fsockopen

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

    fsockopen — 打开 Internet 或者 Unix 套接字连接

    说明

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

    初始化套接字连接到指定 hostname 资源。

    如所支持的套接字传输器列表所述，PHP 支持 Internet 和 Unix 域中的目标。也可以通过 stream_get_transports() 获取支持的传输器列表。

    默认情况下将以阻塞模式开启套接字连接。可以通过 stream_set_blocking() 将它转换到非阻塞模式。

    stream_socket_client() 与之非常相似，而且提供了更加丰富的参数设置，包括非阻塞连接和提供流上下文的能力。

    参数

    hostname

    如果安装了 OpenSSL，那么可以在主机名地址前面添加 ssl:// 或者是 tls://，从而可以使用基于 TCP/IP 协议的 SSL 或者 TLS 的客户端连接到远程主机。

    port

    端口号。可以省略该参数或传 -1，则表示传输器不使用端口，例如 unix://。

    error_code

    如果提供该参数，则会保存调用系统级别 connect() 发生的系统级错误号。

    如果 error_code 的返回值为 0，且函数的返回值为 false，则表明错误发生在 connect() 调用之前。这很可能是由于初始化套接字的问题。

    error_message

    错误信息将以字符串的信息返回。

    timeout

    设置连接的时限，单位为秒。当为 null 时，使用 default_socket_timeout php.ini 设置。

    注意:

    如果需要对为套接字读/写数据数据操作设置超时，请使用 stream_set_timeout()，fsockopen() 的 timeout 参数仅仅在连接套接字时适用。

    返回值

    fsockopen() 返回文件指针，可以跟其他文件函数（比如 fgets()、fgetss()、fwrite()、fclose() 和 feof()）一起使用。如果调用失败，将返回 false。

    错误／异常

    如果 hostname 不是有效域，则抛出 E_WARNING。

    更新日志

    版本 说明
    8.0.0 timeout 现在可以为 null。

    示例

    示例 #1 fsockopen() 示例

    <?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);
    }
    ?>

    示例 #2 使用 UDP 连接

    下面这个例子展示了怎么样在自己的机器上通过 UDP 服务“daytime”（端口号 13）中来检索日期和时间。

    <?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);
    }
    ?>

    注释

    注意:

    根据环境的不同，Unix 域或可选的连接超时可能无效。

    警告

    即使远程主机无法访问，UDP 套接字有时候也能打开且无错误。只有当从套接字读/写数据的时候才会出现错误。这样的原因是 UDP 是“无连接”协议，这意味着在真正发送/接收数据之前，操作系统不会尝试为套接字创建连接。

    注意: 当指定数值型的 IPv6 地址（例如 fe80::1）时必须用方括号将 IP 围起来——例如， 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 (    $x)
    {
    @    fclose($x); //close connection
    }
    }
    }
    }

    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");

    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.

    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.

    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 (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+.

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

    <?php

    $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

    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.

    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.

    The following function performs pop3 authentication. Returns NULL on error, or true/false to indicate username/password matching:

    $address is the hostname of the server and $ssl is a boolean that indicates whether an SSL connection is requested.

    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));
    $data .="Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"userfile\"; filename=\"$file_name\"\r\n";
    $data .= "Content-Type: $content_type\r\n\r\n";
    $data .= "".$content_file."\r\n";
    $data .="--$boundary--\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-length: " . strlen($data) . "\r\n\r\n";
    // Open the connection
    $fp = fsockopen($remote_server, 80);
    // then just

    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

    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
    $port    =4000;
    $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 (    $i = 1; $i < $lineamount+1; $i++) {

    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);

    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);

    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);

    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"

    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.

    Opening non-existing socket file via `unix//` protocol will result in exception also when suppressing error with @ like:
    <?php
    $fh     = @fsockopen('unix:///var/run/file-not-exists.sock');
    ?>

    It is important to know when migrating from PHP 7.4 to 8.x, as handling error suppression with @ has changed.

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

    }

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

    public function     get_request_url() {

    fclose($fd);
    }

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

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

    }

    $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.

    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.

    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")))); ?>
