Re: X10 and xAP

[James <james@xxxxxxx>]

Andrew,

I have just been re-reading these post and have realised you are using
php, I thought it was all cgi.  The following lets you send a xAP
message in php using the socket class,  the code was part of the xAP
intranet that i am working on. (phpnuke based).  You will need to tweak
the source address and uid as required.  I have used this on apache and
iis and it works fine on both,  but you need to ake sure the socket
class exists on your install (most seem to have it)

function SendxAP($xapclass,$xaptarget,$xapbody){
global $localip,$broadcastip;
$xap="xap-header".chr(10)
."{".chr(10)
."v=12".chr(10)
."hop=1".chr(10)
."uid=FF401000".chr(10)
."class=$xapclass".chr(10)
."source=mi4.php.nuke".chr(10);
if
($xaptarget!=""){$xap.="target=$xaptarget".chr(10);};
$xap.="}".chr(10)
.$xapbody;

$s = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, SOL_UDP);
if ($s == false) {
echo "Error creating socket!\n";
echo "Error:".socket_strerror(socket_last_error($s));
} else {
if (phpversion()<"4.3"){
$opt_ret =  socket_setopt($s, 1, 6, TRUE);
}
else
{
$opt_ret =  socket_set_option($s, 1, 6, TRUE);
};
$e = socket_sendto($s, $xap, strlen($xap), 0, $broadcastip, 3639);
socket_close($s);
};


return 0;
};


with these set also
//First section of IP of local net
$localip="192.168.0.";
//Broadcast address for sending xAP
$broadcastip="192.168.0.255";

I hope this helps

James

trying to do is write a website (hopefully in php) that will control my X10
modules. At the moment though I just want to get something working offline.

the target should be, and what about the UID?
