CVI. Socket Functions

Introduction

The socket extension implements a low-level interface to the socket communication functions based on the popular BSD sockets, providing the possibility to act as a socket server as well as a client.

For a more generic client-side socket interface, see stream_socket_client(), stream_socket_server(), fsockopen(), and pfsockopen().

When using these functions, it is important to remember that while many of them have identical names to their C counterparts, they often have different declarations. Please be sure to read the descriptions to avoid confusion.

Those unfamiliar with socket programming can find a lot of useful material in the appropriate Unix man pages, and there is a great deal of tutorial information on socket programming in C on the web, much of which can be applied, with slight modifications, to socket programming in PHP. The Unix Socket FAQ might be a good start.

Uyarı

This extension is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this extension -- including the names of its functions and anything else documented about this extension -- may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use this extension at your own risk.

Requirements

No external libraries are needed to build this extension.

Installation

The socket functions described here are part of an extension to PHP which must be enabled at compile time by giving the --enable-sockets option to configure.

Not: IPv6 Support was added with PHP 5.0.0.

Runtime Configuration

This extension has no configuration directives defined in php.ini.

Resource Types

This extension has no resource types defined.

Predefined Constants

The constants below are defined by this extension, and will only be available when the extension has either been compiled into PHP or dynamically loaded at runtime.

Socket Errors

The socket extension was written to provide a useable interface to the powerful BSD sockets. Care has been taken that the functions work equally well on Win32 and Unix implementations. Almost all of the sockets functions may fail under certain conditions and therefore emit an E_WARNING message describing the error. Sometimes this doesn't happen to the desire of the developer. For example the function socket_read() may suddenly emit an E_WARNING message because the connection broke unexpectedly. It's common to suppress the warning with the @-operator and catch the error code within the application with the socket_last_error() function. You may call the socket_strerror() function with this error code to retrieve a string describing the error. See their description for more information.

Not: The E_WARNING messages generated by the socket extension are in English though the retrieved error message will appear depending on the current locale (LC_MESSAGES):

Warning - socket_bind() unable to bind address [98]: Die Adresse wird bereits verwendet

Examples

Örnek 1. Socket example: Simple TCP/IP server

This example shows a simple talkback server. Change the address and port variables to suit your setup and execute. You may then connect to the server with a command similar to: telnet 192.168.1.53 10000 (where the address and port match your setup). Anything you type will then be output on the server side, and echoed back to you. To disconnect, enter 'quit'.

#!/usr/local/bin/php -q
<?php
error_reporting
(E_ALL);

/* Allow the script to hang around waiting for connections. */
set_time_limit(0);

/* Turn on implicit output flushing so we see what we're getting
 * as it comes in. */
ob_implicit_flush();

$address = '192.168.1.53';
$port = 10000;

if ((
$sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP)) < 0) {
    echo
"socket_create() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror($sock) . "\n";
}

if ((
$ret = socket_bind($sock, $address, $port)) < 0) {
    echo
"socket_bind() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror($ret) . "\n";
}

if ((
$ret = socket_listen($sock, 5)) < 0) {
    echo
"socket_listen() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror($ret) . "\n";
}

do {
    if ((
$msgsock = socket_accept($sock)) < 0) {
        echo
"socket_accept() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror($msgsock) . "\n";
        break;
    }
   
/* Send instructions. */
   
$msg = "\nWelcome to the PHP Test Server. \n" .
       
"To quit, type 'quit'. To shut down the server type 'shutdown'.\n";
   
socket_write($msgsock, $msg, strlen($msg));

    do {
        if (
false === ($buf = socket_read($msgsock, 2048, PHP_NORMAL_READ))) {
            echo
"socket_read() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror($ret) . "\n";
            break
2;
        }
        if (!
$buf = trim($buf)) {
            continue;
        }
        if (
$buf == 'quit') {
            break;
        }
        if (
$buf == 'shutdown') {
           
socket_close($msgsock);
            break
2;
        }
       
$talkback = "PHP: You said '$buf'.\n";
       
socket_write($msgsock, $talkback, strlen($talkback));
        echo
"$buf\n";
    } while (
true);
   
socket_close($msgsock);
} while (
true);

socket_close($sock);
?>

Örnek 2. Socket example: Simple TCP/IP client

This example shows a simple, one-shot HTTP client. It simply connects to a page, submits a HEAD request, echoes the reply, and exits.

<?php
error_reporting
(E_ALL);

echo
"<h2>TCP/IP Connection</h2>\n";

/* Get the port for the WWW service. */
$service_port = getservbyname('www', 'tcp');

/* Get the IP address for the target host. */
$address = gethostbyname('www.example.com');

/* Create a TCP/IP socket. */
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
if (
$socket < 0) {
    echo
"socket_create() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror($socket) . "\n";
} else {
    echo
"OK.\n";
}

echo
"Attempting to connect to '$address' on port '$service_port'...";
$result = socket_connect($socket, $address, $service_port);
if (
$result < 0) {
    echo
"socket_connect() failed.\nReason: ($result) " . socket_strerror($result) . "\n";
} else {
    echo
"OK.\n";
}

$in = "HEAD / HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$in .= "Host: www.example.com\r\n";
$in .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
$out = '';

echo
"Sending HTTP HEAD request...";
socket_write($socket, $in, strlen($in));
echo
"OK.\n";

echo
"Reading response:\n\n";
while (
$out = socket_read($socket, 2048)) {
    echo
$out;
}

echo
"Closing socket...";
socket_close($socket);
echo
"OK.\n\n";
?>

After many non-sleep nights I got the most simple multi-client server written in PHP that really works. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V... use as command line to test it. Enjoy it.

<?php

// Bind the socket to an address/port
socket_bind($sock, $address, $port) or die('Could not bind to address');

// Start listening for connections
socket_listen($sock);

// Non block socket type
socket_set_nonblock($sock);

// Loop continuously
while (true)
{
    unset(
$read);

   
$j = 0;

    if (
count($client))
    {
        foreach (
$client AS $k => $v)
        {
           
$read[$j] = $v;

           
$j++;
        }
    }

   
$client = $read;

Planning on sending integer values through as socket, I was surprised to find PHP only supports sending strings.
I came to the conclusion the only way to do it would be to create a string that would evaluate to the same byte values as the integer I wanted to send. So (after much messing about) I created a couple of functions: one to create this 'string' and one to convert a received value back to an integer.

<?php
//Converts an integer to 'byte array' (string), default to 4 'bytes' (chars)
function int2string($int, $numbytes=4)
{
  
$str = "";
   for (
$i=0; $i < $numbytes; $i++) {
    
$str .= chr($int % 256);
    
$int = $int / 256;
   }
   return
$str;
}

//Converts a 'byte array' (string) to integer
function string2int($str)
{
  
$numbytes = strlen($str);
  
$int = 0;
   for (
$i=0; $i < $numbytes; $i++) {
    
$int += ord($str[$i]) * pow(2, $i * 8);
   }
   return
$int;
}

//Example
echo int2string(16705, 2); // 16-bit integer converts to two bytes: 65, 65; which in turn is 'AA'
echo string2int('AA'); //back the other way
?>

Here's a simple script for sending messages back and forth between a server and client.  At this point, the code is fairly rough because once it enters the while loop, it doesn't stop but it can be modified and fixed.  Enjoy.

<?php
//The Server
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$address = "127.0.0.1";
$port = "10000";
 

/* create a socket in the AF_INET family, using SOCK_STREAM for TCP connection */
$mysock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);

socket_bind($mysock, $address, $port);

socket_listen($mysock, 5);

$client = socket_accept($mysock);

echo
"Server started, accepting connections...\n";
 

$i = 0;
while (
true == true)
{
   
$i++;
    echo
"Sending $i to client.\n";
   
socket_write($client, $i, strlen($i));
   
   
$input = socket_read($client, 2048);
    echo
"Response from client is: $input\n";
   
sleep(5);
}

echo
"Closing sockets...";
socket_close($client);

socket_close($mysock);

?>

<?php
//The Client
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$address = "127.0.0.1";
$port = 10000;

/* Create a TCP/IP socket. */
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
if (
$socket === false) {
    echo
"socket_create() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error()) . "\n";
} else {
    echo
"socket successfully created.\n";
}

echo
"Attempting to connect to '$address' on port '$port'...";
$result = socket_connect($socket, $address, $port);
if (
$result === false) {
    echo
"socket_connect() failed.\nReason: ($result) " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error($socket)) . "\n";
} else {
    echo
"successfully connected to $address.\n";
}

$i = 0;
while (
true == true)
{
   
$i++;
    echo
"Sending $i to server.\n";
   
socket_write($socket, $i, strlen($i));
   
   
$input = socket_read($socket, 2048);
    echo
"Response from server is: $input\n";
   
sleep(5);
}

echo
"Closing socket...";
socket_close($socket);

Another Workaround for sending UDP Broadcasts to 255.255.255.255 and receiving the responses on a specific port:
<?php
// NOTE!
// This is quick and dirty code! It comes without error handling!

// Timeout in seconds waiting for a response.
$timeout = 10;
$sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, SOL_UDP);
socket_bind($sock,"0.0.0.0",10000);
socket_set_option($sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BROADCAST, 1);
$buf = "Hello World";
socket_sendto($sock, $buf, strlen($buf), 0, "255.255.255.255", 10000);
socket_set_block($sock);
socket_set_option($sock,
                        
SOL_SOCKET,
                        
SO_RCVTIMEO,
                         array(
"sec"=>10,"usec"=>0));
$timeout += time();
while (
time() <= $timeout-1) {
 if ((
$len = @socket_recvfrom($sock,$ret,2048,0,$cIP,$cPort)) != false) {
  echo
bin2hex($ret);
 }
}
socket_set_nonblock($sock);
socket_close($sock);
?>
david dot schueler at tel-bilig dot de 14-Jan-2008 03:02
NOTE! If you are trying to send a broadcast-message using this code you _may_ get a "Permission denied"-Error at socket_connect, even if you are running this as root on a linux box.
<?php
$sock
= socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, SOL_UDP);
socket_connect($sock,"255.255.255.255", 10000);
socket_set_option($sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BROADCAST, 1);
$buf = "Hello World!";
socket_write($sock,$buf,strlen($buf));
socket_close($sock);
?>
The only workaround for this is to get the broadcast address of the interface and walk through all IPs with a for-loop.

I have beaten the zombies with this code:
pcntl_signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN);
pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, SIG_DFL);
pcntl_signal(SIGINT, SIG_DFL);

server now exits with `kill`

At the moment (2007-09), i don't find this extension in the PECL, but instead in the usual php extension directory. It needs to be included in the php-ini:

extension = php_sockets.dll

(or ".so" - whatever for your system).

    //    to do anything with this.
    //    Since 255.255.255.255 have permission denied problems you can use addr=false to get all broadcast address from ifconfig command

    //    $mac:
    //    You will WAKE-UP this WOL-enabled computer, you need to add the MAC-addres here.
    //    Mac can be array too

There is a fantastic book on this library called 'TCP/IP Sockets in C' (ISBN 1558608265), that covers all of the ins and outs, quirks, and everything else that goes on. It's written for C, of course, but it could have easily been written for PHP with almost no serious code differences.

If you want to use any complicated preexisting protocols, you may find the function pack (http://php.net/pack) useful.

A multicast server can be written badly as follows:

$bc_string = "Hello World!";
$sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
$opt_ret = socket_set_option($sock, 1, 6, TRUE);
$send_ret = socket_sendto($sock, $bc_string, strlen($bc_string), 0, '230.0.0.1', 4446);

Checking the return types is needed, but this does allow for you to multicast from php code.

I've been using the ICMP Checksum calculation function written by Khaless [at] bigpond [dot] com. But when having an odd length of data, it failed, so I made my own instead, which adds a 0 if the data length is odd:
<?php
function icmpChecksum($data)
{
   
// Add a 0 to the end of the data, if it's an "odd length"
   
if (strlen($data)%2)
       
$data .= "\x00";
   
   
// Let PHP do all the dirty work
   
$bit = unpack('n*', $data);
   
$sum = array_sum($bit);
   
   
// Stolen from: Khaless [at] bigpond [dot] com
    // The code from the original ping program:
    //    sum = (sum >> 16) + (sum & 0xffff);    /* add hi 16 to low 16 */
    //    sum += (sum >> 16);            /* add carry */
    // which also works fine, but it seems to me that
    // Khaless will work on large data.
   
while ($sum>>16)
       
$sum = ($sum >> 16) + ($sum & 0xffff);
   
    return
pack('n*', ~$sum);
}
?>

hexdump() is a fantastic function for "dumping" packets or binary output from servers. See the below link for more information.

Here another socketclass which can handle the most importand things.
http://kacke.de/php_samples/source.php?f=socke.inc

Here a little Chatserver based on this class.

A little example that shows how to implement a simple multi-client iterative server (without forking). Launch the server and connect multiple telnet clients on it. It's a basic chat program.

I have searched long and hard for a ping script that does NOT use EXEC() or SYSTEM(). So far, I have found nothing, so I decided to write my own, which was a task to say the least.

First off, I would like to thank Khaless for their checksum function, converting it from C looked like a task in itself.

Here is the class I wrote
<?php

class Net_Ping
{
  var
$icmp_socket;
  var
$request;
  var
$request_len;
  var
$reply;
  var
$errstr;
  var
$time;
  var
$timer_start_time;
  function
Net_Ping()
  {
   
$this->icmp_socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, 1);
   
socket_set_block($this->icmp_socket);
  }
 
  function
ip_checksum($data)
  {
     for(
$i=0;$i<strlen($data);$i += 2)
     {
         if(
$data[$i+1]) $bits = unpack('n*',$data[$i].$data[$i+1]);
         else
$bits = unpack('C*',$data[$i]);
        
$sum += $bits[1];
     }
    
     while (
$sum>>16) $sum = ($sum & 0xffff) + ($sum >> 16);
    
$checksum = pack('n1',~$sum);
     return
$checksum;
  }

  function
start_time()
  {
   
$this->timer_start_time = microtime();
  }
 
  function
get_time($acc=2)
  {
   
// format start time
   
$start_time = explode (" ", $this->timer_start_time);
   
$start_time = $start_time[1] + $start_time[0];
   
// get and format end time
   
$end_time = explode (" ", microtime());
   
$end_time = $end_time[1] + $end_time[0];
    return
number_format ($end_time - $start_time, $acc);
  }

  function
Build_Packet()
  {
   
$data = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwabcdefghi"; // the actual test data
   
$type = "\x08"; // 8 echo message; 0 echo reply message
   
$code = "\x00"; // always 0 for this program
   
$chksm = "\x00\x00"; // generate checksum for icmp request
   
$id = "\x00\x00"; // we will have to work with this later
   
$sqn = "\x00\x00"; // we will have to work with this later

    // now we need to change the checksum to the real checksum
   
$chksm = $this->ip_checksum($type.$code.$chksm.$id.$sqn.$data);

   
// now lets build the actual icmp packet
   
$this->request = $type.$code.$chksm.$id.$sqn.$data;
   
$this->request_len = strlen($this->request);
  }
 
  function
Ping($dst_addr,$timeout=5,$percision=3)
  {
   
// lets catch dumb people
   
if ((int)$timeout <= 0) $timeout=5;
    if ((int)
$percision <= 0) $percision=3;
   
   
// set the timeout
   
socket_set_option($this->icmp_socket,
     
SOL_SOCKET// socket level
     
SO_RCVTIMEO, // timeout option
     
array(
      
"sec"=>$timeout, // Timeout in seconds
      
"usec"=>// I assume timeout in microseconds
      
)
      );

    if (
$dst_addr)
    {
      if (@
socket_connect($this->icmp_socket, $dst_addr, NULL))
      {
     
      } else {
       
$this->errstr = "Cannot connect to $dst_addr";
        return
FALSE;
      }
     
$this->Build_Packet();
     
$this->start_time();
     
socket_write($this->icmp_socket, $this->request, $this->request_len);
      if (@
socket_recv($this->icmp_socket, &$this->reply, 256, 0))
      {
       
$this->time = $this->get_time($percision);
        return
$this->time;
      } else {
       
$this->errstr = "Timed out";
        return
FALSE;
      }
    } else {
     
$this->errstr = "Destination address not specified";
      return
FALSE;
    }
  }
}

$ping = new Net_Ping;
$ping->ping("www.google.ca");

if (
$ping->time)
  echo
"Time: ".$ping->time;
else
  echo
$ping->errstr;

?>

Hope this saves some troubles.

I spent a while trying to use SOCK_RAW to send ICMP request packets so i could ping. This however lead me to need the internet checksum written as a php function, which was a little hard because of the way PHP handles variable types. Anyway, to save others the effort heres what i came up with, this returns Checksum for $data

<?PHP
// Computes Internet Checksum for $data
// will return a 16-bit internet checksum for $data
function inetChecksum($data)
{
   
// 32-bit accumilator, 16 bits at a time, adds odd bit on at end
   
for($i=0;$i<strlen($data);$i += 2)
    {
        if(
$data[$i+1]) $bits = unpack('n*',$data[$i].$data[$i+1]);
        else
$bits = unpack('C*',$data[$i]);
       
$sum += $bits[1];
    }
   
   
// Fold 32-bit sum to 16 bits
   
while ($sum>>16) $sum = ($sum & 0xffff) + ($sum >> 16);
   
$checksum = pack('n1',~$sum);
    return
$checksum;
}
?>

And with this i was able to construct a correct PING Request.

I have spent the past two days ripping out hair trying to figure out how to prevent zombie processes w/the examples above and I just happend to find this in the manual for another lanuage, felt it neccassry to port it here.

Forking your PHP daemon will cause it to zombie on exit.

...or so I've seen on:
FreeBSD (PHP4.2.x)
Debian (PHP4.3.0-dev)
Darwin (PHP4.3.0-dev)

This was tested with the example code above and other scripts created for evaluation.

Seems adding <b>--enable-sigchild</b> to your configure will get rid of the problem.

Hope that saves some hair tearing :]

I found this EXTREMELY useful link on the zend php
mailing list:

http://www.zend.com/lists/php-dev/200205/msg00286.html

It's about being able to use multiple connections
in a php socket server, WITHOUT having
to use those threads everyone seems to be
so very fond of.
works very well :)
(ps: i didn't make it, so....don't say thanks to me ;),
thank him)

"Beej's Guide to Network Programming" is an absolutely excellent and easy to understand tutorial to socket programming. It was written for C developers, but as the socket functions in PHP are (almost) analoguous, this should not be a problem.

After several hours of working with sockets in an attempt to do UDP broadcasting, I thought a little help was in order for anyone else looking to do something similar, since it uses a number of those "undocumented" functions.  Here's how I did it:

<?php
   
// here is a basic opening of the a socket.  AF_INET specifies the internet domain.  SOCK_DGRAM
// specifies the Datagram socket type the 0 specifies that I want to use the default protcol (which in this
// case is UDP)
   
$sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);

   
// if the file handle assigned to socket is less than 0 then opening the socket failed
   
if($sock < 0)
    {
        echo
"socket() failed, error: " . strerror($sock) . "\n";
    }

   
// here's where I set the socket options, this is essential to allow broadcasting.  An earlier comment (as of
// June 4th, 2001) explains what the parameters are.  For my purposes (UDP broadcasting) I need to set
// the broadcast option at the socket level to true.  In C, this done using SOL_SOCKET as the level param
// (2) and SO_BROADCAST as the type param (3).  These may exist in PHP but I couldn't reference them 
// so I used the values that referencing these variables in C returns (namely 1 and 6 respectively).  This
// function is basically just a wrapper to the C  function so check out the C documentation for more info
   
$opt_ret = setsockopt($sock, 1, 6, TRUE);

   
// if the return value is less than one, an error occured setting the options
   
if($opt_ret < 0)
    {
        echo
"setsockopt() failed, error: " . strerror($opt_ret) . "\n";
    }

   
// finally I am ready to broad cast something.  The sendto function allows this without any
// connections (essential for broadcasting).  So, this function sends the contents of $broadcast_string to the
// general broadcast address (255.255.255.255) on port 4096.  The 0 (param 4) specifies no special
// options, you can read about the options with man sendto
   
$send_ret = sendto($sock, $broadcast_string, strlen($broadcast_string), 0, '255.255.255.255', 4096);

// if the return value is less than 0, an error has occured
   
if($send_ret < 0)
    {
    echo
"sendto() failed, error: " . strerror($send_ret) . "<BR>\n";            }
// be sure to close your socket when you're done
close($sock);
