Send binary data to socket
Hi,
Quick & simple question: I have to send the next data to a socket in order to make a popup visible on a windows machine.. TITLE Title of popup [enter] TEXT Text in popup [enter] POPUP [enter] <? $s=socket_raw_connect($host,$port,15,'TITLE Test \nTEXT Text in popup\nPOPUP\n'); function socket_raw_connect ($server, $port, $timeout,$request) { if (!is_numeric($port) or !is_numeric($timeout)) {return false;} $socket = fsockopen($server, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout); if(!$socket) { echo "Opening socket error"; exit(); } sleep(10); #Wait for program... bug :-) $put=fputs($socket, $request); sleep(10); fclose($socket); } ?> Now, I have tried the whole scala of \r \n \r\n \0x0a etc.. for \n but it doesn't seem to work.. Anyone a bright idea??? Thanx in advance, Marco

Re: Send binary data to socket
Hi Marco,
I fail to see what a popup has to do with a socket. Really. Are you talking about browser-popup? That aside: What do you mean by "doesn't seem to work?" Is the socket not accepting connections? You didn't create a socket on a port under 1024 on *nix without being root?? Do you get an error? Does the whole thingy time-out? Please provide us/me with a little more information. Regards, Erwin Moller

Re: Send binary data to socket
Ok.. Seems the information was too little :-)
here we go with a little more info: A friend of mine as programmed a simple popup kind of thing. I made a scheduler in PHP, but to assure we don't forget any todo-items I thought it would be a nice feature to let this scheduler (running on LINUX server with apache/PHP) send messages to (in this case) my windows machine. (e.g: call php page with aid of crontab) Now, this friend has a reputation with Delphi (pascal) and programmed a nice little popup application. To use it I have to connect to (if local) 127.0.0.1 port 12345 (with SSH / putty raw connection) and after entering the Tilte of the popup, text and the final POPUP command, I see a nice popup with the text I entered... .... So the commands entered in the PUTTY window are quite simple: TITLE Title of popup window TEXT text in popup window POPUP Now what I have to do (in php duh..) is sending these commands to the client.............. So my thought would be creating a socket to the (windows) machine with the popup-thing running and send the commands.. But it just doesn't seem to work.. If anyone of you can help me out..

A firewall blocking the connection? What port are you using? BTW: I hope you're not writing an adware.

Re: Send binary data to socket => solve
Seemed the app. expected a timout between the commands..
No, it is _not_ an ad aware whatsoever :-) "Chung Leong" <chernyshevsky@hotmail.com> schreef in bericht news:nb-dnciOxoA6cSXcRVn-pA@comcast.com... > "Quarco" <dontbother@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:41b86bfc$0$566$e4fe514c@news.xs4all.nl... >> Hi, >> >> Quick & simple question: >> I have to send the next data to a socket in order to make a popup visible > on >> a windows machine.. >> >> TITLE Title of popup [enter] >> TEXT Text in popup [enter] >> POPUP [enter] >> >> >> <? >> $s=socket_raw_connect($host,$port,15,'TITLE Test \nTEXT Text in >> popup\nPOPUP\n'); >> >> function socket_raw_connect ($server, $port, $timeout,$request) { >> if (!is_numeric($port) or !is_numeric($timeout)) {return false;} >> $socket = fsockopen($server, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout); >> if(!$socket) { echo "Opening socket error"; exit(); } >> >> sleep(10); #Wait for program... bug :-) >> $put=fputs($socket, $request); >> sleep(10); >> fclose($socket); >> } >> ?> >> >> Now, I have tried the whole scala of \r \n \r\n \0x0a etc.. for \n but it >> doesn't seem to work.. >> >> Anyone a bright idea??? > > A firewall blocking the connection?

That way your program would still work when there's a firewall between the two.
