PHP TCP Socket

Hi there

Please see the screenshot below. I have a device at ip address 192.168.1.112 that connects and sends data to another device 192.168.1.100:8888. I can see this using a GUI Windows tool that I have (screenshot).



What I would like is a php script that connects, binds and listens to 192.168.1.100:8888 and extracts the data heard on that port and enters it into MySQL database.

Can anyone help me with a script that will do this please?

 

What is the format for your data and where is the mysql server hosted ? here only >> 192.168.1.100:8888

 

MySQL server is at localhost and the data is sent in HEX format. What I would like is to be able to read the data being sent to 192.168.1.100:8888 from 192.168.1.112

To start with, how can I get this to even output in a browser?

I have this code, but it just sits there in the browser but doesn't output anything:

<?php
/* Open a server socket to port 8888 */
$server = stream_socket_server('tcp://192.168.1.100:8888');

/* Accept a connection */
$socket = stream_socket_accept($server);

/* Grab a packet (1500 is a typical MTU size) of OOB data */
echo "Received Out-Of-Band: '" . stream_socket_recvfrom($socket, 1500, STREAM_OOB) . "'\n";

/* Take a peek at the normal in-band data, but don't comsume it. */
echo "Data: '" . stream_socket_recvfrom($socket, 1500, STREAM_PEEK) . "'\n";

/* Get the exact same packet again, but remove it from the buffer this time. */
echo "Data: '" . stream_socket_recvfrom($socket, 1500) . "'\n";

/* Close it up */
fclose($socket);
fclose($server);
?>

Code (markup):

I can see that a connection is being established using netstat in windows:

 

Try something like this:

set_time_limit (0);

$address ='46.49.41.188';

$port =7777;
$con =1;
$word ="";

$sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM,0);
$bind = socket_bind($sock, $address, $port);

socket_listen($sock);

while($con ==1){
$client = socket_accept($sock);
$input = socket_read($client,2024);

if($input =='exit'){
$close = socket_close($sock);
$con =0;}

if($con ==1){
$word .= $input;}}

echo $word;

This isn't showing anything either, the page just hangs. It establishes the connection OK, as I can see it as 'Established' in 'netstat' but nothing is echoed out to the browser.

If I refresh, I just get the error below, which indicates the port is in use:

Warning: socket_bind(): unable to bind address [10048]: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted
