PHP - Fsockopen Vs Curl?
Hey guys! I am writing a class file that does this:
sends a GET/POST request with headers to a page and returns the HTML stores cookies Uses GZIp decompression I was wondering: what is the difference between fsockopen and curl? Which is faster for completing those tasks? Thanks Similar TutorialsHello, I have recently started playing around with PHP, and have created a simple port checker with the help of a tutorial. Although what I would like to do is use an HTML form to insert the variable for fsockopen("xxxxx... instead of having it embedded. Is there any way to achieve this? <?php $connection = @fsockopen("www.google.com", 80); if ($connection) { echo "Port 80 on www.google.com is open."; fclose($connection); } else { echo "Port 80 on www.google.com is not open."; } Many thanks for any help that can be provided I am trying to open a Unix server and was wondering how would you return what the Unix server is saying, ie the prompt? Here is the code I was using after reading the php.net. The $call variable is my attempt at reading the server and have it return what it says. I do have a connection to the server cause if I change the address or port number, i have the error in the log file saying the address refused the connection. Any help/insight is really appreciated. Thanks Code: [Select] <?php $host = "127.0.0.1"; $port = 9595; $fp = stream_socket_client("tcp://".$host.":".$port."", $errno, $errstr, 30); $call = fgets($fp); echo $call; fclose($fp); ?> I have this in a method: Code: [Select] <?php public function hear($socket_id = 0, $length = 1024){ $fp = fsockopen("localhost", 5565, $errno, $errstr); if(!$fp){ echo "$errno: $errstr";exit; } $heard = fread($fp, $length); fclose($fp); return $heard; } ?> It is then called like this: Code: [Select] <?php require_once '../phpLive/phpLive.php'; $live->listen(function(){ global $live; if(($heard = $live->hear())){ echo "I heard: $heard"; } }); ?> listen is a while loop that calls the passed function over and over. The problem I am having is when I run it I get this error: 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. I open the port, on my computer and it still doesn't work! What is causing this? how is it possible to check how long a socket has been open for, using fsockopen? or if not fsockopen then what other function is good at checking this? basically i want to check a port on a site, and see how long it has been up for. I am using this code to check if a server is running. Everything is fine when it is running, but when it's not, it takes ages for the fsockopen to fail. Is there a way to make it timeout faster? if (fsockopen($settings->survival_server, $settings->survival_port, $timeout = 0.1)){ $survival['status'] = "Up"; }else { $survival['status'] = "Down" } Hi Experts, How can I check whether I have FSOCKOPEN support from phpinfo() page? Thanks, sorry about this . please can u delete it HI, I'm running the next script from my local host and the production server, and Im getting different outputs. Anyone knows why am I getting that error from my localhost? <?php $host = 'ssl://mail.companyname.org'; $port = 993; $error = 0; $errorString = ""; var_dump(fsockopen($host, $port, $error, $errorString, 30)); var_dump($errorString); var_dump($error);

Edited November 26, 2020 by tirengarfio Okay, I'm using fsockopen to see if a port is being used, But all it does it crashes the page if it isn't. If it is one it works but if it is off the pages just doesn't load at all. Code: <?php $fp=fsockopen("localhost", 43594, $errno, $errstr, 30); if($fp){ echo('The server is <font color="#0066FF"><b>Online!</b></font>'); } else { echo('The server is <font color="#FF0000"><b>Offline!</b></font>'); } ?> Can one of you amazing helpful souls help me out? Thanks in advance! Hi,
After a few years of having Barclays EPDQ payment gateway, they have now changed how they require the data to be sent to them - This has caused my site to stop working.
Now when the page redirects to epdq it is saying that the "Encrypted data is not present"
The original code for the fsockopen function was:
$fp = fsockopen('ssl://secure2.epdq.co.uk'. $host, 443, &$errno, &$errstr, 60); if(!$fp) { print "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n"; } else { fputs($fp, "POST /cgi-bin/CcxBarclaysEpdqEncTool.e HTTP/1.0\n"); fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n"); fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($params)."\n\n"); fputs($fp, $params."\n\n"); while(!feof($fp)) { $output .= fgets($fp, 1024); } fclose($fp); } $response_lines = explode("\n",$output); $response_line_count = count($response_lines); for($i=0; $i<$response_line_count; $i++){ if(preg_match("/epdqdata/",$response_lines[$i])) { $curlencrypt = $response_lines[$i]; } }They have suggested this code instead: $header = "POST /cgi-bin/CcxBarclaysEpdqEncTool.e HTTP/1.1\n"; $header .= "Host: secure2.epdq.co.uk\n"; $header .= "Connection: close\n"; $header .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n"; $header .= "Content-Length: " . strlen($data) . "\n\n"; $fp = @fsockopen("ssl://secure2.epdq.co.uk", 443, $errno, $errstr, 30);and then suggested using this to align it with the way my page is coded: fputs( $fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n" ); fputs( $fp, "Content-length: ".$strlength."\n\n" ); fputs( $fp, "Host: ".$host."\n\n" ); fputs( $fp, $postdata."\n\n" );Can anyone point me in the right direction with this...?

Great. Now I can automate the process instead of manually going to their website. My problem is actually simple. Sometime Pingomatic is quite busy and is unable to receive the request. I want to be able to check the status of my ping request but I don't know how to get this specific field/variable? from the result. Here is the ping script: Code: [Select] $title = "My blog title"; $url = "http://mynewbloglink"; function pingomatic($title,$url,$debug=true) { $content='<?xml version="1.0"?>'. '<methodCall>'. ' <methodName>weblogUpdates.ping</methodName>'. ' <params>'. ' <param>'. ' <value>'.$title.'</value>'. ' </param>'. ' <param>'. ' <value>'.$url.'</value>'. ' </param>'. ' </params>'. '</methodCall>'; $headers="POST / HTTP/1.0\r\n". "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)\r\n". "Host: rpc.pingomatic.com\r\n". "Content-Type: text/xml\r\n". "Content-length: ".strlen($content); if ($debug) nl2br($headers); $request=$headers."\r\n\r\n".$content; $response = ""; $fs=fsockopen('rpc.pingomatic.com',80, $errno, $errstr); if ($fs) { fwrite ($fs, $request); while (!feof($fs)) $response .= fgets($fs); if ($debug) echo "<xmp>".$response."</xmp>"; fclose ($fs); preg_match_all("/<(name|value|boolean|string)>(.*)<\/(name|value|boolean|string)>/U",$response,$ar, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER); for($i=0;$i<count($ar[2]);$i++) $ar[2][$i]= strip_tags($ar[2][$i]); return array('status'=> ( $ar[2][1]==1 ? 'ko' : 'ok' ), 'msg'=>$ar[2][3] ); } else { if ($debug) echo "<xmp>".$errstr." (".$errno.")</xmp>"; return array('status'=>'ko', 'msg'=>$errstr." (".$errno.")"); } } pingomatic($title,$url,$debug=true); This script works and when Pingomatic 'is available' returns something to the effect of Thanks for pinging, you're blog is being forwarded...etc. etc. When Pingomatic is too busy I receive the following result: Code: [Select] HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2012 22:23:17 GMT Content-Type: text/xml;charset=utf-8 Connection: close Content-Length: 390 <?xml version="1.0"?> <methodResponse> <params> <param> <value> <struct> <member><name>flerror</name><value><boolean>1</boolean></value></member> <member><name>message</name><value><string>Pingomatic is a bit overloaded at the moment</string></value></member> </struct> </value> </param> </params> </methodResponse> What I'm trying to get in a variable is the '<member><name>message' result. In this case it's "Pingomatic is a bit overloaded at the moment". This way I can try to ping the server again later at another time knowing that the ping was not successful. What I've tried: I've attempted to see if the 'message' (Pingomatic is a bit overloaded at the moment) is in some of the variables within the original function: $pingresponse = "<xmp>".$errstr." (".$errno.")</xmp>"; $pingresponse2 = "<xmp>".$response."</xmp>"; $pingresponse3 = array('status'=> ( $ar[2][1]==1 ? 'ko' : 'ok' ), 'msg'=>$ar[2][3] ); echo "Ping Server Response : Debug: ".$debug." Errstr :".$errstr." Errno: ".$errno."Response: ".$response; But it isn't. My plan was to use strpos to search for the term "Pingomatic is a bit overloaded at the moment" in which I'll be able to know whether or not the ping was successful or not. Any ideas? I have this inside of a method: if($output){ $opt = fread($pointer, 10000); if(!$headers){ $opt = preg_replace("/http.+(\r\n\r\n|\n\n|\r\r)/isU", "", $opt); } echo $opt; } one of my methods uses fsocketopen to open a file and start processing it. I then have this method which reads out the data to the page. as the file is being processed. Here is the file that is being processed Code: [Select] <?php function flush_buffers(){ ob_end_flush(); flush(); ob_start(); } for($i=0;$i<10;$i++){ echo "Test1: $i"; flush_buffers(); usleep(500000); } ?> when http outputs the data it also outputs the buffer size as well. I ran it on two files, and here was my output: Code: [Select] Test1: cats b Test1: cats b Test1: cats b Test1: cats b Test1: cats b Test1: cats b Test1: cats b Test1: cats b Test1: cats b Test1: cats 0 Test2: 0 8 Test2: 1 8 Test2: 2 8 Test2: 3 8 Test2: 4 8 Test2: 5 8 Test2: 6 8 Test2: 7 8 Test2: 8 8 Test2: 9 Is there any way to remove the buffer size (the "8" and the "b")? I basically went off of this and converted it to a class: http://phplens.com/phpeverywhere/?q=node/view/254 good day dear community, i am workin on a Curl loop to fetch multiple pages: i have some examples - and a question: Example: If we want to get information from 3 sites with CURL we can do it like so: $list[1] = "http://www.example1.com"; $list[2] = "ftp://example.com"; $list[3] = "http://www.example2.com"; After creating the list of links we should initialize the cURL multi handle and adding the cURL handles. $curlHandle = curl_multi_init(); for ($i = 1;$i <= 3; $i++) $curl[$i] = addHandle($curlHandle,$list[$i]); Now we should execute the cURL multi handle retrive the content from the sub handles that we added to the cURL multi handle. ExecHandle($curlHandle); for ($i = 1;$i <= 3; $i++) { $text[$i] = curl_multi_getcontent ($curl[$i]); echo $text[$i]; } In the end we should release the handles from the cURL multi handle by calling curl_multi_remove_handle and close the cURL multi handle! If we want to another Fetch of sites with cURL-Multi - since this is the most pretty way to do it! Well I am not sure bout the string concatenation. How to do it - Note I want to fetch several hundred pages: see the some details for this target-server sites - /(I have to create a loop over several hundred sites). * siteone.example/?show_subsite=9009 * siteone.example/?show_subsite=9742 * siteone.example/?show_subsite=9871 .... and so on and so forth Question: How to appy this loop into the array of the curl-multi? <?php /************************************\ * Multi interface in PHP with curl * * Requires PHP 5.0, Apache 2.0 and * * Curl * ************************************* * Writen By Cyborg 19671897 * * Bugfixed by Jeremy Ellman * \***********************************/ $urls = array( "siteone", "sitetwo", "sitethree" ); $mh = curl_multi_init(); foreach ($urls as $i => $url) { $conn[$i]=curl_init($url); curl_setopt($conn[$i],CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);//return data as string curl_setopt($conn[$i],CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,1);//follow redirects curl_setopt($conn[$i],CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS,2);//maximum redirects curl_setopt($conn[$i],CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,10);//timeout curl_multi_add_handle ($mh,$conn[$i]); } do { $n=curl_multi_exec($mh,$active); } while ($active); foreach ($urls as $i => $url) { $res[$i]=curl_multi_getcontent($conn[$i]); curl_multi_remove_handle($mh,$conn[$i]); curl_close($conn[$i]); } curl_multi_close($mh); print_r($res); ?> I look forward to your ideas. hello i`m new here . i need someone to build a php script with CURL and <iframe> i can pay for the script PM back or email me here icemerc@yahoo.com I have the following code but i can seem to log into the page can somebody tell me what is wrong please <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); $maindir = dirname(__FILE__) .
