XCVII. Network Functions

Requirements

No external libraries are needed to build this extension.

Installation

There is no installation needed to use these functions; they are part of the PHP core.

Runtime Configuration

The behaviour of these functions is affected by settings in php.ini.

Table 1. Network Configuration Options

NameDefaultChangeableChangelog
define_syslog_variables"0"PHP_INI_ALL 
For further details and definitions of the PHP_INI_* constants, see the Appendix G.

Here's a short explanation of the configuration directives.

define_syslog_variables boolean

Whether or not to define the various syslog variables (e.g. $LOG_PID, $LOG_CRON, etc.). Turning it off is a good idea performance-wise. At runtime, you can define these variables by calling define_syslog_variables().

Resource Types

This extension has no resource types defined.

Predefined Constants

The constants below are always available as part of the PHP core.

Table 2. openlog() Options

ConstantDescription
LOG_CONS if there is an error while sending data to the system logger, write directly to the system console
LOG_NDELAY open the connection to the logger immediately
LOG_ODELAY (default) delay opening the connection until the first message is logged
LOG_NOWAIT 
LOG_PERRORprint log message also to standard error
LOG_PIDinclude PID with each message

Table 3. openlog() Facilities

ConstantDescription
LOG_AUTH security/authorization messages (use LOG_AUTHPRIV instead in systems where that constant is defined)
LOG_AUTHPRIVsecurity/authorization messages (private)
LOG_CRONclock daemon (cron and at)
LOG_DAEMONother system daemons
LOG_KERNkernel messages
LOG_LOCAL0 ... LOG_LOCAL7reserved for local use, these are not available in Windows
LOG_LPRline printer subsystem
LOG_MAILmail subsystem
LOG_NEWSUSENET news subsystem
LOG_SYSLOGmessages generated internally by syslogd
LOG_USERgeneric user-level messages
LOG_UUCPUUCP subsystem

Table 4. syslog() Priorities (in descending order)

ConstantDescription
LOG_EMERGsystem is unusable
LOG_ALERTaction must be taken immediately
LOG_CRITcritical conditions
LOG_ERRerror conditions
LOG_WARNINGwarning conditions
LOG_NOTICEnormal, but significant, condition
LOG_INFOinformational message
LOG_DEBUGdebug-level message

Table 5. dns_get_record() Options

ConstantDescription
DNS_AIPv4 Address Resource
DNS_MXMail Exchanger Resource
DNS_CNAMEAlias (Canonical Name) Resource
DNS_NSAuthoritative Name Server Resource
DNS_PTRPointer Resource
DNS_HINFOHost Info Resource (See IANA's Operating System Names for the meaning of these values)
DNS_SOAStart of Authority Resource
DNS_TXTText Resource
DNS_ANYAny Resource Record. On most systems this returns all resource records, however it should not be counted upon for critical uses. Try DNS_ALL instead.
DNS_AAAAIPv6 Address Resource
DNS_ALLIteratively query the name server for each available record type.
