STREAM_SOCKET_ENABLE_CRYPTO(3)						 1					    STREAM_SOCKET_ENABLE_CRYPTO(3)

stream_socket_enable_crypto - Turns encryption on/off on an already connected socket

SYNOPSIS
mixed stream_socket_enable_crypto (resource $stream, bool $enable, [int $crypto_type], [resource $session_stream]) DESCRIPTION
Enable or disable encryption on the stream. Once the crypto settings are established, cryptography can be turned on and off dynamically by passing TRUE or FALSE in the $enable param- eter. PARAMETERS
o $stream - The stream resource. o $enable - Enable/disable cryptography on the stream. o $crypto_type - Setup encryption on the stream. Valid methods are o STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv2_CLIENT o STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv3_CLIENT o STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv23_CLIENT o STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_CLIENT o STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv2_SERVER o STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv3_SERVER o STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv23_SERVER o STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_SERVER If omitted, the $crypto_type context option on the stream's SSL context will be used instead. o $session_stream - Seed the stream with settings from $session_stream. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success, FALSE if negotiation has failed or 0 if there isn't enough data and you should try again (only for non-blocking sockets). CHANGELOG
+--------+------------------------------------+ |Version | | | | | | | Description | | | | +--------+------------------------------------+ | 5.6.0 | | | | | | | The $crypto_type is now optional. | | | | +--------+------------------------------------+ EXAMPLES
Example #1 stream_socket_enable_crypto(3) example <?php $fp = stream_socket_client("tcp://myproto.example.com:31337", $errno, $errstr, 30); if (!$fp) { die("Unable to connect: $errstr ($errno)"); } /* Turn on encryption for login phase */ stream_socket_enable_crypto($fp, true, STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv23_CLIENT); fwrite($fp, "USER god "); fwrite($fp, "PASS secret "); /* Turn off encryption for the rest */ stream_socket_enable_crypto($fp, false); while ($motd = fgets($fp)) { echo $motd; } fclose($fp); ?> The above example will output something similar to: SEE ALSO
