Socket Communication for PHP

You're not a stranger to TCP/IP, UDP,socket programming. With the development of network technology, these words are filled with our ears. Then I would like to ask:

1. What is TCP/IP,UDP?
2. where is the socket?
3. What is a socket?
4. Will you use them?

What is TCP/IP ,UDP ?

TCP/IP (transmission Control protocol/internet Protocol) is a protocol/inter-network protocol, an industry-standard set of protocols designed for wide area networks (WANs).
UDP (user Data Protocol, Subscriber Datagram Protocol) is the protocol that corresponds to TCP. It is a part of the TCP/IP protocol family.
Here is a diagram showing the relationship of these protocols.

The TCP/IP protocol family includes transport layer, network layer, and link layer. Now you know the relationship between TCP/IP and UDP.
Where's the socket?
In Figure 1, we don't see the socket shadow, so where is it? Or use a diagram to speak, at a glance.

The original socket is here.
What is a socket?
A socket is an intermediate software abstraction layer that the application layer communicates with the TCP/IP protocol family, which is a set of interfaces. In design mode, the socket is actually a façade mode, it is the complex TCP/IP protocol family hidden behind the socket interface, for the user, a set of simple interface is all, let the socket to organize data to meet the specified protocol.
Will you use them?
Predecessors have done a lot of things to us, the communication between the network is a lot simpler, but after all, there is still a lot of work to do. Previously heard socket programming, think it is more advanced programming knowledge, but as long as understand how the socket programming principle, the mysterious veil also opened.
A scene in the life. You have to call a friend, dial first, a friend hears a phone call, and then you and your friend establish a connection, you can talk. When the communication is over, hang up the phone and end the conversation. The scene in life explains this work principle, perhaps the TCP/IP protocol family is born in the life, this is not necessarily.

Start with the server side. The server-side initializes the socket, then binds to the port (BIND), listens to the port (listen), calls the Accept block, waits for the client to connect. At this point if a client initializes a socket and then connects to the server (connect), the client-server connection is established if the connection is successful. The client sends the data request, the server receives the request and processes the request, then sends the response data to the client, the client reads the data, closes the connection, and ends the interaction at the end.

Case ONE: Socket communication Demo

Server-side:

 1 <?php 2//Ensure that the client is connected without time-out 3 set_time_limit (0); 4 5 $ip = ' 127.0.0.1 '; 6 $port = 1935; 7 8/* 9 +-------------------------------* @socket communication The whole process one by one +-------------------------------* @socket_crea TE13 * @socket_bind14 * @socket_listen15 * @socket_accept16 * @socket_read17 * @socket_write18 * @ SOCKET_CLOSE19 +--------------------------------*/21///----------------The following operations are on the manual-------------------*/23 i F (($sock = Socket_create (af_inet,sock_stream,sol_tcp)) < 0) {echo "Socket_create () failed due to:".

"\ n";}30 if (($ret = Socket_listen ($sock, 4)) < 0) {echo "Socket_listen () failed because:". Socket_strerror ($ret). " \ n ";}34 $count = 0;36 Notoginseng do {($msgsock = socket_accept ($sock)) < 0) {" echo "socket_accept () Failed:reason: ". Socket_strerror ($msgsock). "\ n";BREAK;41} else {42 43//Sent to client $msg = "Test succeeded! \ n "; Socket_write ($msgsock, $msg, strlen ($msg)); echo" Test succeeded AH \ n "; $buf = Socket_r         EAD ($msgsock, 8192); $talkback = "message Received: $BUF \ n"; Echo $talkback; 53 54 if (+ + $count >= 5) {break;56};57}60//echo $buf; socket_clo SE ($msgsock); Socket_close (true);?> ($sock);

This is the server-side code for the socket. Then run CMD, note that it is your own program to store the path AH.

No reflection, the current service side of the program has started to run, the port has started to listen. Run Netstat-ano to see the port condition, mine is port 1935.

Look, the port is already in the listening state. Next we just run the client program to connect. On the Code

 1 <?php 2 error_reporting (E_all); 3 Set_time_limit (0); 4 echo "
The client is already connected to the service side.
Case two: Code explanation
Set some basic variables
$host = "192.168.1.99";
$port = 1234;
Setting the time-out period
Set_time_limit (0);
Create a socket
$socket = Socket_create (af_inet, sock_stream, 0) or die ("Could not createsocket\n");
Bind socket to Port
$result = Socket_bind ($socket, $host, $port) or Die ("Could not bind tosocket\n");
Start listening links
$result = Socket_listen ($socket, 3) or Die ("Could not set up socketlistener\n");
Accept Incoming Connections
Another socket to handle communication
$spawn = socket_accept ($socket) or Die ("Could not accept incomingconnection\n");
Get input from the client
$input = Socket_read ($spawn, 1024x768) or Die ("Could not read input\n");
Empty the input string
$input = Trim ($input);
Processing client input and returning results
$output = Strrev ($input). "\ n";
Socket_write ($spawn, $output, strlen ($output)) or Die ("Could not write
Output\n ");
Close sockets
Socket_close ($spawn);
Socket_close ($socket);

The following is a detailed description of each of these steps:

1. The first step is to create two variables to hold the IP address and port of the server on which the socket is running. You can set up your own server and port (this port can be a number from 1 to 65535), provided that the port is not in use.
[Copy to clipboard]PHP CODE:// 设置两个变量
$host = "192.168.1.99";
$port = 1234;

2. The Set_time_out () function can be used on the server side to ensure that PHP does not time out while waiting for the client to connect.
[Copy to clipboard]PHP CODE:// 超时时间
set_time_limit(0);

3. On the previous basis, it is now time to use the Socket_creat () function to create a socket-this function returns a socket handle that will be used in all subsequent functions.
[Copy to clipboard]PHP CODE:// 创建Socket
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0) or die("Could not create
socket\n");

The first parameter "Af_inet" is used to specify a domain name;
The second argument "Sock_strem" tells the function what type of socket to create (in this case TCP type)

So, if you want to create a UDP socket, you can use the following code:
[Copy to clipboard]PHP CODE:// 创建 socket
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0) or die("Could not create
socket\n");

4. Once a socket handle is created, the next step is to specify or bind it to the specified address and port. This can be done through the Socket_bind () function.
[Copy to clipboard]PHP CODE:// 绑定 socket to 指定地址和端口
$result = socket_bind($socket, $host, $port) or die("Could not bind to
socket\n");

5. When the socket is created and bound to a port, you can start listening for external connections. PHP allows you to start a listener by the Socket_listen () function, and you can specify a number (in this case, the second parameter: 3)
[Copy to clipboard]PHP CODE:// 开始监听连接
$result = socket_listen($socket, 3) or die("Could not set up socket
listener\n");

6. Until now, your server has done nothing but wait for a connection request from the client. Once a client's connection is received, the socket_accept () function begins to work, receiving a connection request and invoking another child socket to process the client-server information.
[Copy to clipboard]PHP CODE://接受请求链接
// 调用子socket 处理信息
$spawn = socket_accept($socket) or die("Could not accept incoming
connection\n");

This sub-socket can now be used by subsequent client-server communications.

7. When a connection is established, the server waits for the client to send some input information, which can be obtained by the Socket_read () function and assign it to the PHP $input variable.
[Copy to clipboard]PHP CODE:// 读取客户端输入
$input = socket_read($spawn, 1024) or die("Could not read input\n");
?&gt;

The first parameter of the Socker_read specifies the number of bytes to read, which you can use to limit the size of the data that is fetched from the client.

Note: The Socket_read function will always read the shell data until it encounters the \n,\t or the/s character. The PHP script considers this character to be the input terminator.

8. The server must now handle these data sent by the client (in this case the processing only contains data input and is uploaded to the client). This can be done by the Socket_write () function (which makes it possible to send a data stream back to the client by a communication socket)
[Copy to clipboard]PHP CODE:// 处理客户端输入并返回数据
$output = strrev($input) . "\n";
socket_write($spawn, $output, strlen ($output)) or die("Could not write
output\n");

9. Once the output is returned to the client, the parent/child socket should be terminated by the Socket_close () function
[Copy to clipboard]PHP CODE:// 关闭 sockets
socket_close($spawn);
socket_close($socket);
