socket_recv

(PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

socket_recvBağlı bir soketten veri alır

Açıklama

socket_recv(
    Socket $soket,
    ?string &$tampon,
    int $uzunluk,
    int $seçenekler
): int|false

socket_recv() işlevi soket ile belirtilen soketten tampon içindeki uzunluk baytı okur. socket_recv() ayrıca, bağlantılı soketlerden veri toplama için de kullanılır. Buna ek olarak işlevin davranışlarında değişiklik yapmak için bir veya daha fazla sayıda seçenek belirtilebilir.

tampon gönderimli aktarılır, dolayısıyla işlevin bağımsız değişkenleri arasında bir değişken olarak yer almalıdır. socket_recv() tarafından socket soketinden okunan veri tampon'a konarak döndürülür.

Bağımsız Değişkenler

soket

socket_create() ile önceden oluşturulmuş geçerli bir Socket örneği.

tampon

Verinin alınacağı değişken burada belirtilir. Bir hata oluşursa, bağlantı kesilirse veya alınacak bir veri yoksa tampon'dan null döner.

uzunluk

Okunacak azami bayt sayısını belirler.

seçenekler

Aşağıdaki seçeneklerin bitsel VEYAlanmış bir birleşimi.

Olası seçenekler
MSG_OOB Band dışı veri gönderilir.
MSG_EOR Bir kayıt imi belirtir. Gönderilen veri kaydın tamamlanmasını sağlar.
MSG_EOF Soketin gönderici tarafı kapatılır ve gönderilen verinin sonuna bununla ilgili bir bildirim yerleştirilir. Gönderilen veri aktarımın tamamlanmasını sağlar.
MSG_DONTROUTE Yönlendirme es geçilip doğrudan arabirim kullanılır.

Dönen Değerler

Bir hata oluşmuşsa false yoksa alınan bayt sayısını döndürür. Oluşan hatanın kodu socket_last_error() ile açıklaması ise, elde edilen hata kodu socket_strerror() işlevine aktarılarak alınabilir.

Sürüm Bilgisi

Sürüm: Açıklama
8.0.0soket artık bir Socket örneği olabiliyor; evvelce resource türündeydi.

Örnekler

Örnek 1 - socket_recv() örneği

Bu örnek, Örnekler arasında socket_recv() kullanan ilk örneğin yeniden yazılmışıdır.

<?php
error_reporting
(E_ALL);

echo
"<h2>TCP/IP Bağlantısı</h2>\n";

/* HTTP hizmeti için portu öğrenelim. */
$service_port = getservbyname('www', 'tcp');

/* Hedef konağın IP adresini alalım. */
$address = gethostbyname('www.example.com');

/* Bir TCP/IP soketi oluşturalım. */
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
if (
$socket === false) {
echo
"socket_create() başısız oldu: sebep: " .
socket_strerror(socket_last_error()) . "\n";
} else {
echo
"OK.\n";
}

echo
"'$service_port' portundun '$address' adresine bağlanmaya çalışılıyor...";
$result = socket_connect($socket, $address, $service_port);
if (
$result === false) {
echo
"socket_connect() başısız oldu:\nSebep: ($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
"HTTP HEAD isteğini gönderelim...";
socket_write($socket, $in, strlen($in));
echo
"OK.\n";

echo
"Yanıtı okuyalım:\n\n";
$buf = 'Bu bir veri tamponu verisidir.';
if (
false !== ($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";
?>

Yukarıdaki örnek şuna benzer bir çıktı üretir:

<h2>TCP/IP Bağlantısı</h2>
OK.
'80' portundan '208.77.188.166' adresine bağlanmaya çalışılıyor...OK.
HTTP HEAD isteği gönderiliyor...OK.
Okunan yanıt:

Read 123 bytes from socket_recv(). Closing socket...HTTP/1.1 200 OK

I've used socket_select and socket_recv with a while loop and found myself in trouble when remote side closed connection. The code below produced infinite loop and socket_select returned immediately (which lead to high cpu time consumption).

<?

socket_set_nonblock($my_socket);
$streams = array($my_socket/*, ... */);

$lastAccess = time();
while (socket_select($streams, $write = NULL, $except = NULL, SLEEP_TIME_SECONDS, SLEEP_TIME_MILLISECONDS) !== FALSE) {
if (in_array($my_socket, $streams)) {
while (@socket_recv($my_socket, $data, 8192, 0)) {
echo $data;
}
$lastAccess = time();
} else {
if (time()-$lastAccess > LAST_ACCESS_TIMEOUT) {
break;
}
}
// ...
$streams = array($my_socket/*, ... */);
}

?>

The solution was simple, but quite hard to find because socket_recv is not documented. socket_recv returns FALSE if there is no data and 0 if the socket is widowed (disconnected by remote side). So I had just to check return value of socket_recv. The problem now sounds stupid, but I've spend some time to find it out.
I hope this will save some of somebody's hair ;)

It looks like that mysterious flags are just the recv(2) flags passed to your OS syscall and nothing more...

ext/sockets/sockets.c:PHP_FUNCTION(socket_recv)
...
if ((retval = recv(php_sock->bsd_socket, recv_buf, len, flags)) < 1) {
efree(recv_buf);
...

for linux you can type `man 2 recv' and you will see complete description of thouse flags.

in case you want to empty/unset $buffer, but failing to do so, try using 0 as flag.
PHP_NORMAL_READ and PHP_BINARY_READ respectively hold 1 and 2 as value.

In PHP version 5.* there is a bug: MSG_DONTWAIT flag is not defined (see https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48326)

It seems like the flags are just passed to the underlying recv() function of your OS, hence there no MSG_DONTWAIT flag on Windows and you should not define it yourself in that case, it just won't work.

I'm glad that Bastion left the above post about the mysterious int flag. He just helped to fix a problem that I've spent six hours on. Here's my code:

for($ct=1; $ct<=$numrecs; $ct++) {
$rec = "";
$nr=socket_recv($fp,$rec,77,0);
print "Rec # $ct -->";
print "$rec";
print "<br>";
}

The code is pretty simple, it just loops through all my records and prints them out. All records are 77 bytes and all end with a period. The first 36 records print perfectly then at 37 things go bad. The records start to get offset. The last few characters of the 37th record end up printing on the 38th record. The data on the sending side was perfect, so I knew that the problem was with socked_recv.

After reading the above post I tried changing the int flag. Changing the flag to 2 worked:
$nr=socket_recv($fp,$rec,77,2);

Now everything lines up perfectly. I had always left int flag as 0 since it's undocumented.

My last post was incorrect. The int flag set to 2 apparently reset the file position pointer so what I was reading was the first record repeatedly.

My workaroud ended up being the following:

for($ct=1; $ct<=$numrecs; $ct++) {
$rec = "";
$nr=socket_recv($fp,$rec,76,0);

//grab the extra bytes.
$terminator = "";
while ($terminator != ".") {
$nr=socket_recv($fp,$terminator,1,0);
}

$custarray[]=substr($rec,0,76);
}

To read from socket both on linux and windows OS having flash as a client I use function bellow. $length is the size of a chunk, not the max length to read. It will continue reading until EOL char occures or client disconnects (or in case of error), so it works for bigger packets as well.

function read($descriptor, $length = 1024) {
$this->method = "read";
if(!$client){
echo("No valid socket descriptor !\n");
return false;
}
$read ='';
while(($flag=socket_recv($descriptor, $buf, $length,0))>0){
$asc=ord(substr($buf, -1));
if ($asc==0) {
$read.=substr($buf,0,-1);
break;
}else{
$read.=$buf;
}
}
if ($flag<0){
//error
return false;
}elseif ($flag==0){
//Client disconnected
return false;
}else{
return $read;
}

socket_recv()
returns FALSE if client returned no data
returns 0 (zero) if client disconnected

also (asuming case socket_select() "gave" us a "changed" socket):
if
socket_recv() returned FALSE
and no bytes were received
then
client "crashed" (call it disconnected).

else if
socket_recv() returned 0 (zero)
and no bytes were received
then
client "normaly" disconnected.

Im pretty sure -- 99.99%.
Example:
<?php
function receive($socket)
{
// !
// on all following cases we assume that
// socket_select() returned the current socket as "changed"
// !

$timeout = 3; // set your timeout

/* important */
$socket_recv_return_values['no_data_received'] = false;
$socket_recv_return_values['client_disconnected'] = 0;

$start = time();
$received_data = null;
$received_bytes = null;
socket_set_nonblock($socket);
socket_clear_error();
while(
(
$t_out=((time()-$start) >= $timeout)) === false
and ($read=@socket_recv($socket, $buf, 4096, 0)) >= 1
){
$received_data = (isset($received_data)) ? $received_data . $buf : $buf;
$received_bytes = (isset($received_bytes)) ? $received_bytes + $read : $read;
}
$last_error = socket_last_error($socket);
socket_set_block($socket);

if(
$t_out === true){
throw new
Exception(
'timeout after ' . ((!$received_bytes) ? 0 : $received_bytes) . ' bytes',
0 // your eCode here
);
}
elseif(
$last_error !== false and $last_error !== 0){
throw new
Exception(
socket_strerror($last_error),
$last_error
);
}
else{
if(
$read === $socket_recv_return_values['no_data_received']){
// client returned NO DATA
// but we were in a loop and could have got some data before:
if($received_bytes < 1){
// client is connected but sent NO DATA ?
// no:
// in this case the client must be "crashed" because -
// it is not possible to "send no data" (zero bytes)
// socket_select() now returns this socket as "changed" "forever"
throw new Exception(
'client crashed',
0 // your eCode here
);
}else{
// client returned DATA
return $received_data;
}
}
elseif(
$read === $socket_recv_return_values['client_disconnected']){
// client disconnected
if($received_bytes < 1){
// client disconnected before/without sending any bytes
throw new Exception(
'client disconnected',
0 // your eCode here
);
}
else{
// *this value* ^= $socket_recv_return_values['client_disconnected']
//
// client disconnected AFTER sending data (we were in a loop!)
// socket_select() will return this socket "forever" as "changed" and -
// socket_recv() will return *this value* "forever".
// we will be "back" again "very soon" to see:
// socket_recv() returns *this value* AND no bytes received
// which results in disconnect-exception above
return $received_data;
}
}
}

Usage example for MSG_PEEK: this function tells if the socket has data available to be read, but preserving it to be read at a future moment.

<?php
// Workaround for the missing define
if(!defined('MSG_DONTWAIT')) define('MSG_DONTWAIT', 0x40);

// Function to check if there is data available in the socket
function SocketHasData($socket) {
// Based on the following fact:
// $result=0 -> disconnected, $result=false -> no data

$data = ''; // We need a buffer, but we won't use it

// MSG_PEEK means to preserve data in the queue, so it can
// actually be read afterwards
$result = socket_recv($socket, $data, 1, MSG_PEEK | MSG_DONTWAIT );

if (
$result === false) return false; // If no data, returns false
return true; // Otherwise returns true
}
?>
