Websocket client for PHP

Use PHP to connect to at websocket service. These 3 methods make the websocket negotiation and connection and handle the hybi10 frame encoding required.

Note : unlike the library ratchetphp/Pawl, this a synchronous library that could be used within blocking kernels like Symfony for example.

Example 1:

try {
   $sp = new \Paragi\PhpWebsocket\Client('echo.websocket.org',80) );
   $sp->write("hello server");
   echo "Server responded with: " . $sp->read();
} catch (\Paragi\PhpWebsocket\ConnectionException $e) {
   echo "Something gets wrong ".$e->getMessage();
}

Example 2, using a session cookie and setting timeout:

try {
    $headers = ["Cookie: SID=".session_id()];
    $sp = new \Paragi\PhpWebsocket\Client('echo.websocket.org',80,$headers,$errstr,16);
    $bytes_written = $sp->write("hello server");
    $data = $sp->read();
    echo "Server responded with: ". $data;
} catch (\Paragi\PhpWebsocket\ConnectionException $e) {
   echo "Something gets wrong ".$e->getMessage();
}

Example 3, using SSL

try {
    $sp = new \Paragi\PhpWebsocket\Client('echo.websocket.org',443,'',$errstr, 10,true) ) {
    $sp->write("hello server");
    echo "Server responded with: " . $sp->read();
} catch (\Paragi\PhpWebsocket\ConnectionException $e) {
   echo "Something gets wrong ".$e->getMessage();
}

Client class

Constructor

Open websocket connection

__construct(string $host [, int $port [, array $additional_headers [, string &error_string [, int $timeout [, resource $context]]]]] )

host A host URL. It can be a domain name like www.example.com or an IP address like local host: 127.0.0.1

port The servers port number

headers (optional) additional HTTP headers to attach to the request. For example to parse a session cookie.

error_string (optional) A referenced variable to store error messages, if any.

timeout (optional) The maximum time in seconds, a read operation will wait for an answer from the server. Default value is 10 seconds.

context (optional) A stream context resource created with stream_context_create() used to set various socket stream options.

write

Send data to server through the websocket, using hybi10 frame encoding.

int write(string $data [,boolean $final])

data Data to transport to server

final (optional) indicate if this block is the final data block of this request. Default true

read

Read data through websocket from the server, using hybi10 frame encoding.

string read([string &error_string])

error_string (optional) A referenced variable to store error messages, i any.

Note:

  • This implementation waits for the final chunk of data, before returning.
  • Reading data while handling/ignoring other kind of packages

Exception

If anything goes wrong (connection, write, read...), a ConnectionException is thrown back. Please catch them all to return a comprehensive message (here's is a sample in a Symfony context) :

try {
    $sp = new \Paragi\PhpWebsocket\Client($this->localIp, $this->wsPort, ['X-Pusher: Symfony']);
    $sp->write($data);
    $reading = $sp->read();
    $ret = "Server responded with: $reading";

    return new JsonResponse(['level' => 'success', 'message' => $ret], Response::HTTP_OK);
} catch (ConnectionException $ex) {
    return new JsonResponse(['level' => 'error', 'message' => $ex->getMessage()], Response::HTTP_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE);
}

Tests

Tests are running against a local echo server implemented with Ratchet. You'll have to manually start the server in ANOTHER process.

$ php tests/bin/echoserver.php

And now you can launch PhpUnit

$ vendor/bin/phpunit 

Code coverage

With PhpDbg, just launch :

$ phpdbg -qrr vendor/bin/phpunit
$ firefox .coverage/index.html

Contribute
