XXXIV. Expect Functions

IntroducciÃ³n

This extension allows to interact with processes through PTY. You may consider using the expect:// wrapper with the filesystem functions which provide a simpler and more intuitive interface.

Requisitos

This module uses the functions of the expect library. You need libexpect version >= 5.43.0.

InstalaciÃ³n

Esta extension PECL no esta ligada a PHP. Mas informacion sobre nuevos lanzamientos, descargas ficheros de fuentes, informacion sobre los responsables asi como un 'CHANGELOG', se puede encontrar aqui: http://pecl.php.net/package/expect.

En PHP 4 la fuente de las extensiones PECL pueden encontrarse en el directorio ext/ que se existe en las fuentes de PHP o en el enlace PECL de arriba. In order to use these functions you must compile PHP with expect support by using the --with-expect[=DIR] configure option.

Windows users will enable php_expect.dll inside of php.ini in order to use these functions. En PHP 4, esta DLL se encuentra en el directorio extensions/ que existe en los binarios de PHP para Windows. Podeis descargar esta DLL de las extensiones PECL desde la pagina PHP Downloads o desde http://snaps.php.net/.

ConfiguraciÃ³n en tiempo de ejecuciÃ³n

El comportamiento de estas funciones estÃ¡ afectado por los valores definidos en php.ini.

In order to configure expect extension, there are configuration options in the configuration file php.ini.

Tabla 1. Expect Configure Options

Name	Default	Changeable
expect.timeout	"10"	PHP_INI_ALL
expect.loguser	"1"	PHP_INI_ALL
expect.logfile	""	PHP_INI_ALL

For further details and definitions of the PHP_INI_* constants, see the ApÃ©ndice G.

A continuaciÃ³n se presenta una corta explicaciÃ³n de las directivas de configuraciÃ³n.

expect.timeout integer

The timeout period for waiting for the data, when using the expect_expectl() function.

A value of "-1" disables a timeout from occurring.

Nota: A value of "0" causes the expect_expectl() function to return immediately.

expect.loguser boolean

Whether expect should send any output from the spawned process to stdout. Since interactive programs typically echo their input, this usually suffices to show both sides of the conversation.

expect.logfile string

Name of the file, where the output from the spawned process will be written. If this file doesn't exist, it will be created.

Nota: If this configuration is not empty, the output is written regardless of the value of expect.loguser.

Tipos de recursos

Esta extensiÃ³n no tiene ningÃºn tipo de recurso definido.

Constantes predefinidas

Estas constantes estÃ¡n definidas por esta extensiÃ³n y estarÃ¡n disponibles solamente cuando la extensiÃ³n ha sido o bien compilada dentro de PHP o grabada dinÃ¡micamente en tiempo de ejecuciÃ³n.

EXP_GLOB (integer): Indicates that the pattern is a glob-style string pattern.
EXP_EXACT (integer): Indicates that the pattern is an exact string.
EXP_REGEXP (integer): Indicates that the pattern is a regexp-style string pattern.
EXP_EOF (integer): Value, returned by expect_expectl(), when EOF is reached.
EXP_TIMEOUT (integer): Value, returned by expect_expectl() upon timeout of seconds, specified in value of expect.timeout
EXP_FULLBUFFER (integer): Value, returned by expect_expectl() if no pattern have been matched.

Ejemplos

This example connects to the remote host via SSH, and prints the remote uptime.

Ejemplo 1. Expect Usage Example


<?php

ini_set ("expect.loguser", "Off");



$stream = popen ("expect://ssh root@remotehost uptime", "r");



$cases = array (

  array (0 => "password:", 1 => PASSWORD)

);



switch (expect_expectl ($stream, $cases))

{

 case PASSWORD:

  fwrite ($stream, "password\n");

  break;

 

 default:

  die ("Error was occurred while connecting to the remote host!\n");

}



while ($line = fgets ($stream)) {

  print $line;

}

fclose ($stream);

?>
