socket_create_pair
Note that if you create a socket with AF_UNIX, a file will be created in the filesystem. This file is not removed when you call socket_close - you should unlink the file after you close the socket.
socket_create
(PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, PHP 5)
socket_create — Cria um socket (endpoint para comunicação)
Descrição
resource socket_create
( int $domain
, int $type
, int $protocol
)
Cria e retorna um socket resource, também referenciado como um endpoint para comunicação. Uma conexão típica de rede é feita em cima de 2 sockets, um realizando o papel do cliente, e o outro realizando o papel de servidor.
O parâmetro domain especifica a família do protocolo para ser usado pelo socket.
| Domínio | Descrição |
|---|---|
| AF_INET | IPv4 baseado nos protocolos de Internet. TCP e UDP são protocolos comuns dessa família de protocolos. |
| AF_INET6 | IPv6 baseado nos protocolos de Internet. TCP e UDP são protocolos comuns dessa família de protocolos. Suporta adicionado no PHP 5.0.0. |
| AF_UNIX | Família de protocolos de comunicação local. Alta eficiência e baixo sobrecarga fazem deste uma forte forma de IPC (Processos internos de comunicação). |
O parâmetro type seleciona o tipo de comunicação para ser usado pelo socket.
| Tipo | Descrição |
|---|---|
| SOCK_STREAM | Fornece sequencial, seguro, e em ambos os sentidos, conexões baseadas em "byte streams". Dados "out-of-band" do mecanismo de transmissão devem ser suportados. O protocolo TCP é baseado neste tipo de socket. |
| SOCK_DGRAM | Suporta diagrama de dados (baixa conexão, mensagens inconfiáveis de um comprimento máximo fixo). O protocolo UDP protocol é baseado neste tipo de socket. |
| SOCK_SEQPACKET | Fornece um sequencial, seguro, e em duas direções de tipos de conexões para transmissão de dados endereçados para o diagrama de dados de comprimento máximo fixo; um consumidor é requerido para ler um pacote inteiro com cada chamada de leitura. |
| SOCK_RAW | Fornece um protocolo de rede de acesso rápido. Este tipo especial de socket pode ser usado manualmente para construir algum tipo de protocolo. Um uso comum para esse tipo de socket é desempenhar requisições ICMP (como ping, traceroute, etc). |
| SOCK_RDM | Fornece uma camada seguro que não garante ordenação. Isso é comumente não implementado no seu sistema operacional. |
O parâmetro protocol configura o protocolo especificado dentro do domain especificado para ser usado quando houver comunicação de retorno com o socket. O valor da propriedade pode ser retornado pelo nome usando getprotobyname(). Se o protocolo desejado é TCP, ou UDP as constantes correspondentes são SOL_TCP, e SOL_UDP podem também ser usadas.
| Nome | Descrição |
|---|---|
| icmp | O protocolo de controle de mensagens internet "The Internet Control Message Protocol" é usado primariamente por gateways e hosts para reportar erros no diagrama de dados de comunicação. O comando "ping" (presente em muitos modernos sistemas operacionais) é um exemplo aplicado de ICMP. |
| udp | O protocolo de diagrama de dados de usuários "User Datagram Protocol" é de conexão baixa, inseguro, protocolo com comprimento fixo. Dois destes aspectos, UDP requer uma quantidade mínima de sobrecarga de protocolo. |
| tcp | O protocolo de controle de transmissão é uma conexão, seguro, fluxo orientado, e protocolo de ida e volta. TCP garante que todos os pacotes de dados irão ser recebidos na ordem que eles são enviados. Se algum pacote está perdido de alguma maneira durante a comunicação, TCP irá automaticamente retransmitir o pacote até que o host de destino reconheça aquele pacote. Por razões de segurança e performance, o TCP implementa nele próprio decisões apropriadas de limite de octetos do diagrama de dados abaixo da camada de comunicação. Portanto, aplicações TCP devem permitir para possibilidades de registro de transmissões. |
socket_create() retorna um socket resource em caso de sucesso, ou FALSE em caso de erro. O código de erro atual pode ser retornado chamando socket_last_error(). Esse código de erro deve ser passado para socket_strerror() para pegar uma explicação textual do erro.
Nota: Se um inválido domain ou type é dado, socket_create() padrão é para AF_INET e SOCK_STREAM respectivamente e adicionamente emitem uma mensagem E_WARNING.
Veja também socket_accept(), socket_bind(), socket_connect(), socket_listen(), socket_last_error(), e socket_strerror().

It took some investigation to understand the bit about raw sockets requiring root access and raw sockets being required to perform a seemingly simple "ping" on a Linux server. My source of confusion was that the regular command line "ping" utility did not require me to be root to exec it, so what was the difference? I found the answer starting with a forum posting to look up `man 7 raw` for raw sockets info which reveals:
"Only processes with an effective user ID of 0 or the CAP_NET_RAW capability are allowed to open raw sockets."
So root is not the only way; the ping utility normally works because it has suid permission. There is some interesting source code however that allows you to selectively assign the CAP_NET_RAW capability without the need for suid. Use at your own risk, this is provided for informational purposes only:

After weeks of trying to find a PHP network client that supports TFTP and Telnet I finally break down and wrote a client library. You can find it here: http://www.verticalevolution.com/blog/index.php?/pages/PHP-Client.html
This isn't like other telnet libraries that just exec the OS's telnet, it makes and negotiates its own options. It creates the TFTP packets to send data back and forth.

On UNIX systems php needs /etc/protocols for constants like SOL_UDP and SOL_TCP.
This file was missing on my embedded platform.

I've written the ping() function using socket_create() with SOCK_RAW.

to ionic and david...
I'm just taking a stab at this, but wouldn't some combination of gethostbynamel and php_uname('n') provide you with the world-facing IP address without making a system call or using expensive socket operations? Don't get me wrong, socket operations have their place, but if you just need the server IP from a cli script, socket operations seem expensive. :)
<?php
print_r(gethostbynamel(php_uname('n')));

When running these types of sockets, typically you need to be root or else they fail (not the case with stream sockets: http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-socket-server.php)
This is an example for Linux/Unix type systems to use sockets without being root. (tested on Debian and CentOS)
<?php
$user = "daemon";
$script_name = "uid"; //the name of this script
/////////////////////////////////////////////
//try creating a socket as a user other than root
echo "\n__________________________________________\n";
echo "Trying to start a socket as user $user\n";
$uid_name = posix_getpwnam($user);
$uid_name = $uid_name['uid'];
if(posix_seteuid($uid_name))
{
echo "SUCCESS: You are now $user!\n";
if($socket = @socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, 1))
{
echo "SUCCESS: You are NOT root and created a socket! This should not happen!\n";
} else {
echo "ERROR: socket_create() failed because you're not root!\n";
}
$show_process = shell_exec("ps aux | grep -v grep | grep $script_name");
echo "Current process stats::-->\t $show_process";
} else {
exit("ERROR: seteuid($uid_name) failed!\n");
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////
//no try creating a socket as root
echo "\n__________________________________________\n";
echo "Trying to start a socket as user 'root'\n";
if(posix_seteuid(0))
{
echo "SUCCESS: You are now root!\n";
$show_process = shell_exec("ps aux | grep -v grep | grep $script_name");
echo "Current process stats::-->\t $show_process";
if($socket = @socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, 1))
{
echo "SUCCESS: You created a socket as root and now should seteuid() to another user\n";
/////////////////////////////////////////
//now modify the socket as another user
echo "\n__________________________________________\n";
echo "Switching to user $user\n";
if(posix_seteuid($uid_name))
{
echo "SUCCESS: You are now $user!\n";
if(socket_bind($socket, 0, 8000))
{
echo "SUCCESS: socket_bind() worked as $user!\n";
} else {
echo "ERROR: Must be root to user socket_bind()\n";
}
$show_process = shell_exec("ps aux | grep -v grep | grep $script_name");
echo "Current process stats::-->\t $show_process";
socket_close($socket); //hard to error check but it does close as this user
echo "SUCCESS: You closed the socket as user $user!\n";
} else {
echo "ERROR: seteuid($uid_name) failed while socket was open!\n";
}
} else {
echo "ERROR: Socket failed for some reason!\n";
}
} else {
exit("ERROR: Changing to root failed!\n");
}

To david _at* eder #do; us:
Dependent on your system, you could, at least on LINUX, use exec with "/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | awk '/inet /{ print substr($2,9) }'" (also working for non-root users), that will work a little bit faster as your PHP function.
Though, we should keep in mind that users with safe_mode enabled are more or less forced to use the socket thing. :)

Please be aware that RAW sockets (as used for the ping example) are restricted to root accounts on *nix systems. Since web servers hardly ever run as root, they won't work on webpages.
On Windows based servers it should work regardless.

Here's a ping function that uses sockets instead of exec(). Note: I was unable to get socket_create() to work without running from CLI as root. I've already calculated the package's checksum to simplify the code (the message is 'ping' but it doesn't actually matter).
<?php
function ping($host) {
$package = "\x08\x00\x19\x2f\x00\x00\x00\x00\x70\x69\x6e\x67";
/* create the socket, the last '1' denotes ICMP */
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, 1);
/* set socket receive timeout to 1 second */
socket_set_option($socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, array("sec" => 1, "usec" => 0));
/* connect to socket */
socket_connect($socket, $host, null);
/* record start time */
list($start_usec, $start_sec) = explode(" ", microtime());
$start_time = ((float) $start_usec + (float) $start_sec);
socket_send($socket, $package, strlen($package), 0);
if(@socket_read($socket, 255)) {
list($end_usec, $end_sec) = explode(" ", microtime());
$end_time = ((float) $end_usec + (float) $end_sec);
$total_time = $end_time - $start_time;
return $total_time;
} else {
return false;
}
socket_close($socket);
}

Took me about 20 minutes to figure out the proper arguments to supply for a AF_UNIX socket. Anything else, and I would get a PHP warning about the 'type' not being supported. I hope this saves someone else time.
<?php
$socket = socket_create(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
// code

Sometimes when you are running CLI, you need to know your own ip address.
<?php
$addr = my_ip();
echo "my ip address is $addr\n";
function my_ip($dest='64.0.0.0', $port=80)
{
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, SOL_UDP);
socket_connect($socket, $dest, $port);
socket_getsockname($socket, $addr, $port);
socket_close($socket);
return $addr;
}

Seems there aren't any examples of UDP clients out there. This is a tftp client. I hope this makes someone's life easier.
<?php
function tftp_fetch($host, $filename)
{
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, SOL_UDP);
// create the request packet
$packet = chr(0) . chr(1) . $filename . chr(0) . 'octet' . chr(0);
// UDP is connectionless, so we just send on it.
socket_sendto($socket, $packet, strlen($packet), 0x100, $host, 69);
$buffer = '';
$port = '';
$ret = '';
do
{
// $buffer and $port both come back with information for the ack
// 516 = 4 bytes for the header + 512 bytes of data
socket_recvfrom($socket, $buffer, 516, 0, $host, $port);
// add the block number from the data packet to the ack packet
$packet = chr(0) . chr(4) . substr($buffer, 2, 2);
// send ack
socket_sendto($socket, $packet, strlen($packet), 0, $host, $port);
// append the data to the return variable
// for large files this function should take a file handle as an arg
$ret .= substr($buffer, 4);
}
while(strlen($buffer) == 516); // the first non-full packet is the last.
return $ret;

Okay I talked with Richard a little (via e-mail). We agree that getprotobyname() and using the constants should be the same in functionality and speed, the use of one or the other is merely coding style. Personally, we both think the constants are prettier :).
The eight different protocols are the ones implemented in PHP- not the total number in existance (RFC 1340 has 98).
All we disagree on is using 0- Richard says that "accordning to the official unix/bsd sockets 0 is more than fine." I think that since 0 is a reserved number according to RFC 1320, and when used usually refers to IP, not one of it's sub-protocols (TCP, UDP, etc.)

Actually, you don't need to use
getprotobyname("tcp") but instead can use
the constants: SOL_TCP and SOL_UDP.
Here an extract of the source from
ext/sockets which should make this clear.
if ((pe = getprotobyname("tcp"))) {
REGISTER_LONG_CONSTANT("SOL_TCP", pe->p_proto,
CONST_CS | CONST_PERSISTENT);
}
Normally the third parameter can be set to 0. In the
original BSD Socket implementation the third parameter
(there are 8 different types, here only two) should be
IPPROTO_TCP or IPPROTO_UPD (or one of the 6 others ones).
These two parameters are though not warpped in PHP as
constants and therefore not available.
Please use SOL_TCP and SOL_UDP. e.g.:
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
Please be aware of the fact that UDP
and TCP can only be used with AF_INET which is: "Adress Family Internet". With UNIX Domain sockets TCP/UDP would make no sense!
best regards
