PHP 8.3.0 RC 6 available for testing

stream_socket_client

(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

stream_socket_clientOpen Internet or Unix domain socket connection

说明

stream_socket_client(
    string $address,
    int &$error_code = null,
    string &$error_message = null,
    ?float $timeout = null,
    int $flags = STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT,
    ?resource $context = null
): resource|false

Initiates a stream or datagram connection to the destination specified by address. The type of socket created is determined by the transport specified using standard URL formatting: transport://target. For Internet Domain sockets (AF_INET) such as TCP and UDP, the target portion of the address parameter should consist of a hostname or IP address followed by a colon and a port number. For Unix domain sockets, the target portion should point to the socket file on the filesystem.

注意:

The stream will by default be opened in blocking mode. You can switch it to non-blocking mode by using stream_set_blocking().

参数

address

Address to the socket to connect to.

error_code

Will be set to the system level error number if connection fails.

error_message

Will be set to the system level error message if the connection fails.

timeout

Number of seconds until the connect() system call should timeout. By default, default_socket_timeout is used.

注意: This parameter only applies when not making asynchronous connection attempts.

注意:

To set a timeout for reading/writing data over the socket, use the stream_set_timeout(), as the timeout only applies while making connecting the socket.

flags

Bitmask field which may be set to any combination of connection flags. Currently the select of connection flags is limited to STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT (default), STREAM_CLIENT_ASYNC_CONNECT and STREAM_CLIENT_PERSISTENT.

context

A valid context resource created with stream_context_create().

返回值

On success a stream resource is returned which may be used together with the other file functions (such as fgets(), fgetss(), fwrite(), fclose(), and feof()), false on failure.

错误/异常

On failure the error_code and error_message arguments will be populated with the actual system level error that occurred in the system-level connect() call. If the value returned in error_code is 0 and the function returned false, it is an indication that the error occurred before the connect() call. This is most likely due to a problem initializing the socket. Note that the error_code and error_message arguments will always be passed by reference.

更新日志

版本 说明
8.0.0 timeout and context are now nullable.

示例

示例 #1 stream_socket_client() example

<?php
$fp
= stream_socket_client("tcp://www.example.com:80", $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!
$fp) {
echo
"$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
fwrite($fp, "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: www.example.com\r\nAccept: */*\r\n\r\n");
while (!
feof($fp)) {
echo
fgets($fp, 1024);
}
fclose($fp);
}
?>

示例 #2 Using UDP connection

Retrieving the day and time from the UDP service "daytime" (port 13) on localhost.

<?php
$fp
= stream_socket_client("udp://127.0.0.1:13", $errno, $errstr);
if (!
$fp) {
echo
"ERROR: $errno - $errstr<br />\n";
} else {
fwrite($fp, "\n");
echo
fread($fp, 26);
fclose($fp);
}
?>

注释

警告

UDP sockets will sometimes appear to have opened without an error, even if the remote host is unreachable. The error will only become apparent when you read or write data to/from the socket. The reason for this is because UDP is a "connectionless" protocol, which means that the operating system does not try to establish a link for the socket until it actually needs to send or receive data.

注意: 当指定数值型的 IPv6 地址(例如 fe80::1)时必须用方括号将 IP 围起来——例如, tcp://[fe80::1]:80

注意:

Depending on the environment, the Unix domain or the optional connect timeout may not be available. A list of available transports can be retrieved using stream_get_transports(). See 所支持的套接字传输器列表 for a list of built in transports.

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

<?php

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

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

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

fclose($sock);

The remote_socket argument, in its end (well... after the port), can also contain a "/" followed by a unique identifier. This is especially useful if you want to create multiple persistent connections to the same transport://host:port combo.

Example:
<?php
$socket
= stream_socket_client('tcp://mysql.example.com:3306/root', $errorno, $errorstr, $timeout, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT | STREAM_CLIENT_PERSISTENT);
?>

Note that while (p)fsockopen() follows a similar scheme, it doesn't have this particular feature.

# Some may find it useful to know that your caCert
# must be in pem format, and that PHP seems to like
# your key, cert, and cacert pem's to be concatenated
# in a single file (I suffered various "unknown chain"
# errors, otherwise)
#
# So, (linux users), concat your components as follows:
# (where current working dir is dir where
# cert components are stored)
#
# cat key.pem >certchain.pem
# cat cert.pem >>certchain.pem
# cat cacert.pem >>certchain.pem
#
# Then, the php....

If you only need to check a stream for data, you can use stream_get_content and strtr function. stream_get_content
reads the remainder of a stream into a string.
<?php

$addr
= gethostbyname('www.example.com');

$client = stream_socket_client("tcp://$addr:80", $errno, $errorMessage);

if(
$client === false){
throw new
UnexpectedValueException("Failed to connect: $errorMessage");
}

fwrite($client, "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\nhost: 'www.example.com'\r\nAccept: */*\r\n\r\n");

$variable = stream_get_content($client);

if(
strstr($variable,'data your looking for'))
echo
"The data you are looking for is here";
else
echo
"data not found";

fclose($client);
?>

I came here since fsockopen() does not support any SSL certificate checking in PHP5.

while curl is nice, I use stream_socket_client() to make XML-RPC POST requests via HTTPS and since I have not found any PHP code around that does this, I'll attach an example that also includes HTTP-Digest Auth (eg. trac's WikiRPCInterface2):

<?php
#################################################
# $host: hostname ; eg 'example.org'
# $path: request' eg '/index.php?id=123'
# $data_to_send : data to POST after the HTTP header.
#
# if $opts is an empty array() a standard HTTP to port 80 request is performed.
#
# set auth['type']='basic' to use plain-text auth,
# digest-auth will be handled automatically if $auth['username'] is set and a 401
# status is encountered. - use auth['type']='nodigest' to override.
#
##
function httpPost($host, $path, $data_to_send,
$opts=array('cert'=>"", 'headers'=>0, 'transport' =>'ssl', 'port'=>443),

stream_socket_client is much easier and faster to use to direct sockets, because you can use directly fwrite / fget / fclose functions, but I find hard to find how to connect to a UNIX domain socket. The URL to use is "udg:///path/to/socket".

For example, to log to the log socket (like syslog), you can use:

<?php
$socket
= stream_socket_client('udg:///dev/log',
$errorno,
$errorstr,
$timeout);
fwrite($socket, ...);
?>
