Once the crypto settings are established, cryptography can be turned on and off dynamically by passing TRUE or FALSE in the enable parameter.

Parameters

Enable/disable cryptography on the stream.

crypto_type

Setup encryption on the stream. Valid methods are

  • STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv2_CLIENT
  • STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv3_CLIENT
  • STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv23_CLIENT
  • STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_CLIENT
  • STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv2_SERVER
  • STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv3_SERVER
  • STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv23_SERVER
  • STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_SERVER

session_stream

Seed the stream with settings from session_stream.

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success, FALSE if negotiation has failed or 0 if there isn't enough data and you should try again (only for non-blocking sockets).

Examples

Example #1 stream_socket_enable_crypto example

<?php
$fp = stream_socket_client("tcp://myproto.example.com:31337", $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
    die("Unable to connect: $errstr ($errno)");
}

/* Turn on encryption for login phase */
stream_socket_enable_crypto($fp, true, STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv23_CLIENT);
fwrite($fp, "USER god\r\n");
fwrite($fp, "PASS secret\r\n");

/* Turn off encryption for the rest */
stream_socket_enable_crypto($fp, false);

while ($motd = fgets($fp)) {
    echo $motd;
}

fclose($fp);
?>
