Topic resolved.

this has been covered here before , use the search feature provided to look for it.

Did. I ain't that stupid. Found some posts, but none of then answered my question about using sockets in php to connect to battle.net. If you actually found one, I'd be impressed since I searched the forum archives twice using different keywords. once, using PHP as keyword, twice using PHP socket. Useless results either way. PHP has WAY massive results, and i've waded thru it, only to find useless results and even more useless results, while PHP socket brought up only one post of relevance:

<<Post by Tuberload in response to PrivateWilly's post>>
You are either going to have to interface the PHP script with a bot made in another programming language, or make a bot of sort out of PHP that will connect, logon, join the specified channel, and gather information.

I would go with the first suggestion, but either should work. Keep in mind the second solution assumes PHP supports sockets, and I don't know whether it does or not.

Edit: PHP does have socket support, so code on!
<<End of post>>

As you can see, doesn't give info on how php sockets should be used in order to connect to battle.net and login via the telnet gateway. Trust me, I've used planetsourcecode.com's search, google.com's search, yahoo.com's search. Even asked two fellow php coders. they got hostile and didn't want to tell me how sockets should be used to connect to battle.net because they wanted to be "the only ones with working scripts that connected to battle.net and used it".

So as a result, I'm a tad bit quite sick of searching everywhere for something that doesn't exist or doesn't want to be found, and I'm tired of trying to pry this information out of people.

Forgive me if I've offended you, as that was quite unintentional.

?>[/code][/quote]It does not appear as though you are identifying which type of connection you are, but are heading straight to sending your username and password.

Assuming you're trying to logon a CHAT client, you need to send 3 as a byte to identify yourself as a CHAT connection (rather than BnFTP, or game client, or perhaps others). Also, if you want to disable the server's echoing of what you sent, you need to also send 4 as a byte (which is only relevant with CHAT connections).

Lastly, please make use of the [ code ] tags.

If you haven't already, consider having your script just parrot whatever battle.net sends it to the end client. That'll determine whether your parser is broken or whether the BNCS really isn't sending any other data.

E-mail me for the solution.

You know when you connect with Chat you got to send C.. Try it your self on Telnet. Make sur e u send C..

Don't know if you had this in your code or not, just trying to help out.
I like PHP and would love to hear someone did something like this!

Nah, don't need c to be in code- the script already sends the neccessary data to establish a connection. And the script is fully functional. Try it out for yourself! :-)

Thanks for the info! But I won't be developing a binary bot in PHP since PHP sucks for that. If I was going to develop one, I'd probably do it in C. But I'll keep that info in storage for if I ever do decide to take on the project.

Can't you just use telnet?

telnet useast.battle.net 6112
then type 'c' when you see the cursor

Yeah but then it wouldn't be a script on his site now woud it...

True true true

So is there any way to keep a socket open?

like if i wanted to run a bot off of a server would their be any way?

mmmm that scripts superior to mine. 0.o

I create other class with this to have a powerfull bot : many commands, database gestion (xml or mysql), tournament management.
Do you have an idea how to create a bot how can log himself as warcraft client ?

ummm if ur using the chat protocol for the script, then i'd say no way really- because when you login, you're set up as a chat user, meaning if you wanted to reterive ur own stats, ud have to specify what client.

However if you truly want to login as a warcraft client using PHP, that's a tad bit complicated because then it'd be a binary bot- it'd involve the use of hashes, check revision, packet handling, and et centra, which would be a toughie if done via PHP.

But then don't take my word for it, since I've not succeeded at coding a binary bot yet in VB. :-P

Yes it will be complicated to re write hash for php :-/

It's cases like this which BNLS because extremely useful. It decreases coding time as well as execution time (being that PHP is a script, all of the hashing functions... CheckRevision in particular, will run very slowly).
