The definition of fsockopen says that $errno and $errstr should be passed by reference. The official example fails to do this.
Only one posted example does it correctly.
I think the following would be correct.
$fp = fsockopen($host_name, $port_number, &$errno, &$errstr, $timeout);
fsockopen
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
fsockopen — Open Internet or Unix domain socket connection
Description
resource fsockopen
( string $hostname
[, int $port
[, int &$errno
[, string &$errstr
[, float $timeout
]]]] )
Initiates a socket connection to the resource specified by hostname .
PHP supports targets in the Internet and Unix domains as described in List of Supported Socket Transports. A list of supported transports can also be retrieved using stream_get_transports().
The socket will by default be opened in blocking mode. You can switch it to non-blocking mode by using stream_set_blocking().
Parameters
- hostname
-
If you have compiled in OpenSSL support, you may prefix the hostname with either ssl:// or tls:// to use an SSL or TLS client connection over TCP/IP to connect to the remote host.
- port
-
The port number.
- errno
-
If provided, holds the system level error number that occurred in the system-level connect() call.
If the value returned in errno 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.
- errstr
-
The error message as a string.
- timeout
-
The connection timeout, in seconds.
Note: If you need to set a timeout for reading/writing data over the socket, use stream_set_timeout(), as the timeout parameter to fsockopen() only applies while connecting the socket.
Return Values
fsockopen() returns a file pointer which may be used together with the other file functions (such as fgets(), fgetss(), fwrite(), fclose(), and feof()). If the call fails, it will return FALSE
ChangeLog
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 4.3.0 | Added support for the timeout parameter on win32. |
| 4.3.0 | SSL and TLS over TCP/IP support was added. |
| 4.0.0 | UDP support was added. |
| 3.0.9 | The timeout parameter was added. |
Examples
Example #1 fsockopen() Example
<?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);
}
?>
Example #2 Using UDP connection
The example below shows how to retrieve the day and time from the UDP service "daytime" (port 13) in your own machine.
<?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);
}
?>
Notes
Note: Depending on the environment, the Unix domain or the optional connect timeout may not be available.
Warning
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.
Note: When specifying a numerical IPv6 address (e.g. fe80::1), you must enclose the IP in square brackets—for example, tcp://[fe80::1]:80.

When you try to POST/GET requests via HTTPS over SSL/TLS you should notice this:
<?php
// preconditions
$port = 80 | 443
$host = "www.example.com";
$method = "POST" | "GET";
$contenttype = "text/html" | "text/plain" | "text/xml" | ...;
$data = "<something>";
// script
if($port == 443)
$sslhost = "ssl://".$host;
else
$sslhost = $host;
$fp = fsockopen($sslhost, $port);
fputs($fp, "$method $path HTTP/1.1\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Host: $host\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-type: $contenttype\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($data)."\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n");
fputs($fp, "\r\n");
?>
The server usually does not understand the HTTP-header "Host: XXX" if you provide it with the trailing "ssl://" used by fsockopen(); If you do it anyway you probably get a HTTP 400 back as response. :-)

Make a ping test with PHP
The problem with fsockopen is you have to known the destination port.
A real ping function could be :
<?php
function php_ping($url) {
$addr=parse_url($url);
$host=$addr['host'];
exec("ping -c 1 -w 1 $host", $list);
if (strpos($list[4],"1 received")>0) {
return true ;
}
return false;
}
?>
But if your router refuse the ping ... the result will be always false > you may test both (fsockopen and ping)

After several days of trying to get telnet going from php 5.2, i've come up with http://www.dali.net.nz/Telnet.class.php.txt
based on the one found at http://cvs.adfinis.ch/cvs.php/phpStreamcast/telnet.class.php
example usage:
<?php
$telnet = new Telnet('telnethost.example.com');
$telnet->login('username', 'password');
echo $telnet->exec('ifconfig') . "\n";
echo $telnet->exec('ls -lh') . "\n";
$telnet->disconnect();

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.

I ran into a problem where I needed to make an fsockopen() style connection from one specific ip address on a server with multiple ip aliases. Unfortunately fsockopen() does not allow the specification of a source address making it unsuitable. I could not find any other solutions elsewhere so here is mine for those with php 5.1.0 or greater.
<?php
// connect to the internet using the '192.168.0.100' IP
$opts = array('socket' => array('bindto' => '192.168.0.100:0'));
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$fp = stream_socket_client("tcp://www.example.com:80", $errno, $errstr, 30, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT, $context);
?>
Now $fp can be used like a resource handle returned by a vanilla fsockopen() call!

A code is better than the feof.

fputs($fp, "USER $user\r\n");
fread($fp,1024);
fputs($fp, "PASS $pass\r\n");
fread($fp,1024);
fputs($fp, "UIDL\r\n");
fgets($fp,1024);

$line = rtrim(fgets($fp, 1024));

echo $UIDL;

HTTP/1.1 requires that all clients support chunked transfer encoding. If you don't want to implement that and just want something simple, make HTTP/1.0 requests instead:
<?php
...
fputs("GET $path HTTP/1.0\r\n");
fputs("Host: $host\r\n");
...etc..

[EDIT by danbrown AT php DOT net: This note contains a big-fixed version of the user function decode_body(). Fix by (martjean77 at hot dot sapm dot mail dot com) [sic].]
Handling chunked data needs careful handling, because the data can also be compressed inside the chunked data, and chunked data can have many parts, so you need to watch for that. Here a simple example that uses one function decode_header(); to build the header into a key => value array, so it makes it easy to test for the content and transfer types inside the decode_body(); function!
<?php
function decode_header ( $str )

$part = preg_split ( "/\r?\n/", $str, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY );
$out = array ();

{
$pos = strpos ( $part[$h], ':' );
$k = strtolower ( str_replace ( ' ', '', substr ( $part[$h], 0, $pos ) ) );
$v = trim ( substr ( $part[$h], ( $pos + 1 ) ) );

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, $errstr, 5)) // attempt to connect
{
echo "Server is down";
}
else
{
echo "Server is up";
if ($x)
{
@fclose($x); //close connection
}

here is my contribution for parsing chunked data.
please note: this function simply handles the RESPONSE, not the HEADERS, it would be your job to check the headers for 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked' field:
<?php
function parseChunked($response) {
$do = true;
$return = "";
$size = NULL;
while($do) {
// suppress warnings w/ @ if offset not in string (past end)
$pos = @strpos($response, "\r\n", 0);
if(!($pos === false) && $size === NULL) {
// we found CRLF, get len from hex
$size = hexdec(substr($response, 0, $pos));
// get the actual chunk-len, reset $response, $size
$return .= substr($response, $pos+2, $size);
$response = substr($response, ($pos+2) + $size);
$size = NULL;
}
else {
$do = false;
} // end if/else
} // end while
return $return;
} // end function parseChunked()
?>
Any recomendations or improvements please post

I had a problem receving a "Content-Transfer: chunked" response i tried some prior codes but i had some problems too and i decided to code my own (it post something and receive the response although it's chunked). I hope you enjoy...
