PHP Fsockopen Solution PHP Implementation Multithreading _php instance

Reply:
When someone wants to implement concurrent functionality, they usually think of using fork or spawn
threads, but when they find out that PHP doesn't support multithreading, they probably switch ideas to use some bad language, like Perl.
In fact, in most cases, you don't have to use fork or threads, and you get better performance than using fork or thread.
Suppose you want to set up a service to check the running N servers to make sure they're still working. You might write the following code:

Copy Code code as follows:

<?php
$hosts = Array ("host1.sample.com", "host2.sample.com", "host3.sample.com");
$timeout = 15; $status = Array ();
foreach ($hosts as $host) {
$errno = 0;
$errstr = "";
$s = Fsockopen ($host, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);
if ($s) {
$status [$host] = "Connectedn";
Fwrite ($s, "head/http/1.0rnhost: $hostrnrn");
do {
$data = Fread ($s, 8192);
if (strlen ($data) = = 0) {break;}
$status [$host]. = $data;
} while (true); Fclose ($s);
} else {
$status [$host] = "Connection failed: $errno $errstrn";
}
}
Print_r ($status);
?>

It works well, but it can take a long time to extend this code to manage a large number of servers before Fsockopen () finishes analyzing hostname and building a successful connection (or delay $timeout seconds).
So we have to discard this code; We can establish an asynchronous connection-no need to wait for Fsockopen to return to the connection state. PHP still needs to parse hostname (so it's more sensible to use IP directly), but it will return immediately after opening a connection, and then we can connect to the next server.
There are two ways to implement this; PHP5 can replace Fsocketopen () directly with the new Stream_socket_client () function. Before the PHP5 version, you need to do it yourself and use the sockets extension to solve the problem.
Here is the workaround in PHP5:

Copy Code code as follows:

<?php
$hosts = Array ("host1.sample.com", "host2.sample.com", "host3.sample.com");
$timeout = 15;
$status = Array ();
$sockets = Array ();
foreach ($hosts as $id => $host) {
$s = Stream_socket_client ("$host:), $errno, $errstr, $timeout, stream_client_async_connect| Stream_client_connect);
if ($s) {
$sockets [$id] = $s;
$status [$id] = "in progress";
} else {
$status [$id] = "failed, $errno $errstr";
}
}
while (count ($sockets)) {
$read = $write = $sockets;
$n = Stream_select ($read, $write, $e = null, $timeout);
if ($n > 0) {
foreach ($read as $r) {
$id = Array_search ($r, $sockets);
$data = Fread ($r, 8192);
if (strlen ($data) = = 0) {
if ($status [$id] = = "in progress") {
$status [$id] = "failed to connect";
}
Fclose ($R);
Unset ($sockets [$id]);
} else {
$status [$id]. = $data;
}
}
foreach ($write as $w) {
$id = Array_search ($w, $sockets);
Fwrite ($w, "Head/http/1.0rnhost:". $hosts [$id]. "Rnrn");
$status [$id] = "Waiting for response";
}
} else {
foreach ($sockets as $id => $s) {
$status [$id] = "Timed out". $status [$id];
}
Break
}
}
foreach ($hosts as $id => $host) {
echo "Host: $hostn"; echo "Status:". $status [$id]. "NN";
}
?>

We use Stream_select () to wait for the sockets open connection event. Stream_select () calls the system's Select (2) function to work: The first three parameters are the array of streams you want to use; You can read, write, and get exceptions (three parameters, respectively). Stream_select () Can wait for an event to occur by setting the $timeout (seconds) parameter, and the corresponding sockets data will be written to the parameters you pass in.
The following is the implementation of the PHP4.1.0 version, if you already include sockets (Ext/sockets) support in compiling PHP, you can use code similar to the root, just need to use the function of the above Streams/filesystem function ext/ sockets function implementation. The main difference is that we use the following function instead
Stream_socket_client () To establish a connection:

Copy Code code as follows:

<?php
This value is correct for Linux, and other systems have other values
Define (' einprogress ', 115);
function Non_blocking_connect ($host, $port, & $errno, & $errstr, $timeout) {
$ip = gethostbyname ($host);
$s = socket_create (af_inet, sock_stream, 0);
if (Socket_set_nonblock ($s)) {
$r = @socket_connect ($s, $ip, $port);
if ($r | | socket_last_error () = einprogress) {
$errno = einprogress; return $s;
}
}
$errno = Socket_last_error ($s);
$errstr = Socket_strerror ($errno);
Socket_close ($s);
return false;
}
?>

Now replace Stream_select () with Socket_select (), replace fread () with Socket_read (), replace Socket_write () with fwrite (), Socket_close ( Replace fclose () to execute the script! The advanced thing about
PHP5 is that you can handle almost any stream-with Stream_select () For example, you can use it to receive keyboard input and save it in an array, and you can also receive it via Proc_open () The data in the open pipe.
If you want php4.3.x to have the ability to handle streams, I have a patch for you to get fsockopen to work asynchronously. Not in favor of using this patch, the patch will not appear in the official PHP version, I included in the patch stream_socket_client () function of the implementation, through which you can make your script compatible with
PHP5.
