[Fwd: Net Services]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Net Services Date: Fri, 15 Oct 1999 16:14:16 -0700 From: Evan Klinger <evan715@sirius.com> To: php-dev@lists.php.net CC: php4beta@lists.php.net References: <19991015225454.27197.qmail@php.net> I've uploaded a net services package to http://www.sirius.com/~evan715/netservices.tar.gz (20K) which implement the getservby{name,port} functions. These are identical to the ones in C -- they open /etc/services for reading and fetch the service name given as port or fetch the port given the service name. Installation/Requirements You must be using PHP4. Latest CVS is recommended. Unpack the archive and gunzip it into the php4/ext/standard directory. Rerun buildconf; configure; make. cd php4/ext/standard tar zxf netservices.tar.gz cd ../.. ./buildconf ./configure your-options make Usage string getservbyport(int port, string protocol); Where port is the port for which are you trying to obtain the service name and protocol is either "udp" or "tcp". Returns service name or false if there is no name or an error occured. int getservbyname(string name, string protocol); Where name is the service name for which you are trying to obtain the port and protocol is either "udp" or "tcp". Returns port or false if there is no port or an error occured. Help This is my first attempt at contributing to PHP development so if something doesn't work quite right, please remain calm. I will do my best to help get it working on everyone's system as long as PHP itself works. Patches and requests are welcomed. Contact email: evan715@sirius.com AIM: evan715
