stream_socket_enable_crypto

(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0, PHP 7)

Turns encryption on/off on an already connected socket

mixed stream_socket_enable_crypto ( resource $stream, bool $enable [, int $crypto_type [, resource $session_stream ]] )

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 parameter.

Parameters:

stream

The stream resource.

enable

Enable/disable cryptography on the stream.

crypto_type

Setup encryption on the stream. Valid methods are

STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv2_CLIENT
STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv3_CLIENT
STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv23_CLIENT
STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_CLIENT
STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv2_SERVER
STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv3_SERVER
STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_SSLv23_SERVER
STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_SERVER

If omitted, the crypto_type context option on the stream's SSL context will be used instead.

session_stream

Seed the stream with settings from session_stream.

Returns:

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:

5.6.0

The crypto_type is now optional.

Examples:

stream_socket_enable_crypto() 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\r\n");
fwrite($fp, "PASS secret\r\n");

/* 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:
