?php
$cfgServer
= "nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn"//IP of your router
$cfgPort    = 23;                //port, 22 if SSH
$cfgTimeOut = 10;

$usenet = fsockopen($cfgServer, $cfgPort, $errno, $errstr, $cfgTimeOut);

if(!
$usenet)
        {
        echo
"Connexion failed\n";
        exit();
        }
else
        {
        echo
"Connected\n<BR>";
       
fputs ($usenet, "toto\r\n");
       
fputs ($usenet, "en\r\n");
       
fputs ($usenet, "tutu\r\n");
       
fputs ($usenet, "exit\r\n");
        while (!
feof($usenet))
                {
                echo
". ".fgets($usenet, 128)."<BR>\n";
                }
        }
?>

Then you will have:

Here's a quick function to establish a connection to a web server that will time out if the connection is lost after a user definable amount of time or if the server can't be reached.

Also supports Basic authentication if a username/password is specified. Any improvements or criticisms, please email me! :-)

Returns either a resource ID, an error code or 0 if the server can't be reached at all. Returns -1 in the event that something really wierd happens like a non-standard http response or something. Hope it helps someone.

Cheers,

Ben Blazely

You can know from which country are your visitors sending a query to ip-to-country online tool using code below:

****************************************

<?php
$ip
= $REMOTE_ADDR;

$doc = "/get-country/?ip=" . $ip . "&user=guest&pass=guest";
$url = "ip-to-country.com";

$fp = fsockopen ($url, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!
$fp) {
    echo
"$errstr ($errno)<br/>\n";
} else {
   
fputs ($fp, "GET $doc HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: " . $url. "\r\n\r\n");
    while (!
feof($fp)) {
       
$httpresult = fgets ($fp,1024);
    }
   
fclose ($fp);
}

if (isset(
$httpresult))
{
    echo
"Ud. est� accediendo desde: <b>$httpresult</b>";
}
?>
****************************************

NOTE: I had to modify the code provided by ip-to-country in its own Tools section because is buggy.

Here is how to connect to the web from behind a proxy server:

<?php
/*************start code**************/
/*your proxy server address*/
$proxy = "192.168.10.1";
/*your proxy server port*/
$port = 8080;
/*the url you want to connect to*/
$url = "http://www.php.net/";
$fp = fsockopen($proxy, $port);
fputs($fp, "GET $url HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: $proxy\r\n\r\n");
while(!
feof($fp)){
 
$line = fgets($fp, 4000);
  print(
$line);
}
fclose($fp);

The timeout parameter was not supported under windows until PHP 4.3.0, previously it was fixed at 30sec.

Here is some code to help out abit more with the EOF problem.
I had a problem where I needed to strip out so many lines of server input to get back right data i wanted.

<?php
$port
=4000;
$host="localhost";
$message="test";
$status=senddata($host,$port,$message);
print
"$status";

function
senddata($host,$port,$message) {

#takes in account servers that do not return EOF character
#send data to server and get back input

#function globals
$linenumber="2"; #amount of lines to get rid of before we give input
$lineamount="1"; #amount of lines to read after we give input

$fp = fsockopen("$host", $port, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!
$fp) {
   echo
"$errstr ($errno)";
}
else {
   for (
$i = 1; $i < $linenumber+1; $i++) {
     
fread ($fp,1);
     
$bytes_left = socket_get_status($fp);
      if (
$bytes_left > 0) { fread($fp, $bytes_left[unread_bytes]); }
   }
  
fputs($fp, "$message\r\n");
   for (
$i = 1; $i < $lineamount+1; $i++) {
     
$status.=fread($fp,1);
     
$bytes_left = socket_get_status($fp);
      if (
$bytes_left > 0) { $status.=fread($fp, $bytes_left[unread_bytes]); }
   }
  
fclose ($fp);
}

return
$status;
}

I was tearing my hair out for a week trying to figure out how to do this.

If you use fsockopen with a service that doesn't have an EOF, or you try to read beyond EOF or line break, PHP can hang completely.

In my case, I was trying to write a class that talks to Kali servers (www.kali.net) to get a list of people on the chat server. To keep PHP from hanging due to the above, I discovered this:

<?php
   
class kali_utils {
        function
games_list($kali_server_ip, $kali_server_port) {
           
$result = array();
           
$fp = fsockopen($kali_server_ip, $kali_server_port, $errno, $error, 30);
            if (!
$fp) {
               
$result["errno"] = $errno;
               
$result["error"] = $error;
            }
            else {
               
fputs($fp, "KALIQ");
               
$header = fread($fp, 5);
               
$bytes_left = socket_get_status($fp);
                if (
$bytes_left > 0) {
                   
$result["results"] = fread($fp, $bytes_left["unread_bytes"]);
                }
                else {
                   
$result["results"] = "";
                }
               
fclose($fp);
            }
            return
$result;
        }
    }
?>

When I send the request packet, I get a response packet of length 5. Then I call socket_get_status() and use the unread_bytes key from it to know how far to fread from the socket. Works very good.

I've only used this on PHP 4.2.1 so far.

Here's how to send an email using SMTP. This includes rudimentary checking on server responses during the process of sending an email. Could be improved by more comprehensive processing of the result codes...or going on to the next mail exchanger when you fail after connecting to the first.

<?php

function another_mail($to,$subject,$headers,$message)
{
 
// Could get this from the php ini?
 
$from="me@example.com";
 list(
$me,$mydomain) = split("@",$from);

 
// Now look up the mail exchangers for the recipient
 
list($user,$domain) = split("@",$to,2);
 if(
getmxrr($domain,$mx,$weight) == 0)  return FALSE;

 
// Try them in order of lowest weight first
 
array_multisort($mx,$weight);
 
$success=0;

 foreach(
$mx as $host) {
 
// Open an SMTP connection
 
$connection = fsockopen ($host, 25, $errno, $errstr, 1);
  if (!
$connection)
    continue;
 
$res=fgets($connection,256);
  if(
substr($res,0,3) != "220") break;

 
// Introduce ourselves
 
fputs($connection, "HELO $mydomain\n");
 
$res=fgets($connection,256);
  if(
substr($res,0,3) != "250") break;

 
// Envelope from
 
fputs($connection, "MAIL FROM: $from\n");
 
$res=fgets($connection,256);
  if(
substr($res,0,3) != "250") break;

 
// Envelope to
 
fputs($connection, "RCPT TO: $to\n");
 
$res=fgets($connection,256);
  if(
substr($res,0,3) != "250") break;

 
// The message
 
fputs($connection, "DATA\n");
 
$res=fgets($connection,256);
  if(
substr($res,0,3) != "354") break;

 
// Send To:, From:, Subject:, other headers, blank line, message, and finish
  // with a period on its own line.
 
fputs($connection, "To: $to\nFrom: $from\nSubject: $subject\n$headers\n\n$message\n.\n");
 
$res=fgets($connection,256);
  if(
substr($res,0,3) != "250") break;

 
// Say bye bye
 
fputs($connection,"QUIT\n");
 
$res=fgets($connection,256);
  if(
substr($res,0,3) != "221") break;

 
// It worked! So break out of the loop which tries all the mail exchangers.
 
$success=1;
  break;
 }
 
// Debug for if we fall over - uncomment as desired
 // print $success?"Mail sent":"Failure: $res\n";
 
if($connection) {
  if(
$success==0) fputs($connection, "QUIT\n");
 
fclose ($connection);
 }
 return
$success?TRUE:FALSE;
}

another_mail("recipient@example.com","My Subject","X-mailer: PHP Script\nX-another-header: Whatever","Test email body.\n\nNote if you actually put a period on a line\nby itself, the function will terminate prematurely.\n\nYou will get a partial email sent though.\n");
?>
