just a quick note for users attempting https and thinking they must resort to curl or alternate methods -
you can use fsockopen, just read the docs closely. basically they are saying to use 'ssl://' for a HTTPS (SSL) web request.
so this would work for authorize.net, and others; even for that paypal IPN - however I think it would be best to leave the site and deal with paypal's form:
<?php
$host = "something.example.com";
$port = 443;
$path = "/the/url/path/file.php"; //or .dll, etc. for authnet, etc.
//you will need to setup an array of fields to post with
//then create the post string
$formdata = array ( "x_field" => "somevalue");
//build the post string
foreach($formdata AS $key => $val){
$poststring .= urlencode($key) . "=" . urlencode($val) . "&";
}
// strip off trailing ampersand
$poststring = substr($poststring, 0, -1);
$fp = fsockopen("ssl://".$host, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout = 30);
if(!$fp){
//error tell us
echo "$errstr ($errno)\n";
}else{
//send the server request
fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.1\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Host: $host\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($poststring)."\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
fputs($fp, $poststring . "\r\n\r\n");
//loop through the response from the server
while(!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets($fp, 4096);
}
//close fp - we are done with it
fclose($fp);

fsockopen
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
fsockopen — Ouvre un socket de connexion Internet ou Unix
Description
fsockopen(
string
int
int
string
?float
): resource|false
string
$hostname,int
$port = -1,int
&$error_code = null,string
&$error_message = null,?float
$timeout = null): resource|false
Initialise une connexion par socket à la ressource spécifiée par
hostname.
PHP supporte les cibles dans les domaines Internet et Unix comme décrit dans Liste des modes de transport de sockets disponibles. Une liste des types de transports peut également être trouvée en utilisant la fonction stream_get_transports().
Le socket sera ouvert par défaut en mode bloquant. Vous pouvez changer de mode en utilisant : stream_set_blocking().
La fonction stream_socket_client() est similaire mais fournit plus d'options, incluant la connexion non-bloquante et la possibilité de fournir un contexte de flux.
Liste de paramètres
-
hostname -
Si le support OpenSSL est installé, vous pouvez préfixer
hostnameavecssl://outls://pour utiliser une connexion cliente SSL ou TLS sur TCP/IP pour vous connectez à l'hôte distant. -
port -
Le numéro du port. Ce paramètre peut être omis et ignoré en utilisant la valeur
-1pour les transports qui n'utilisent pas les ports, commeunix://. -
error_code -
Si fourni, contient le numéro de l'erreur système qui survient lors de l'appel système à
connect().Si la valeur retournée par
error_codeest0et que la fonction retournefalse, ce peut être une indication laissant penser que l'erreur est survenue avant l'appel àconnect(). La plupart du temps, cela est du à un problème d'initialisation du socket. -
error_message -
Le message d'erreur, sous la forme d'une chaîne de caractères.
-
timeout -
Le délai d'attente maximal, en secondes. Si
nullle paramètre php.ini default_socket_timeout est utilisé.Note:
Si vous avez besoin de définir un délai limite pour lire/écrire des données à travers ce socket, utilisez la fonction stream_set_timeout(), car le paramètre
timeoutde la fonction fsockopen() est uniquement appliqué lors de la connexion du socket.
Valeurs de retour
fsockopen() retourne un pointeur de fichier qui peut
être utilisé avec d'autres fonctions fichiers, telles
fgets(), fgetss(),
fputs(), fclose() et
feof(). Si l'appel échoue, la fonction retourne
false.
Erreurs / Exceptions
Lance une alerte de type E_WARNING si le paramètre
hostname n'est pas un domaine valide.
Historique

Exemples
Exemple #1 Exemple avec fsockopen()
<?php
$fp = fsockopen("www.example.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
$out = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$out .= "Host: www.example.com\r\n";
$out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
fwrite($fp, $out);
while (!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
}
?>
Exemple #2 Utilisation d'une connexion UDP
L'exemple ci-dessous décrit comment lire la date et l'heure grâce à un service UDP "daytime" (port 13), sur votre propre machine.
<?php
$fp = fsockopen("udp://127.0.0.1", 13, $errno, $errstr);
if (!$fp) {
echo "ERREUR : $errno - $errstr<br />\n";
} else {
fwrite($fp, "\n");
echo fread($fp, 26);
fclose($fp);
}
?>Notes
Note:
Suivant les environnements, le type 'domaine Unix' ou l'option
timeoutne sont pas toujours disponibles.
Avertissement
Les sockets UDP semblent quelques fois avoir été ouverts sans erreur,
même si l'hôte distant n'est pas accessible. L'erreur apparaît alors
uniquement lorsque vous tentez de lire/écrire sur le socket.
La raison de cela est que UDP est un protocole "connectionless",
ce qui signifie que le système ne tentera pas d'établir un lien pour le socket
tant qu'il ne doit pas recevoir/envoyer de données.
Note: Lors de la spécification d'adresses IPv6 au format numérique (e.g.
fe80::1) vous devez placer l'adresse IP entre crochets. Par exemple :tcp://[fe80::1]:80.

This script checks specific ports so you need to have the correct port open on the server for this to work.
E.g if i have a windows domain controller and it is servering LDAP then the following would be used to check it is online:
<?php
chkServer("MyDC", "389");
?>
for a webserver:
<?php
chkServer("MyWebSvr", "80");
?>
etc etc
--------------------------------------------------------
<?php
// check if a server is up by connecting to a port
function chkServer($host, $port)
{
$hostip = @gethostbyname($host); // resloves IP from Hostname returns hostname on failure
if ($hostip == $host) // if the IP is not resloved
{
echo "Server is down or does not exist";
}
else
{
if (!$x = @fsockopen($hostip, $port, $errno, $errstr, 5)) // attempt to connect
{
echo "Server is down";
}
else
{
echo "Server is up";
if ($x)
{
@fclose($x); //close connection
}
}
}
}

If you are using fsockopen to access webpage, but come across a redirect (Location: ) in the header and want to find and follow the redirect as in this snippet:
<?php
while (!feof($fp)) {
$line=fgets($fp, 1024);
if (stristr($line,"location:")!="") {
$redirect=preg_replace("/location:/i","",$line);
}
}
?>
Then don't forget to <?php $redirect = trim($redirect); ?> before trying to follow this new link as $redirect actually has a \r\n on the end of it and won't give you a valid path in the next iteration otherwise. A six hour bug.

The following snippet allows you to retrieve the title of a page.
Great for rewriting auto-url detectors to display the actual title rather then http://...
<?php
echo get_url_title("http://www.php.net/cal.php?id=409");
function get_url_title($url, $timeout = 2)
{
$url = parse_url($url);
if(!in_array($url['scheme'],array('','http')))
return;
$fp = fsockopen ($url['host'], ($url['port'] > 0 ? $url['port'] : 80), $errno, $errstr, $timeout);
if (!$fp)
{
return;
// echo "$errstr ($errno)<br>\n";
}
else
{
fputs ($fp, "GET /".$url['path'].($url['query'] ? '?'.$url['query'] : '')." HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: ".$url['host']."\r\n\r\n");
$d = '';
while (!feof($fp))
{
$d .= fgets ($fp,2048);
if(preg_match('~(</head>|<body>|(<title>\s*(.*?)\s*</title>))~i', $d, $m))

I was tearing my hair out for a week trying to figure out how to do this.
If you use fsockopen with a service that doesn't have an EOF, or you try to read beyond EOF or line break, PHP can hang completely.
In my case, I was trying to write a class that talks to Kali servers (www.kali.net) to get a list of people on the chat server. To keep PHP from hanging due to the above, I discovered this:
<?php
class kali_utils {
function games_list($kali_server_ip, $kali_server_port) {
$result = array();
$fp = fsockopen($kali_server_ip, $kali_server_port, $errno, $error, 30);
if (!$fp) {
$result["errno"] = $errno;
$result["error"] = $error;
}
else {
fputs($fp, "KALIQ");
$header = fread($fp, 5);
$bytes_left = socket_get_status($fp);
if ($bytes_left > 0) {
$result["results"] = fread($fp, $bytes_left["unread_bytes"]);
}
else {
$result["results"] = "";
}
fclose($fp);
}
return $result;
}
}
?>
When I send the request packet, I get a response packet of length 5. Then I call socket_get_status() and use the unread_bytes key from it to know how far to fread from the socket. Works very good.
I've only used this on PHP 4.2.1 so far.

I have found, when using fsockopen() and the POST method, that using HTTP/1.1 is VERY significantly slower than HTTP/1.0 (at least for the server I'm querying, an Orion-based server). Also, using cURL tended to be faster than fsockopen(), though only slightly. For example, here was a recent set of data (for the same exact request in each case):
cURL: 4.2sec
fsockopen() HTTP/1.0: 4.9sec
fsockopen() HTTP/1.1: 19.9sec (!)
I'm not sure why this was occurring. Perhaps it has something to do with the Orion server, which I have little experience with. However, it was not a fluke, and I double-checked the code to make sure there were no errors.
EDITORS NOTE: HTTP/1.1 uses persistent connection causing this delay. Use "Connection: close" header to disable it.

A simple proxy list checker. You can check a list ip:port if that port is opened on that IP.
<?php
$fisier = file_get_contents('proxy_list.txt'); // Read the file with the proxy list
$linii = explode("\n", $fisier); // Get each proxy
$fisier = fopen("bune.txt", "a"); // Here we will write the good ones
for($i = 0; $i < count($linii) - 1; $i++) test($linii[$i]); // Test each proxy
function test($proxy)

if($con = @fsockopen($splited[0], $splited[1], $eroare, $eroare_str, 3))
{
fwrite($fisier, $proxy . "\n"); // Check if we can connect to that IP and port
print $proxy . '<br>'; // Show the proxy
fclose($con); // Close the socket handle

I was having trouble doing an https in fopen and with fsockopen where the address had ssl://. I was getting error code 114 in the log. After much research i found that there was some ssl conflict trouble with MySQL 5.0.20-5.0.33. It had some functions that were interfering with openssl that showed up in the php install.

Lots of tries and lots of reading http-headers...
If you want to post $_POST vars and (in this case) one file named userfile to $remote_server and $remote_url.
<?php
// get the necessary data
$file_name = $_FILES['userfile']['name']; // the file
$tmp_name = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']; // the file
$content_type = $_FILES['userfile']['type']; // the file mime type
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$boundary = "---------------------".substr(md5(rand(0,32000)),0,10);
// Build the header
$header = "POST $remote_url HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Host: $remote_server\r\n";
$header .= "Content-type: multipart/form-data, boundary=$boundary\r\n";
// attach post vars
foreach($_POST AS $index => $value){
$data .="--$boundary\r\n";
$data .= "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"".$index."\"\r\n";
$data .= "\r\n".$value."\r\n";
$data .="--$boundary\r\n";
}
// and attach the file
$data .= "--$boundary\r\n";
$content_file = join("", file($tmp_name));
$data .="Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"userfile\"; filename=\"$file_name\"\r\n";
$data .= "Content-Type: $content_type\r\n\r\n";
$data .= "".$content_file."\r\n";
$data .="--$boundary--\r\n";
$header .= "Content-length: " . strlen($data) . "\r\n\r\n";
// Open the connection
$fp = fsockopen($remote_server, 80);
// then just
fputs($fp, $header.$data);
fclose($fp);

Here's a quick function to establish a connection to a web server that will time out if the connection is lost after a user definable amount of time or if the server can't be reached.
Also supports Basic authentication if a username/password is specified. Any improvements or criticisms, please email me! :-)
Returns either a resource ID, an error code or 0 if the server can't be reached at all. Returns -1 in the event that something really wierd happens like a non-standard http response or something. Hope it helps someone.
Cheers,
Ben Blazely

Here is some code to help out abit more with the EOF problem.
I had a problem where I needed to strip out so many lines of server input to get back right data i wanted.
<?php
$port=4000;
$host="localhost";
$message="test";
$status=senddata($host,$port,$message);
print "$status";
function senddata($host,$port,$message) {
#takes in account servers that do not return EOF character
#send data to server and get back input
#function globals
$linenumber="2"; #amount of lines to get rid of before we give input
$lineamount="1"; #amount of lines to read after we give input
$fp = fsockopen("$host", $port, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
echo "$errstr ($errno)";
}
else {
for ($i = 1; $i < $linenumber+1; $i++) {
fread ($fp,1);
$bytes_left = socket_get_status($fp);
if ($bytes_left > 0) { fread($fp, $bytes_left[unread_bytes]); }
}
fputs($fp, "$message\r\n");
for ($i = 1; $i < $lineamount+1; $i++) {
$status.=fread($fp,1);
$bytes_left = socket_get_status($fp);
if ($bytes_left > 0) { $status.=fread($fp, $bytes_left[unread_bytes]); }
}
fclose ($fp);
}
return $status;

When downloading large files, it is not really efficient to put the whole server answer in memory before parsing the data to remove the header parts. Here is a simple way to do it while writing the data as it arrive:
<?php
// $socket is a valid fsockopen handle
$out = '';
$headerendfound = false;
$fp = fopen($fileTarget, 'w');
$buffer = '';
while (!feof($socket)) {
$out = fgets ($socket,16384);
if ($headerendfound) {
fwrite($fp, $out);
print '.';
}
if (!$headerendfound) {
$buffer .= $out;
print "searching for header\n";
$headerend = strpos($buffer, "\r\n\r\n");
if ($headerend !== false) {
$headerendfound = true;
fwrite($fp, substr($buffer, $headerend+4));
$buffer = '';
}
}
}
fclose($fp);
fclose($socket);

The documentation example is of a GET request. I have found POST documentation to be lacking, and here's a function to easily simulate submitting form data:
<?php
# $host includes host and path and filename
# ex: "myserver.com/this/is/path/to/file.php"
# $query is the POST query data
# ex: "a=thisstring&number=46&string=thatstring
# $others is any extra headers you want to send
# ex: "Accept-Encoding: compress, gzip\r\n"
function post($host,$query,$others=''){
$path=explode('/',$host);
$host=$path[0];
unset($path[0]);
$path='/'.(implode('/',$path));
$post="POST $path HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: $host\r\nContent-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n${others}User-Agent: Mozilla 4.0\r\nContent-length: ".strlen($query)."\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n$query";
$h=fsockopen($host,80);
fwrite($h,$post);
for($a=0,$r='';!$a;){
$b=fread($h,8192);
$r.=$b;
$a=(($b=='')?1:0);

Improved HTTP/1.1 chunked transfer-encoding example.
The sample code given below by Jack does not function correctly when run against a recent version of Apache (I'm assuming that this did once work, but from the HTTP/1.1 spec I can only assume if it did work it was based mostly on luck).
<?php
$header = "";
$response = "";
// connect
if (!($request=fsockopen('example.com',80,$errno,$errstr))) exit($errstr);
else {
socket_set_timeout($request,10);
// send request
fwrite($request,$post);
// get header
do $header.=fread($request,1); while (!preg_match('/\\r\\n\\r\\n$/',$header));
// check for chunked encoding
if (preg_match('/Transfer\\-Encoding:\\s+chunked\\r\\n/',$header))
do {
$byte = "";
$chunk_size="";
do {
$chunk_size.=$byte;
$byte=fread($request,1);
} while ($byte!="\\r"); // till we match the CR
fread($request, 1); // also drop off the LF
$chunk_size=hexdec($chunk_size); // convert to real number
$response.=fread($request,$chunk_size);
fread($request,2); // ditch the CRLF that trails the chunk
} while ($chunk_size); // till we reach the 0 length chunk (end marker)
else {
// check for specified content length
if (preg_match('/Content\\-Length:\\s+([0-9]*)\\r\\n/',$header,$matches)) {
$response=fread($request,$matches[1]);
} else {
// not a nice way to do it (may also result in extra CRLF which trails the real content???)
while (!feof($request)) $response .= fread($request, 4096);
}
}
// close connection
fclose($request);
}
// do something useful with the response
print($header);
print($response);

Here's how to send an email using SMTP. This includes rudimentary checking on server responses during the process of sending an email. Could be improved by more comprehensive processing of the result codes...or going on to the next mail exchanger when you fail after connecting to the first.
<?php
function another_mail($to,$subject,$headers,$message)
{
// Could get this from the php ini?
$from="me@example.com";
list($me,$mydomain) = split("@",$from);
// Now look up the mail exchangers for the recipient
list($user,$domain) = split("@",$to,2);
if(getmxrr($domain,$mx,$weight) == 0) return FALSE;
// Try them in order of lowest weight first
array_multisort($mx,$weight);
$success=0;
foreach($mx as $host) {
// Open an SMTP connection
$connection = fsockopen ($host, 25, $errno, $errstr, 1);
if (!$connection)
continue;
$res=fgets($connection,256);
if(substr($res,0,3) != "220") break;
// Introduce ourselves
fputs($connection, "HELO $mydomain\n");
$res=fgets($connection,256);
if(substr($res,0,3) != "250") break;
// Envelope from
fputs($connection, "MAIL FROM: $from\n");
$res=fgets($connection,256);
if(substr($res,0,3) != "250") break;
// Envelope to
fputs($connection, "RCPT TO: $to\n");
$res=fgets($connection,256);
if(substr($res,0,3) != "250") break;
// The message
fputs($connection, "DATA\n");
$res=fgets($connection,256);
if(substr($res,0,3) != "354") break;
// Send To:, From:, Subject:, other headers, blank line, message, and finish
// with a period on its own line.
fputs($connection, "To: $to\nFrom: $from\nSubject: $subject\n$headers\n\n$message\n.\n");
$res=fgets($connection,256);
if(substr($res,0,3) != "250") break;
// Say bye bye
fputs($connection,"QUIT\n");
$res=fgets($connection,256);
if(substr($res,0,3) != "221") break;
// It worked! So break out of the loop which tries all the mail exchangers.
$success=1;
break;
}
// Debug for if we fall over - uncomment as desired
// print $success?"Mail sent":"Failure: $res\n";
if($connection) {
if($success==0) fputs($connection, "QUIT\n");
fclose ($connection);
}
return $success?TRUE:FALSE;
}

$usenet = fsockopen($cfgServer, $cfgPort, $errno, $errstr, $cfgTimeOut);

{
echo "Connected\n<BR>";
fputs ($usenet, "toto\r\n");

fputs ($usenet, "exit\r\n");
while (!feof($usenet))

It appears that in PHP 5.6.0 (at least the version in Debian jessie, with openssl 1.0.1h-3), this function *is* now validating SSL certificates (in a variety of ways). First, it appears to fail for untrusted certificates (i.e. no matching CA trusted locally), and secondly, it appears to fail for mismatched hostnames in the request and certificate.

Opening non-existing socket file via `unix//` protocol will result in exception also when suppressing error with @ like:
<?php
$fh = @fsockopen('unix:///var/run/file-not-exists.sock');
?>
It is important to know when migrating from PHP 7.4 to 8.x, as handling error suppression with @ has changed.

PHP (or OpenSSL) may not always choose to use e.g. TLS 1.2, but you can force it to with tlsv1.2://
https://docs.php.net/manual/en/migration56.openssl.php#migration56.openssl.crypto-method
This was a great help to me, given Twitter's recent API changes to require TLS 1.2+.

Trying to fsockopen an ssl:// connection, but it was hanging for a long time, ignoring timeout parameter, and eventually returning false, without an error message.
Turns out (at least) on Windows it validates certificates and doesn't have a valid certificate store.
This worked for me:
- download Mozilla's certificate store from https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
- copy it inside php installation (for example: c:\php)
- and set it up in php.ini
openssl.cafile="c:\php\cacert.pem"

on my FreeBSD vm, with Joomla, I was getting the error
fsockopen(): unable to connect to ssl://localhost:443 (Unknown error)
when using a contact form and also the module updating process.
After reading other notes on here, regarding certificate validation, I installed the port ca_root_nss
(Root certificates from certificate authorities included in the Mozilla
NSS library and thus in Firefox and Thunderbird.)
Now it works

}
private function logger($line, $file) {

if (!$this->get_result()) {
$this->logger("FAILED: get_url(" . $url . ")", "RemoteFopenViaProxyClass.log");
}
}
}
?>
Use it this way:
<?php
// call constructor
$obj = new RemoteFopenViaProxy($insert_request_url, $insert_proxy_name, $insert_proxy_port);
// change settings after object generation
$obj->set_proxy_name($insert_proxy_name);
$obj->set_proxy_port($insert_proxy_port);
$obj->set_request_url($insert_request_url);
$obj->request_via_proxy();
echo $obj->get_result();
?>
If there are errors during execution, the script tries to write some useful information into a log file.

For some reason the default FreeBSD 7.0 port (jailed environment) breaks fsockopen() on SSL URLs, returning a constant stream of nothing! In my case this resulted in php-cgi bringing down lighttpd completely, in rapid time! Avoid FreeBSD/jails/fsockopen + SSL. Use curl_init() instead.

Here is a function for testing a website/URI for availability:
<?php

function url_validate( $link )
{

if ( empty( $url_parts["host"] ) ) return( false );
if ( !empty( $url_parts["path"] ) )

$documentpath = $url_parts["path"];

else
{
$documentpath = "/";
}
if ( !empty( $url_parts["query"] ) )

Try this.
Use AUTH when necessary.
Read RFC 821 when having problems.
<?php
$handle = smtp_connect($smtp_server, 25, 30, 1, 1, 1);

Here is how to connect to the web from behind a proxy server:
<?php
/*************start code**************/
/*your proxy server address*/
$proxy = "192.168.10.1";
/*your proxy server port*/
$port = 8080;
/*the url you want to connect to*/
$url = "http://www.php.net/";
$fp = fsockopen($proxy, $port);
fputs($fp, "GET $url HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: $proxy\r\n\r\n");
while(!feof($fp)){
$line = fgets($fp, 4000);
print($line);
}
fclose($fp);
/**************end code**************/
?>

Did you know that fsockopen() DOES NOT validate SSL certificates whatsoever? For the sake of World's overall security level, I guess it would be a very positive idea to add a BIG WARNING notice on the manual page!
Citing the extensive study titled "The Most Dangerous Code in the World: Validating SSL Certificates in Non-Browser Software" published in 2012 (google it if they removed the link) on page 5:
"PHP provides several methods for establishing SSL connections. For example, fsockopen, which opens a raw socket to the remote server, can be used to connect to SSL servers by putting “ssl://” in the URL. Even though fsockopen does not perform any certificate checks whatsoever, PHP application developers routinely use it for SSL connection establishment (see Section 9)."
For proper certificate validation with some level of ease, you can always move to cURL, but be careful:
"PHP also provides a cURL binding, which uses cURL’s default settings to establish SSL connections with proper certificate validation. As we show in Sections 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3, application developers often set cURL options incorrectly, overriding the defaults and breaking certificate validation."
For more detailed insights, try out the following code:
<?php readfile("http".str_replace('+', '.', implode('/', array(":", null, "www+cs+utexas+edu", "~shmat", "shmat_ccs12.pdf")))); ?>
