#26885 [Fbk->Opn]: When using CLI interface fsockopen fails after several sucessfull attempts

ID: 26885 User updated by: gholyoak at courtdean dot com Reported By: gholyoak at courtdean dot com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Sockets related Operating System: w2k PHP Version: 4.3.4 New Comment: As suggested I have loaded the latest release and still no joy although the batch job get any results at all now. I cant understand why the url is bad as its OK for me and I cut/paste the code to you. FYI batch job is set to run as same username/password as interactive user.

Provide a working URL. Also, try the snapshot first. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-12 12:13:29] gholyoak at courtdean dot com I've created a vastly cut-down version of the script :- <?php $headers = "GET /stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml HTTP/1.0\r\nUser-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)\r\nHost: www.ecb.int\r\nAccept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, */*\r\n\r\n"; $URI_PARTS = parse_url('http://www.ecb.int/'); $fp = @fsockopen($URI_PARTS['host'],80,$errno,$errstr,10); if (!$fp){echo 'Cannot open socket';return;} fwrite($fp,$headers,strlen($headers)); $results = ''; do { $_data = fread($fp, 500000); if (strlen($_data) == 0) { break; } $results .= $_data; } while(true); fclose($fp); Mail('gholyoak@courtdean.com','Data Retrieval results',$results); echo strlen($results); return; ?> Dont forget to change the email address !! To replicate the problem: 1. create a w2k .cmd file to call this script 2. Run the .cmd file as many time as you wish and you should get back an XML doc. 3. create a scheduled task using the .cmd file and run it several times. You should notice that it works to start with and then fails but you can still run the .cmd file interactively ? Curious ?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-12 10:02:03] sniper@php.net Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If possible, make the script source available online and provide an URL to it here. Try avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-12 09:10:31] gholyoak at courtdean dot com Description: ------------ I have a .cmd file scheduled to run every 30 mins in format: c:\php\cli\php.exe batch_file.php that downloads information from another site using fsockopen(). The scripts runs sucessfully for approximately 4 times then although fsockopen is sucessful, no data is returned. But I can run the scripts interactively through the web-site interface as many times as I wish. The script will not work again until I re-boot ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26885&edit=1
