Socket Connection between PHP and C++
Question
I have created a TCP Socket connection between a PHP Page and C++ code. Here is the c++ code for this.
Server.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
using namespace std;
int main(){
int create_socket,new_socket,fd;
int n;
socklen_t addrlen;
struct sockaddr_in address;
if ((create_socket = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0)) > 0)
cout<<"The socket was created\n";
address.sin_family = AF_INET;
address.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;//INADDR_ANY;inet_addr("localhost");
address.sin_port = htons(4000);
cout<<"\nworking";
if (bind(create_socket,(struct sockaddr *)&address,sizeof(address)) == 0)
cout<<"Binding Socket\n";
while(1){
listen(create_socket,3);
addrlen = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in);
cout<<"*************************\n";
new_socket = accept(create_socket,(struct sockaddr *)&address,&addrlen);
cout<<"*************************\n";
char dobj[1024];
if (new_socket > 0){
n = read(new_socket, dobj, 1023);
string query(dobj);
string strl(query);
string s, d;
istringstream iss(strl);
iss >> s;
iss >> d;
const char* source = s.c_str();
const char* dest = d.c_str();
printf("Here is the message: %s %s\n",source,dest);
n = write(new_socket, "I got your message", 18);
}
}
close(new_socket);
return close(create_socket);
}
and the PHP code is index.php
<?php
if (isset($_GET['submit'])){
$query = $_GET['query'];
echo $query;
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$service_port = 4000;
$address = "localhost";
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
if ($socket === false){
echo "Failed: ". socket_strerror(socket_last_error($socket))."\n";
}
echo "Attempting to connect to '$address' on port '$service_port'...'\n";
$result = socket_connect($socket, $address, $service_port);
if ($result === false){
echo "Failed: ". socket_strerror(socket_last_error($socket))."\n";
}
$in = $query;
$out = '';
echo "Sending...\n";
socket_send($socket, $in, strlen($in), MSG_WAITALL);
echo "OK.\n";
echo "Reading response:\n\n";
while ($out = socket_read($socket, 2048)) {
echo $out;
}
socket_close($socket);
}
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="index.php" method="get">
Query: <input type="text" name="query">
<button type="submit" name="submit">Submit!</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I run Server.cpp on terminal and run index.php on browser.When I run index.php on browser and enter a query say "123456 7890", the Server prints outs the message 123456 7890 on terminal.
But the server is not able to send back the message "I got your message" to index.php on browser. Only when I exit the server by pressing Ctrl + C, it sends the message to index.php and only then index.php echoes everything on the browser. What is the problem here? I want to listen to socket in Server.cpp and send messages to index.php infinitely.

I looks like you have not configured your socket as non blocking (fcntl with O_NONBLOCK flag), so the read operation, read(new_socket, dobj, 1023); will block until it receives 1023 bytes.
You can either configure the socket as non-blocking or read fewer bytes at a time. But the best solution is the first one.
