Hi
I have been getting statistical rapports from a machine via a
telnet server. Until now it has been done manually. However
I want to automate the proccess, and scedule a PHP script to
run everyday.
Using my terminal, I give the command to order a rapport,
and then press <ESC>. Then the rapport is printed out.
Using a PHP script I can order a rapport, all works fine,
except I can not get the printout. When I try to send <ESC>
the telnet server responds with "syntax fault" so
I'm not doing it right.
I have tried the following:
$do_esc=chr(27);
fputs ($fp, "$do_esc");
and
fputs ($fp, "\e");
Any ideas???
<?php
$address = '100.100.1.70';
$port = 5000;
$fp = fsockopen($address,$port);
$s='o';
$s=fgets($fp,128); //the telnet server responds when connected
echo("<br>$s<br>");
fputs ($fp, "SOME-COMMAND"); //some command to order a rapport
$s=fgets($fp,128);
echo("<br>$s<br>"); //telnet server responds with "rapport failed" or "executed"
/
Here the tricky part starts,
trying to get the rapport
printed out. No success so far.
To get the rapport printed out
<ESC> has to sent to the telnet
server
/
$do_esc=chr(27);
fputs ($fp, "$do_esc"); //this does not work, trying to
//send <ESC> to the telnet server.
while (!strstr($t,'END')) { // supposed to get the printout
$t=fgets ($fp,128); // that never comes
echo("<br>$t");
}
fclose($fp);
?>
