I have made a socket connection using php which is working perfectly below is the code for single socket but not working with multiple connections only accepts one connection at a time
error_reporting(E_ALL);
// sudo lsof -t -i:10000
// php -f server.php
/* Allow the script to hang around waiting for connections. */
set_time_limit(0);
/* Turn on implicit output flushing so we see what we're getting
* as it comes in. */
ob_implicit_flush();
$address = '192.168.5.155';
$port = 3490;
if (($sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP)) === false) {
echo "socket_create() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error()) . "\n";
}
if (socket_bind($sock, $address, $port) === false) {
echo "socket_bind() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error($sock)) . "\n";
}
if (socket_listen($sock, 1024) === false) {
echo "socket_listen() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error($sock)) . "\n";
}
do {
if (($msgsock = socket_accept($sock)) === false) {
echo "socket_accept() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error($sock)) . "\n";
break;
}
/* Send instructions. */
$msg = "\nWelcome to the PHP Test Server. \n" .
"To quit, type 'quit'. To shut down the server type 'shutdown'.\n";
socket_write($msgsock, $msg, strlen($msg));
do {
if (false === ($buf = socket_read($msgsock, 2048, PHP_BINARY_READ))) {
/*echo "socket_read() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error($msgsock)) . "\n";
break 2;*/
}
if (!$buf = trim($buf)) {
continue;
}
if ($buf == 'quit') {
break 2;
}
if ($buf == 'shutdown') {
socket_close($msgsock);
break 2;
}
$talkback = "PHP: You said '$buf'.\n";
if($buf != '')
{
$req_get = $talkback;
$file = time();
$fp = fopen('data/'.$file.'.txt', 'a+');
fwrite($fp, $req_get);
fclose($fp);
socket_write($msgsock, $talkback, strlen($talkback));
}
//echo "$buf\n";
} while (true);
socket_close($msgsock);
} while (true);
socket_close($sock);
I need a help to just make it work with multiple connection with clients. After that i need to make entry into database from client sent data.
You can't listen many sockets using blocking socket connections at the same time. What you need is non-blocking socket connections with socket_select method instead of socket_accept
.
My suggestion is to use some kind of PHP event-loop implementations (like reactphp).
Anyway, if you still want to implement it yourself, you can check the example of stream_select
usage in reactphp/event-loop StreamSelectLoop implementation.
