EventBufferEvent::connectHost
(PECL event >= 1.2.6-beta)
EventBufferEvent::connectHost — Connects to a hostname with optionally asyncronous DNS resolving
Description
$dns_base
,
string
$hostname
,
int
$port
[,
int
$family
= EventUtil::AF_UNSPEC
] ) : bool
Resolves the DNS name hostname, looking for addresses of type
family
(
EventUtil::AF_*
constants). If the name resolution fails, it invokes the event callback
with an error event. If it succeeds, it launches a connection attempt just
as
EventBufferEvent::connect()
would.
dns_base
is optional. May be NULL
, or an object created with
EventDnsBase::__construct()
. For asyncronous hostname resolving pass a valid event dns base resource.
Otherwise the hostname resolving will block.
Note:
EventDnsBase is available only if Event configured --with-event-extra ( event_extra library, libevent protocol-specific functionality support including HTTP, DNS, and RPC ).
Note:
EventBufferEvent::connectHost() requires libevent-2.0.3-alpha or greater.
Parameters
-
dns_base
-
Object of EventDnsBase in case if DNS is to be resolved asyncronously. Otherwise
NULL
. -
hostname
-
Hostname to connect to. Recognized formats are:
www.example.com (hostname) 1.2.3.4 (ipv4address) ::1 (ipv6address) [::1] ([ipv6address])
-
port
-
Port number
-
family
-
Address family.
EventUtil::AF_UNSPEC
,EventUtil::AF_INET
, orEventUtil::AF_INET6
. See EventUtil constants .
Examples
Example #1 EventBufferEvent::connectHost() example
<?php
/* Read callback */
function readcb($bev, $base) {
//$input = $bev->input; //$bev->getInput();
//$pos = $input->search("TTP");
$pos = $bev->input->search("TTP");
while (($n = $bev->input->remove($buf, 1024)) > 0) {
echo $buf;
}
}
/* Event callback */
function eventcb($bev, $events, $base) {
if ($events & EventBufferEvent::CONNECTED) {
echo "Connected.\n";
} elseif ($events & (EventBufferEvent::ERROR | EventBufferEvent::EOF)) {
if ($events & EventBufferEvent::ERROR) {
echo "DNS error: ", $bev->getDnsErrorString(), PHP_EOL;
}
echo "Closing\n";
$base->exit();
exit("Done\n");
}
}
$base = new EventBase();
$dns_base = new EventDnsBase($base, TRUE); // We'll use async DNS resolving
if (!$dns_base) {
exit("Failed to init DNS Base\n");
}
$bev = new EventBufferEvent($base, /* use internal socket */ NULL,
EventBufferEvent::OPT_CLOSE_ON_FREE | EventBufferEvent::OPT_DEFER_CALLBACKS,
"readcb", /* writecb */ NULL, "eventcb", $base
);
if (!$bev) {
exit("Failed creating bufferevent socket\n");
}
//$bev->setCallbacks("readcb", /* writecb */ NULL, "eventcb", $base);
$bev->enable(Event::READ | Event::WRITE);
$output = $bev->output; //$bev->getOutput();
if (!$output->add(
"GET {$argv[2]} HTTP/1.0\r\n".
"Host: {$argv[1]}\r\n".
"Connection: Close\r\n\r\n"
)) {
exit("Failed adding request to output buffer\n");
}
if (!$bev->connectHost($dns_base, $argv[1], 80, EventUtil::AF_UNSPEC)) {
exit("Can't connect to host {$argv[1]}\n");
}
$base->dispatch();
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
