(PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, PHP 5)
socket_recv — Receives data from a connected socket
The socket_recv() function receives len bytes of data in buf from socket. socket_recv() can be used to gather data from connected sockets. Additionally, one or more flags can be specified to modify the behaviour of the function.
buf is passed by reference, so it must be specified as a variable in the argument list. Data read from socket by socket_recv() will be returned in buf.
The socket must be a socket resource previously created by socket_create().
The data received will be fetched to the variable specified with buf. If an error occurs, if the connection is reset, or if no data is available, buf will be set to NULL.
Up to len bytes will be fetched from remote host.
The value of flags can be any combination of the following flags, joined with the binary OR (|) operator.
Flag | Description |
---|---|
MSG_OOB | Process out-of-band data. |
MSG_PEEK | Receive data from the beginning of the receive queue without removing it from the queue. |
MSG_WAITALL | Block until at least len are received. However, if a signal is caught or the remote host disconnects, the function may return less data. |
MSG_DONTWAIT | With this flag set, the function returns even if it would normally have blocked. |
socket_recv() returns the number of bytes received, or FALSE if there was an error. The actual error code can be retrieved by calling socket_last_error(). This error code may be passed to socket_strerror() to get a textual explanation of the error.
Example #1 socket_recv() example
This example is a simple rewrite of the first example from 范例 to use socket_recv().
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo "<h2>TCP/IP Connection</h2>\n";
/* Get the port for the WWW service. */
$service_port = getservbyname('www', 'tcp');
/* Get the IP address for the target host. */
$address = gethostbyname('www.example.com');
/* Create a TCP/IP socket. */
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
if ($socket === false) {
echo "socket_create() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error()) . "\n";
} else {
echo "OK.\n";
}
echo "Attempting to connect to '$address' on port '$service_port'...";
$result = socket_connect($socket, $address, $service_port);
if ($result === false) {
echo "socket_connect() failed.\nReason: ($result) " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error($socket)) . "\n";
} else {
echo "OK.\n";
}
$in = "HEAD / HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$in .= "Host: www.example.com\r\n";
$in .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
$out = '';
echo "Sending HTTP HEAD request...";
socket_write($socket, $in, strlen($in));
echo "OK.\n";
echo "Reading response:\n\n";
$buf = 'This is my buffer.';
if (false !== ($bytes = socket_recv($socket, $buf, 2048, MSG_WAITALL))) {
echo "Read $bytes bytes from socket_recv(). Closing socket...";
} else {
echo "socket_recv() failed; reason: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error($socket)) . "\n";
}
socket_close($socket);
echo $buf . "\n";
echo "OK.\n\n";
?>
The above example will produce something like:
<h2>TCP/IP Connection</h2> OK. Attempting to connect to '208.77.188.166' on port '80'...OK. Sending HTTP HEAD request...OK.
