Can anybody give me a small example on using ssh2 functions ( http://pecl.php.net/package/ssh2 ).
I want to execute a command on the remote machine and want to get the ouput into a phpvariable.
Here is my php code ... <?php
$connection = ssh2_connect('127.0.0.1', 22);
ssh2_auth_password($connection, 'root', 'myrootpassword');
$stream = ssh2_exec($connection, 'uptime');
echo $stream;
?>
I'm getting some "Resource id #5" as output. What does this mean. How to get the actual output of my remote command.
I'm using PHP-4.3.10
best regards, /Chandu
that is because it returns a stream (as is explained in the manual (CVS). However, the docs haven't been updated online yet, so that's why you can't find em...). To read from the stream, I *guess* you could use any normal stream-reading function. eg. fread() or fget().
trying to echo a resource, will yield just that... 'Resource Id #n'.
$connection = ssh2_connect('127.0.0.1', 22);
ssh2_auth_password($connection, 'root', 'myrootpassword');
$stream = ssh2_exec($connection, 'uptime');
while(!feof($stream)) {
$var .= fread($stream, 1024);
}then you should have all in the $var.
hope that helps, - Tul
