Phsocks | Simple PHP SOCKS5 Proxy Client

Phsocks is a simple, easy to use and lightweight PHP class, primarily for tunneling sockets through a SOCKS proxy.

Phsocks is designed to work as a replacement of functions like fsockopen.

With basic error checking, you can easily adapt your script / application to permanently use a SOCKS proxy.

Features of Phsocks

• Lightweight and simple
• Error checking and reporting
• SOCKS5 core functionality
• No pre-requisets required

How do I use it?

Phsocks should be added at the start of your script.

require 'phsocks.php';

To open a socket via your proxy, you should create a new class specified as

phsock(remotehost,remoteport,proxyhost,proxyport)

Here's an example.

$phsock = new phsock("github.com",80,"localhost",9150);

You can check to see if your socket has been opened by doing

if ($phsock->ready) {
	//Socket is ready for writing.
}

Data can be written to an open socket using

$phsock->ph_write("This is a test message");

Data can be read by using

$data = $phsock->ph_read(numberofbytes);

Reading data should be done in a looping fashion.

You should refer to example.php for better examples.
