PHP - Fsockopen Timeout

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

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);

Local host output:

> PHP Warning:  fsockopen(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL
> Error messages: error:1416F086:SSL
> routines:tls_process_server_certificate:certificate verify failed in

Production server output:

Hi Experts,

How can I check whether I have FSOCKOPEN support from phpinfo() page?

Thanks,

I know this is possible to do the same exact thing with fsockopen, but I cannot get it for the life of me, any help is appreciated

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...?  

Okay guys, so i have a status checker connected to a mySql database.
Now, what i want to do is have it check the status, then update the field in the table.

Here is my code, please someone add or tell me how to add the update mysql thing.

Code: [Select]
<?php
error_reporting(0);
include '../dbc.php';
if(isset($_GET['id']))
{
        $id = intval($_GET['id']);
        //We check if the user exists
        $dn = mysql_query('select * from users where id="'.$id.'"');
       if(mysql_num_rows($dn)>0)

        {
                $dnn = mysql_fetch_array($dn);
                //We display the user datas

$offline='<font color="red">Offline</font>';
$online='<font color="green">Online</font>';
$host=(htmlentities($dnn['server_ip']));
$style=(htmlentities($dnn['style']));
 $port=htmlentities($dnn['port']);

    $fp = fsockopen($host, 43594, $errno,$errstr, 4);
         if (!$fp){
            echo('<font color="red">Offline</font>');
         } else {
$online=echo('<font color="green">Online</font>');
             fclose($fp);
         }

}
}
?>
Thanks, hope so one can help me

I found a pretty cool function that allows me to ping Pingomatic for new blogs that I have. 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

So i have this script that connects to a game data base and it must select and make a top of some columns in data base. The thing is if the data base is offline then the script kinda blocks the website because it has no timeout option. How can i add like a $timeout=2 (in seconds) thing..so if after 2 seconds it gets no connection the script is killed
Thanks in advance

Hi
I am trying to create a "User logged" function that tells the database when the user was logged in, I have heard about creating a time out for this, but dont have any idea how to do it or what it does!
Any one have any ideas?
Thanks
Rhys

I am trying to transfer a large amount of data from a text file exported from a Microsoft Access database into a MSQL database.  I have written a script in PHP to open the text file, read a line at a time, sort out the data for insertion into a new table and then insert the data into the table in the MSQL database.  This works perfectly for 3 or 100+ records, so the fundamentals appear to be solid.  The problem starts when I try to do all the records - about 33,500.  I get:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\DATA\HTMLServedDocs\MusicIndex\MusicImport.php on line 40.

Line 40 is the database write: $result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query);

I'm not sure if the root of the error is the Web Server, the Database or something else.  I am using the Abyss server, which while it is a bit clunky it is appropriate for the application.  

Does anyone have any ideas how to get around this problem.  I could split the data up into smaller files but that is not ideal.  

Hey I was wondering is there a way I can set my sessions to timeout/end a session after a certain amount of time? Here is what I am dealing with...
Code: [Select]
<?php
session_start();

$username = $_SESSION['username'];
$userid = $_SESSION['userid'];
?>

I have a site up where my client can enter some text in a box, and save it to a database.  But the page keeps timing out.  I can't get it to happen in Firefox or Chrome so it leads me to believe that its a setting in IE?

This is what I have tried:

set_time_limit(0) which i understand sets the time limit for the script to unlimitted.


ini_set("session.use_cookies", 1);
ini_set("session.cookie_lifetime", 0);

Turns cookies on, and makes them last forever.

session_set_cookie_params(3600);
Makes a cookies last for an hour.

I have tried all of these, and I have tried them in pieces.
[EDIT] I do places all before session_start

I have read that some of this can go into the php.ini file, but I cannot figure out exactly what I am supposed to add?

Our current php.ini is the default:

* CODE *******************************************************************************

Hi there. 

How do I stop a function from running it it's taking to long to proccess.  For example, say after 10 seconds the code is still working I display an error message?  As you can in the following code it's pulling the contents from an url or file which might take too long to load.


function Tester($url);
{

return file_get_contents($url);

}


Thanks a mil
