PHP - Port Status

Hi.  I am writing a web app to control Zoom Player on my HTPC.  I found that ZP supports listening on a TCP port to accept control commands.  The docs say to quit ZP, send 5100,fnExit + ASCII 13/10 to port 4769.  My original client was C# and I implemented it there, works great.  I then realized WTF am I doing using an external .EXE to just send data to a TCP port?  Switched to using PHP's fsockopen.  Alas, that causes an error to pop up on ZP (List index out of bounds or some such).  Perplexed,  I wrote a GUI for the HTPC to just display an ASCII val breakdown of what it receives to compa



So it looks like they both send the data the same.      Any idea why the discrepancy?

Here is the code:

C# that works:
Code: [Select]
    string cmdstr = "";
    for (int x=2; x<=args.Length-1; x++) cmdstr += args[x] + " ";
    if (SendCommand(args[0], System.Convert.ToInt16(args[1]), cmdstr.Trim() + Environment.NewLine)) Console.WriteLine("Command string sent.");
    Environment.Exit(0);

    static bool SendCommand(string dest, int port, string cmd) {
      try {
        IPAddress[] ips = Dns.GetHostAddresses(dest);
        TcpClient client = new TcpClient();
        IPEndPoint serverEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(ips[0], port);
        client.Connect(serverEndPoint);
        NetworkStream clientStream = client.GetStream();
        ASCIIEncoding encoder = new ASCIIEncoding();
        byte[] buffer = encoder.GetBytes(cmd);
        clientStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
        clientStream.Flush(); clientStream.Close(); clientStream.Dispose();
        client.Close();
        return true;
      } catch (Exception ex) {
        Console.WriteLine("Failed: " + ex.Message);
        return false;
      }
    }

The PHP that is being difficult:
Code: [Select]
  send_data("lioth", "4769", "5100,fnExit");

  function send_data($host,$port,$data='') {
    $fp = fsockopen($host,$port);
    if($fp) {
      fputs($fp, "$data\r\n");
      fclose($fp);
    }
    return;
  }

 

Hi,

I'm trying to connect to a database on a port other than 3306 to create a database. Here's my connect code:

$connection = new MySQLi($host,$user,$pass)()

But according to the PHP website it says I can lay the code out like so:

new MySQLi($host,$user,$pass,$database,$port)()

But how do I specify the port without the database? I've tried just "" as the database but the connection still fails.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I have a small project. I have a control board that is connected to the parallel port.

It controls 8 strips of LED on the LPT1 port.

I can turn these on and off via the command prompt, using LPTOUT.exe   ie lptout 1  turns on the 1st LED

lptout 2  will turn off 1st LED and turn on 2nd,  lptout 4 turns on 3rd and 2nd off, etc
 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128.     and combinations ie lptout 3  turns on LEDS 1 and 2, and so on.

However lptout seems very unresponsive sometimes I have to do lptout 1  twice before LED 1 turns on.

Is there another command I can use to write to LPT1 port.

I need some PHP code to control the outputs.

I want to sequence the outputs ie  1on (1second) 2on (1 second) 3 on (1 second) 4 on  etc. to 8, then all off then repeat.

Can anyone help me.

THANK YOU.

Hi All - I'm trying to see if the below is possible using PHP.

is it possible for php to allow a user to check if a port is open/listening on a remote server/PC, from their local machine. I've seen scripts on the web that talk about opening cmd.exe - this won't work as not all of my users will be on windows. Also saw fsock.. but the remote server is not serving http page(s). Also saw telnet, but again, some of my users may not have that windows feature enabled.

Desired workflow:

1. user enters the server hostname/IP and a port

2. my php webapp will emulate checking if that hostname and port is open from the local user's computer.

 

thanks!

Hello guys,

I am new to PHP programming. I am trying to figure out how to use PHP language to transmit/write characters to a USB port device at 9600 baud rate 8-N-1. Basically I just need the PHP coding to allow me to send stuff to the USB device but I have no idea how I can interface this. I did some researching but most were for RS-232 COM Port. I can't find the proper one for USB.

If someone can help me out, that would be awesome. Thank you!

Problem:

I'm trying to make it so the array responds to the integer of status in the database. So, to check if it's one, I try this:


$get["status"]["1"] = "Message here...";


But, on my result, I'm just getting WWTT - And the value in the database for the ticket is 0. I'm not sure if I'm using the array correctly.

Okay I now have a working extract ZIP archive script.
What I am now looking to do is have a loop which checks the percentage complete the extraction is and at 100% (with no erros) carry out a PHP function.

The code so far is (and includes comments on how the new function would be placed):
$dir = opendir('temp');
while(false !==($file=readdir($dir))){
if(strpos($file, '.zip',1)){
extractupdate($file);
}
}

function extractupdate($file){
$zip=new ZipArchive;
if($zip->open('temp/'.$file) == TRUE){
$update=rtrim($file, ".zip");
$zip->extractTo($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/update/temp/$update");
$zip->close();
echo "Extraction started.";
// Place loop here to run untill 100% extraction completed and then run function "intsallupdate($update);"
} else {
echo "Failed to start extraction.";
}
}

function installupdate($update){
// installupdate() will now shift the files around as necessary.
// NB to PHPFREAKS, no assistance with code for installupdate() is required, only the loop. Cheers.
}

Many thanks in advance.
