Some help with client socket

Recommended Posts

Hi

Out of my depth here:

I have some automation running on a hacked livebox.

I want to socket connect, then send an instruction. Problem is the response is constantly changing and I need to somehow requery and parse the result at intervals like 5 seconds. Just beginning to learn PHP so be kind if there is an easy answer. Here is some cut down script.

 

<?php
switch ($_REQUEST['btn_submit'])
{
case "Liv Boost":
$response = send("boost liv 1");
break;
 
case "Liv OFF":
$response = send("boost liv 0");
break;
 
case "Requery":
$response = send("");
}
 
function send($sendstring)
{
$fp = fsockopen("xx.xx.xx.xx", 9996, $errno, $errstr, 10);
    fwrite($fp, $sendstring);  
sleep(2);    
      
return fread($fp, 2056);
    fclose($fp);
 
function parse($RD,$par1,$par2,$par3)
{
$pos=strpos($RD,$par1);
If ($pos > 0){return substr($RD, $pos + $par2 , $par3);}
}
?> 
 
<html>
 
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
  <title>Home Automation</title>
</head>
<form method="POST">
<input type="submit" name="btn_submit"  value="Liv Boost" />
<input type="submit" name="btn_submit"  value="Liv OFF" />
<input type="textbox" name="rowID"  value="<?php echo parse($response,"livboostcounter",46,5); ?>" /></br>
<input type="submit" name="btn_submit" value="Requery" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
