fsockopen

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

fsockopenStellt eine Internet- oder Unix-Domain-Socket-Verbindung her

Beschreibung

fsockopen(
    string $hostname,
    int $port = -1,
    int &$error_code = null,
    string &$error_message = null,
    ?float $timeout = null
): resource|false

Initialisiert eine Socket-Verbindung zu der in hostname angegebenen Ressource.

PHP unterstützt Ziele in Internet- und Unixdomänen, wie sie unter Liste der unterstützten Socket-Transporter beschrieben sind. Eine Liste unterstützter Transportarten kann auch mittels stream_get_transports() abgerufen werden.

Der Socket wird standardmäßig im blockierenden Modus geöffnet. Mit der Funktion stream_set_blocking() kann auf den nichtblockierenden Modus gewechselt werden.

Die Funktion stream_socket_client() ist ähnlich, bietet aber eine umfangreichere Auswahl von Optionen an, einschließlich blockierungsfreier Verbindungen und der Möglichkeit, einen Stream-Kontext zu übergeben.

Parameter-Liste

hostname

Ist die OpenSSL-Unterstützung installiert, kann dem Parameter hostname entweder ein ssl:// oder ein tls:// vorangestellt werden, um bei der Verbindung zum entfernten Host eine SSL- oder TLS-Clientverbindung über TCP/IP zu verwenden.

port

Die Portnummer. Diese kann ausgelassen und mit -1 übersprungen werden, wenn der Transport keinen Port verwendet, z. B. unix://.

error_code

Falls angegeben, enthält der Parameter die Fehlernummer auf Systemebene, die beim Aufruf der Funktion connect() auftrat.

Wenn der Rückgabewert von error_code 0 ist und die Funktion false zurückgibt, ist dies ein Zeichen, dass der Fehler vor dem Aufruf von connect() auftrat. Dies ist meist der Fall, wenn es ein Problem beim Initialisieren des Sockets gibt.

error_message

Die Fehlermeldung als String.

timeout

Der Verbindungs-Timeout in Sekunden. Falls null, wird die php.ini-Einstellung default_socket_timeout verwendet.

Hinweis:

Um einen Timeout für das Lesen oder Schreiben von Daten über den Socket zu setzen, muss stream_set_timeout() verwendet werden, da der Parameter timeout von fsockopen() nur für den Verbindungsaufbau mit dem Socket gedacht ist.

Rückgabewerte

Die Funktion fsockopen() gibt einen Zeiger auf eine Datei zurück, der zusammen mit den anderen Dateifunktionen (wie fgets(), fgetss(), fwrite(), fclose() und feof()) verwendet werden kann. Wenn der Aufruf fehlschlägt, wird false zurückgegeben.

Fehler/Exceptions

Löst einen Fehler der Stufe E_WARNING aus, wenn hostname keine gültige Domain ist.

Changelog

Version Beschreibung
8.0.0 timeout ist nun nullable (akzeptiert den null-Wert).

Beispiele

Beispiel #1 fsockopen()-Beispiel

<?php
$fp
= fsockopen("www.example.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!
$fp) {
echo
"$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
$out = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$out .= "Host: www.example.com\r\n";
$out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
fwrite($fp, $out);
while (!
feof($fp)) {
echo
fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
}
?>

Beispiel #2 Eine UDP-Verbindung nutzen

Das folgende Beispiel zeigt, wie Sie den Tag und die Zeit vom UDP-Service "daytime" (Port 13) Ihrer Maschine abfragen können.

<?php
$fp
= fsockopen("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);
}
?>

Anmerkungen

Hinweis:

Abhängig von der Systemumgebung kann es vorkommen, dass die Unix-Domäne oder der optionale Verbindungs-Timeout nicht verfügbar sind.

Warnung

UDP-Sockets werden manchmal ohne die Rückgabe eines Fehlermeldung geöffnet, obwohl der entfernte Host nicht erreichbar ist. Der Fehler wird nur sichtbar, wenn Sie Daten vom Socket lesen oder zum Socket schreiben wollen. Der Grund dafür ist, dass UDP ein "verbindungsloses" Protokoll ist, was bedeutet, dass das Betriebssystem nicht versucht, eine Verbindung zum Socket herzustellen, solange es nicht wirklich Daten senden oder empfangen muss.

Hinweis: Wenn Sie eine numerische IPv6-Adresse angeben, z. B. fe80::1, müssen Sie die IP in eckige Klammern schreiben, z. B. tcp://[fe80::1]:80.

just a quick note for users attempting https and thinking they must resort to curl or alternate methods -
you can use fsockopen, just read the docs closely.  basically they are saying to use 'ssl://' for a HTTPS (SSL) web request.

so this would work for authorize.net, and others; even for that paypal IPN - however I think it would be best to leave the site and deal with paypal's form:

<?php
$host
= "something.example.com";
$port = 443;
$path = "/the/url/path/file.php"; //or .dll, etc. for authnet, etc.

//you will need to setup an array of fields to post with
//then create the post string
$formdata = array ( "x_field" => "somevalue");
//build the post string
 
foreach($formdata AS $key => $val){
   
$poststring .= urlencode($key) . "=" . urlencode($val) . "&";
  }
// strip off trailing ampersand
$poststring = substr($poststring, 0, -1);

$fp = fsockopen("ssl://".$host, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout = 30);

if(!
$fp){
//error tell us
echo "$errstr ($errno)\n";
  
}else{

 
//send the server request
 
fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.1\r\n");
 
fputs($fp, "Host: $host\r\n");
 
fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n");
 
fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($poststring)."\r\n");
 
fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
 
fputs($fp, $poststring . "\r\n\r\n");

 
//loop through the response from the server
 
while(!feof($fp)) {
    echo
fgets($fp, 4096);
  }
 
//close fp - we are done with it
 
fclose($fp);
}

This script checks specific ports so you need to have the correct port open on the server for this to work.

E.g if i have a windows domain controller and it is servering LDAP then the following would be used to check it is online:
<?php
chkServer
("MyDC", "389");
?>

for a webserver:
<?php
chkServer
("MyWebSvr", "80");
?>

etc etc
--------------------------------------------------------

<?php
// check if a server is up by connecting to a port
function chkServer($host, $port)
{  
   
$hostip = @gethostbyname($host); // resloves IP from Hostname returns hostname on failure
   
   
if ($hostip == $host) // if the IP is not resloved
   
{
        echo
"Server is down or does not exist";
    }
    else
    {
        if (!
$x = @fsockopen($hostip, $port, $errno, $errstr, 5)) // attempt to connect
       
{
            echo
"Server is down";
        }
        else
        {
            echo
"Server is up";
            if (

I have found, when using fsockopen() and the POST method, that using HTTP/1.1 is VERY significantly slower than HTTP/1.0 (at least for the server I'm querying, an Orion-based server). Also, using cURL tended to be faster than fsockopen(), though only slightly. For example, here was a recent set of data (for the same exact request in each case):

cURL: 4.2sec
fsockopen() HTTP/1.0: 4.9sec
fsockopen() HTTP/1.1: 19.9sec (!)

I'm not sure why this was occurring. Perhaps it has something to do with the Orion server, which I have little experience with. However, it was not a fluke, and I double-checked the code to make sure there were no errors.

EDITORS NOTE: HTTP/1.1 uses persistent connection causing this delay. Use "Connection: close" header to disable it.

Here's a function to just fetch the contents behind an URL.

<?php
function fetchURL( $url ) {
   
$url_parsed = parse_url($url);
   
$host = $url_parsed["host"];
   
$port = $url_parsed["port"];
    if (
$port==0)
       
$port = 80;
   
$path = $url_parsed["path"];
    if (
$url_parsed["query"] != "")
       
$path .= "?".$url_parsed["query"];

   
$out = "GET $path HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: $host\r\n\r\n";

   
$fp = fsockopen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, 30);

   
fwrite($fp, $out);
   
$body = false;
    while (!
feof($fp)) {
       
$s = fgets($fp, 1024);
        if (
$body )
           
$in .= $s;
        if (
$s == "\r\n" )

The following snippet allows you to retrieve the title of a page.

Great for rewriting auto-url detectors to display the actual title rather then http://...

<?php
echo get_url_title("http://www.php.net/cal.php?id=409");

function
get_url_title($url, $timeout = 2)
{
   
$url = parse_url($url);

    if(!
in_array($url['scheme'],array('','http')))
        return;

   
$fp = fsockopen ($url['host'], ($url['port'] > 0 ? $url['port'] : 80), $errno, $errstr, $timeout);
    if (!
$fp)
    {
        return;
       
// echo "$errstr ($errno)<br>\n";
   
}
    else
    {
       
fputs ($fp, "GET /".$url['path'].($url['query'] ? '?'.$url['query'] : '')." HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: ".$url['host']."\r\n\r\n");
       
$d = '';
        while (!

$d .= fgets ($fp,2048);

I was tearing my hair out for a week trying to figure out how to do this.

If you use fsockopen with a service that doesn't have an EOF, or you try to read beyond EOF or line break, PHP can hang completely.

In my case, I was trying to write a class that talks to Kali servers (www.kali.net) to get a list of people on the chat server. To keep PHP from hanging due to the above, I discovered this:

<?php
   
class kali_utils {
        function
games_list($kali_server_ip, $kali_server_port) {
           
$result = array();
           
$fp = fsockopen($kali_server_ip, $kali_server_port, $errno, $error, 30);
            if (!
$fp) {
               
$result["errno"] = $errno;
               
$result["error"] = $error;
            }
            else {
               
fputs($fp, "KALIQ");
               
$header = fread($fp, 5);
               
$bytes_left = socket_get_status($fp);
                if (
$bytes_left > 0) {
                   
$result["results"] = fread($fp, $bytes_left["unread_bytes"]);
                }
                else {
                   
$result["results"] = "";
                }
               
fclose($fp);
            }
            return
$result;
        }
    }
?>

When I send the request packet, I get a response packet of length 5. Then I call socket_get_status() and use the unread_bytes key from it to know how far to fread from the socket. Works very good.

I've only used this on PHP 4.2.1 so far.

Lots of tries and lots of reading http-headers...

If you want to post $_POST vars and (in this case) one file named userfile to $remote_server and $remote_url.

<?php
       
// get the necessary data
       
$file_name = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];     // the file
       
$tmp_name = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];     // the file
       
$content_type = $_FILES['userfile']['type'];     // the file mime type
       
       
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
       
$boundary = "---------------------".substr(md5(rand(0,32000)),0,10);
       
       
// Build the header
       
$header = "POST $remote_url HTTP/1.0\r\n";
       
$header .= "Host: $remote_server\r\n";
       
$header .= "Content-type: multipart/form-data, boundary=$boundary\r\n";
       
// attach post vars
       
foreach($_POST AS $index => $value){
           
$data .="--$boundary\r\n";
           
$data .= "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"".$index."\"\r\n";
           
$data .= "\r\n".$value."\r\n";
           
$data .="--$boundary\r\n";
        }
       
// and attach the file
       
$data .= "--$boundary\r\n";
       
$content_file = join("", file($tmp_name));

A simple proxy list checker. You can check a list ip:port if that port is opened on that IP.

$fisier
= file_get_contents('proxy_list.txt'); // Read the file with the proxy list
$linii = explode("\n", $fisier); // Get each proxy
$fisier = fopen("bune.txt", "a"); // Here we will write the good ones

for($i = 0; $i < count($linii) - 1; $i++) test($linii[$i]); // Test each proxy

function test($proxy)
{
  global
$fisier;
 
$splited = explode(':',$proxy); // Separate IP and port
 
if($con = @fsockopen($splited[0], $splited[1], $eroare, $eroare_str, 3))
  {
   
fwrite($fisier, $proxy . "\n"); // Check if we can connect to that IP and port
   
print $proxy . '<br>'; // Show the proxy
   
fclose($con); // Close the socket handle
 
}
}

fclose($fisier); // Close the file

Here's a quick function to establish a connection to a web server that will time out if the connection is lost after a user definable amount of time or if the server can't be reached.

Also supports Basic authentication if a username/password is specified. Any improvements or criticisms, please email me! :-)

Returns either a resource ID, an error code or 0 if the server can't be reached at all. Returns -1 in the event that something really wierd happens like a non-standard http response or something. Hope it helps someone.

Cheers,

Ben Blazely

thought you guys may appreciate this function, allows you to pass an array of urls to download and does so simultaneously using non-blocking sockets, then returns the data in an array.

<?php
// function connects to an array of URLS at the same time
// and returns an array of results.

function multiHTTP ($urlArr) {
$sockets = Array(); // socket array!
$urlInfo = Array(); // info arr
$retDone = Array();
$retData = Array();
$errno   = Array();
$errstr  = Array();
for (
$x=0;$x<count($urlArr);$x++) {
 
$urlInfo[$x] = parse_url($urlArr[$x]);
 
$urlInfo[$x][port] = ($urlInfo[$x][port]) ? $urlInfo[$x][port] : 80;
 
$urlInfo[$x][path] = ($urlInfo[$x][path]) ? $urlInfo[$x][path] : "/";
 
$sockets[$x] = fsockopen($urlInfo[$x][host], $urlInfo[$x][port],
                          
$errno[$x], $errstr[$x], 30);
 
socket_set_blocking($sockets[$x],FALSE);
 
$query = ($urlInfo[$x][query]) ? "?" . $urlInfo[$x][query] : "";
 
fputs($sockets[$x],"GET " . $urlInfo[$x][path] . "$query HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: " .
       
$urlInfo[$x][host] . "\r\n\r\n");
}
// ok read the data from each one
$done = false;
while (!
$done) {
  for (
$x=0; $x < count($urlArr);$x++) {
   if (!

If you are using fsockopen to access webpage, but come across a redirect (Location: ) in the header and want to find and follow the redirect as in this snippet:

<?php
while (!feof($fp)) {
  
$line=fgets($fp, 1024);               
   if (
stristr($line,"location:")!="") {
   
$redirect=preg_replace("/location:/i","",$line);
   }
}
?>

Then don't forget to <?php $redirect = trim($redirect); ?> before trying to follow this new link as $redirect actually has a \r\n on the end of it and won't give you a valid path in the next iteration otherwise. A six hour bug.

The documentation example is of a GET request. I have found POST documentation to be lacking, and here's a function to easily simulate submitting form data:

<?php
# $host includes host and path and filename
    # ex: "myserver.com/this/is/path/to/file.php"
# $query is the POST query data
    # ex: "a=thisstring&number=46&string=thatstring
# $others is any extra headers you want to send
    # ex: "Accept-Encoding: compress, gzip\r\n"
function post($host,$query,$others=''){
   
$path=explode('/',$host);
   
$host=$path[0];
    unset(
$path[0]);
   
$path='/'.(implode('/',$path));
   
$post="POST $path HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: $host\r\nContent-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n${others}User-Agent: Mozilla 4.0\r\nContent-length: ".strlen($query)."\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n$query";
   
$h=fsockopen($host,80);
   
fwrite($h,$post);
    for(
$a=0,$r='';!$a;){
       
$b=fread($h,8192);
       
$r.=$b;
       
$a=(($b=='')?1:0);
    }
   
fclose($h);
    return
$r;

Improved HTTP/1.1 chunked transfer-encoding example.

The sample code given below by Jack does not function correctly when run against a recent version of Apache (I'm assuming that this did once work, but from the HTTP/1.1 spec I can only assume if it did work it was based mostly on luck).

<?php

$header
= "";
$response = "";

// connect
if (!($request=fsockopen('example.com',80,$errno,$errstr))) exit($errstr);
else {
  
socket_set_timeout($request,10);
  
// send request
  
fwrite($request,$post);
  
// get header
  
do $header.=fread($request,1); while (!preg_match('/\\r\\n\\r\\n$/',$header));
  
// check for chunked encoding
  
if (preg_match('/Transfer\\-Encoding:\\s+chunked\\r\\n/',$header))
      do {
        
$byte = "";
        
$chunk_size="";
         do {
           
$chunk_size.=$byte;
           
$byte=fread($request,1);
         } while (
$byte!="\\r");      // till we match the CR
        
fread($request, 1);         // also drop off the LF
        
$chunk_size=hexdec($chunk_size); // convert to real number
        
$response.=fread($request,$chunk_size);
        
fread($request,2);          // ditch the CRLF that trails the chunk
     
} while ($chunk_size);         // till we reach the 0 length chunk (end marker)
  
else {
     
// check for specified content length
     
if (preg_match('/Content\\-Length:\\s+([0-9]*)\\r\\n/',$header,$matches)) {
        
$response=fread($request,$matches[1]);
      } else {
        
// not a nice way to do it (may also result in extra CRLF which trails the real content???)
        
while (!feof($request)) $response .= fread($request, 4096);
      }
   }
  
// close connection
  
fclose($request);
}

// do something useful with the response
print($header);
print(
$response);

It appears that in PHP 5.6.0 (at least the version in Debian jessie, with openssl 1.0.1h-3), this function *is* now validating SSL certificates (in a variety of ways). First, it appears to fail for untrusted certificates (i.e. no matching CA trusted locally), and secondly, it appears to fail for mismatched hostnames in the request and certificate.

Here's how to send an email using SMTP. This includes rudimentary checking on server responses during the process of sending an email. Could be improved by more comprehensive processing of the result codes...or going on to the next mail exchanger when you fail after connecting to the first.

<?php

function another_mail($to,$subject,$headers,$message)
{
// Could get this from the php ini?
$from="me@example.com";
list(
$me,$mydomain) = split("@",$from);

// Now look up the mail exchangers for the recipient
list($user,$domain) = split("@",$to,2);
if(
getmxrr($domain,$mx,$weight) == 0)  return FALSE;

// Try them in order of lowest weight first
array_multisort($mx,$weight);
$success=0;

foreach(
$mx as $host) {
 
// Open an SMTP connection
 
$connection = fsockopen ($host, 25, $errno, $errstr, 1);
  if (!
$connection)
    continue;
 
$res=fgets($connection,256);
  if(
substr($res,0,3) != "220") break;

 
// Introduce ourselves
 
fputs($connection, "HELO $mydomain\n");
 
$res=fgets($connection,256);
  if(
substr($res,0,3) != "250") break;

 
// Envelope from
 
fputs($connection, "MAIL FROM: $from\n");
 
$res=fgets($connection,256);
  if(
substr($res,0,3) != "250") break;

 
// Envelope to
 
fputs($connection, "RCPT TO: $to\n");
 
$res=fgets($connection,256);
  if(
substr($res,0,3) != "250") break;

 
// The message
 
fputs($connection, "DATA\n");
 
$res=fgets($connection,256);
  if(
substr($res,0,3) != "354") break;

 
// Send To:, From:, Subject:, other headers, blank line, message, and finish
  // with a period on its own line.
 
fputs($connection, "To: $to\nFrom: $from\nSubject: $subject\n$headers\n\n$message\n.\n");
 
$res=fgets($connection,256);
  if(
substr($res,0,3) != "250") break;

 
// Say bye bye
 
fputs($connection,"QUIT\n");
 
$res=fgets($connection,256);
  if(
substr($res,0,3) != "221") break;

 
// It worked! So break out of the loop which tries all the mail exchangers.
 
$success=1;
  break;
}
// Debug for if we fall over - uncomment as desired
// print $success?"Mail sent":"Failure: $res\n";
if($connection) {
  if(
$success==0) fputs($connection, "QUIT\n");
 
fclose ($connection);
}
return
$success?TRUE:FALSE;
}

another_mail("recipient@example.com","My Subject","X-mailer: PHP Script\nX-another-header: Whatever","Test email body.\n\nNote if you actually put a period on a line\nby itself, the function will terminate prematurely.\n\nYou will get a partial email sent though.\n");

Trying to fsockopen an ssl:// connection, but it was hanging for a long time, ignoring timeout parameter, and eventually returning false, without an error message.

Turns out (at least) on Windows it validates certificates and doesn't have a valid certificate store.

This worked for me:

- download Mozilla's certificate store from https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
- copy it inside php installation (for example: c:\php)
- and set it up in php.ini
       
              openssl.cafile="c:\php\cacert.pem"

on my FreeBSD vm, with Joomla, I was getting the error

fsockopen(): unable to connect to ssl://localhost:443 (Unknown error)

when using a contact form and also the module updating process.

After reading other notes on here, regarding certificate validation, I installed the port ca_root_nss

(Root certificates from certificate authorities included in the Mozilla
NSS library and thus in Firefox and Thunderbird.)

Now it works

For some reason the default FreeBSD 7.0 port (jailed environment) breaks fsockopen() on SSL URLs, returning a constant stream of nothing!  In my case this resulted in php-cgi bringing down lighttpd completely, in rapid time!  Avoid FreeBSD/jails/fsockopen + SSL.  Use curl_init() instead.

When downloading large files, it is not really efficient to put the whole server answer in memory before parsing the data to remove the header parts. Here is a simple way to do it while writing the data as it arrive:

<?php

// $socket is a valid fsockopen handle

$out = '';
$headerendfound = false;
$fp = fopen($fileTarget, 'w');
$buffer = '';
while (!
feof($socket)) {
   
$out = fgets ($socket,16384);
    if (
$headerendfound) {
       
fwrite($fp, $out);
        print
'.';
    }
    if (!
$headerendfound) {
       
$buffer .= $out;
        print
"searching for header\n";
       
$headerend = strpos($buffer, "\r\n\r\n");
        if (
$headerend !== false) {
           
$headerendfound = true;
           
fwrite($fp, substr($buffer, $headerend+4));
           
$buffer = '';
        }
    }
}
fclose($fp);
fclose($socket);

?>

PHP (or OpenSSL) may not always choose to use e.g. TLS 1.2, but you can force it to with tlsv1.2://
https://docs.php.net/manual/en/migration56.openssl.php#migration56.openssl.crypto-method

This was a great help to me, given Twitter's recent API changes to require TLS 1.2+.

If you have to use a proxy to make requests outside of your local network, you may use this class:

<?php
/*
*
* No Proxy Authentification Implemented; PHP 5
*
*/

class RemoteFopenViaProxy {

    private
$result;
    private
$proxy_name;
    private
$proxy_port;
    private
$request_url;

    public function
get_proxy_name() {
        return
$this->proxy_name;
    }

    public function
set_proxy_name($n) {
       
$this->proxy_name = $n;
    }

    public function
get_proxy_port() {
        return
$this->proxy_port;
    }

    public function
set_proxy_port($p) {
       
$this->proxy_port = $p;
    }

    public function
get_request_url() {
        return
$this->request_url;
    }

    public function
set_request_url($u) {
       
$this->request_url = $u;
    }

    public function
get_result() {
        return
$this->result;
    }

    public function
set_result($r) {
       
$this->result = $r;
    }

    private function

$proxy_fp = fsockopen($this->get_proxy_name(), $this->get_proxy_port());

        if (!
$proxy_fp) {
            return
false;
        }
       
fputs($proxy_fp, "GET " . $this->get_request_url() . " HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: " . $this->get_proxy_name() . "\r\n\r\n");
        while (!
feof($proxy_fp)) {
           
$proxy_cont .= fread($proxy_fp, 4096);
        }
       
fclose($proxy_fp);
       
$proxy_cont = substr($proxy_cont, strpos($proxy_cont, "\r\n\r\n") + 4);
        return
$proxy_cont;

    }

    private function
get_url($url) {
       
$fd = @ file($url);
        if (
$fd) {
            return
$fd;
        } else {
            return
false;
        }
    }

    private function
logger($line, $file) {
       
$fd = fopen($file . ".log", "a+");
       
fwrite($fd, date("Ymd G:i:s") . " - " . $file . " - " . $line . "\n");
       
fclose($fd);
    }

    function
__construct($url, $proxy_name = "", $proxy_port = "") {

       
$this->set_request_url($url);
       
$this->set_proxy_name($proxy_name);
       
$this->set_proxy_port($proxy_port);

    }

    public function
request_via_proxy() {

       
$this->set_result($this->get_url_via_proxy());
        if (!
$this->get_result()) {
           
$this->logger("FAILED: get_url_via_proxy(" . $this->get_proxy_name() . "," . $this->get_proxy_port() . "," . $this->get_request_url() . ")", "RemoteFopenViaProxyClass.log");
        }
    }

    public function

        if (!
$this->get_result()) {
           
$this->logger("FAILED: get_url(" . $url . ")", "RemoteFopenViaProxyClass.log");
        }
    }
}
?>

Use it this way:

<?php
// call constructor
$obj = new RemoteFopenViaProxy($insert_request_url, $insert_proxy_name, $insert_proxy_port);
// change settings after object generation
$obj->set_proxy_name($insert_proxy_name);
$obj->set_proxy_port($insert_proxy_port);
$obj->set_request_url($insert_request_url);
$obj->request_via_proxy();
echo
$obj->get_result();
?>

If there are errors during execution, the script tries to write some useful information into a log file.

I was having trouble doing an https in fopen and with fsockopen where the address had ssl://.  I was getting error code 114 in the log.  After much research i found that there was some ssl conflict trouble with MySQL 5.0.20-5.0.33.  It had some functions that were interfering with openssl that showed up in the php install.

Here is some code to help out abit more with the EOF problem.
I had a problem where I needed to strip out so many lines of server input to get back right data i wanted.

<?php

$host="localhost";
$message="test";
$status=senddata($host,$port,$message);
print
"$status";

function
senddata($host,$port,$message) {

#takes in account servers that do not return EOF character
#send data to server and get back input

#function globals
$linenumber="2"; #amount of lines to get rid of before we give input
$lineamount="1"; #amount of lines to read after we give input

$fp = fsockopen("$host", $port, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!
$fp) {
   echo
"$errstr ($errno)";
}
else {
   for (
$i = 1; $i < $linenumber+1; $i++) {
     
fread ($fp,1);
     
$bytes_left = socket_get_status($fp);
      if (
$bytes_left > 0) { fread($fp, $bytes_left[unread_bytes]); }
   }
  
fputs($fp, "$message\r\n");
   for (

Did you know that fsockopen() DOES NOT validate SSL certificates whatsoever? For the sake of World's overall security level, I guess it would be a very positive idea to add a BIG WARNING notice on the manual page!

Citing the extensive study  titled "The Most Dangerous Code in the World: Validating SSL Certificates in Non-Browser Software" published in 2012 (google it if they removed the link) on page 5:

"PHP provides several methods for establishing SSL connections. For example, fsockopen, which opens a raw socket to the remote server, can be used to connect to SSL servers by putting “ssl://” in the URL. Even though fsockopen does not perform any certificate checks whatsoever, PHP application developers routinely use it for SSL connection establishment (see Section 9)."

For proper certificate validation with some level of ease, you can always move to cURL, but be careful:

"PHP also provides a cURL binding, which uses cURL’s default settings to establish SSL connections with proper certificate validation. As we show in Sections 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3, application developers often set cURL options incorrectly, overriding the defaults and breaking certificate validation."

For more detailed insights, try out the following code:
<?php readfile("http".str_replace('+', '.', implode('/', array(":", null, "www+cs+utexas+edu", "~shmat", "shmat_ccs12.pdf")))); ?>
