I ran in to many ssh2 stream problems as well.
Problem 1.
One problem I think related to the openssl version I was using.
I was using the standard version with Fedora Core 3. ssh connected actions
sometimes worked and sometimes did not work.
I recompiled the ssh2.so with the following versions.
libssh2-0.8
openssl-0.9.7g
ssh2-0.7
Problem 2.
At this point file transfers worked great. However, running commands and
reading the stream was having problems.
Using the classic
<?
| while (!feof($ssh_stream)) {
$contents .= fread($||ssh_stream||, 5120);
}
?>
I found that I never got any responses.
After testing I found that my $||ssh_stream always had a true response
to feof($||ssh_stream||)|;
And that fread($ssh_stream,5120) did not always bring back data.
While the following is not a Correction to the problem, it does allow
you to read the incoming stream
and know when it is done computing. This is the function I use which is
in side a remoteConnection
class I have wrapping the different ssh2 functions. If somebody comes up
with a "CORRECTIOIN" to
the problem rather than a work around, I would surely appreciate it.
Here is my work around with comments. Hope it helps.
<?
function command ($command) {
// attach "echo '__end_cmd_response__';" to the end of any
command run.
// this will be the last thing in the streams output so I
can identify when my command
// has finished.
$stream = ssh2_exec($this->conn, $command ."\necho
'__end_cmd_response__';" );
if ($stream) {
// not fully sure why I do this. but it does not seem to
hurt. The stream has no data
// right away.
sleep(5);
// turning blocking off allows stream to keep moving
eventhough no data is coming
// through it. Required to make the time out work correctly.
socket_set_blocking($stream,false);
// the time out is set less than the php time out.
Otherwise you run the risk of the
// php timing out if the stream hangs.
stream_set_timeout($stream,25);
$start = mktime();
// manual indicator to exit the while
$exit = false;
while ($exit == false) {
$read .= fread($stream,5120);
// this pulls meta data from the stram so we can
test for the time out.
$info = stream_get_meta_data($stream);
// test for the echo'ed __end_cmd_response__
if (ereg("__end_cmd_response__",$read)) {
$exit = true;
break;
// check to see if the stream has timed out.
} elseif ($info["timed_out"]) {
// i just add this to tell the user that the
stream timed out.
$read .= "<i>Exited stream reading (25 seconds).
Check changes online.</i>\n";
$exit = true;
break;
}
}
fclose($stream);
return $read;
}
?>
