MyLittlePing

Object oriented and full configurable implementation of ICMP echo request message.

Installation

composer require luklewluk/mylittleping

Basic usage

Using dependency injection:

// Create object instances
$config = new Config();
$connection = new Socket($config);
$ping = new Ping($connection, $config);
// Send request
echo $ping->send('google.com') . PHP_EOL;

Using static factory:

$ping = Ping::createWithConnection(Socket::class);
echo $ping->send('google.com') . PHP_EOL;

Connection implementations

Socket

The most advanced and customisable connection method.

Requires root access.

$connection = new Socket($config);

Fsockopen

It is not recommended way to get exact latency time. Also it can return response time even if server is not responding.

The method does not support custom parameters.

$connection = new Fsockopen($config);

Your own implementation

If you need to use your own connection method (i.e. "exec" way) you can easily do it by writing a new class which implements ConnectionInterface.

$ping = new Ping(new YourClass(), $config);

Custom parameters

List of available parameters to set:

Port

$config->setPort(8080);

Payload

$config->setPayload('abcdefg');
