Re: [PHP] Command line socket server and SSL
Below you have described a client. I'm talking about a
server. That was clear in my original post.

I am familiar with the above links. What I cannot locate is anything that
indicates that a cmd line socket program in PHP can do SSL. Can you locate
such? Is it in the openssl document somewhere and I missed it?
Whether the script is command line or not has nothing to do with it's ability
to connect to a host on a specific port. You just connect to the port the
secure socket is located on, usually 443.
#!/usr/bin/env php
?php
$s = socket_create( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP );
socket_set_nonblock( $s );
socket_connect( $s, example.com, 443 );
socket_set_block( $s );
switch( socket_select( $r = array( $s ), $w = array( $s ), $f = array( $s ), 5
) )
{
case 2:
echo [-] Connection Refused\n;
break;
case 1:
echo [+] Connected\n;
break;
case 0:
echo [-] Timeout\n;
break;
}

But if it has to be PHP, see if you can find some PHPopenssl bindings. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Disclaimer - I'm still something of a PHP newbie, so please do not take this as definitive or authoritative advice, but hopefully you'll still find it helpful. My guess is that you won't find a way to create an SSL server socket in PHP, as most PHP use is web-facing - all the SSL details on that end would be handled by the web server (Apache, IIS, etc.) before the PHP interpreter fires up. My best suggestion for you would be to use stunnel (http://stunnel.org/) or something similar to handle the SSL details of the server connection and pass the actual data on to your server's socket - it's pretty straightforward to use. Hope this helps. Kirk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Command line socket server and SSL
I need to program a socket server in PHP that can use a certificate and communicate over SSL. I'm doing fine without SSL. Can't use port 443 or the web server for this, so it needs to be a command line app. Can't seem to find any documentation about how to set that up. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?
