ActiveSocket can be well integrated into PHP environments. This document describes how ActiveSocket can be integrated into PHP projects.

Step 1: Download and install ActiveSocket

Download ActiveSocket from the ActiveXperts Download Site and start the installation. The installation guides you through the installation process.

Step 2: Create a form

To execute the telnet commands the user is going to give, you need to get the command from the user. We're doing that using a form. In this form we'll work with 4 fields.

  • One field for the command we're going to give (name : command)
  • One field for the location we want to send the command at (name : server)
  • One field for the port we want to send the command at (name : port)
  • And one field for the logfile (name : logfile)

You can make it look like this:

Create a form with the names listed above. To trigger the commands, we're going to set a variable in the url. In this sample we're using the variable "execute". You can fill in this variable using the action propertie in the <form> tag. 

<form action=index.php?execute=ready>
