Question

I need to implement apple push notifications with a php server. I think the connection is correctly working but the message is refused by apple server for some reason.

I’m getting this error:

“error 0errorString
\nFatal error: Call to undefined
function socket_close() in
/home/www/76cdd1fbdfc5aca0c9f07f489ecd9188/web/mobileApp/handleRequest.php
on line 420
\n”

This is my simple code (with a fake message, just for testing):

$payload['aps'] = array('alert' => 'This is the alert text', 'badge' => unread, 'sound' => 'default');
    $payload['server'] = array('serverId' => $serverId, 'name' => $name);
    $payload = json_encode($payload);

    $apnsHost = 'gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com';
    $apnsPort = 2195;
    $apnsCert = 'ck.pem';

    $streamContext = stream_context_create();
    stream_context_set_option($streamContext, 'ssl', 'local_cert', $apnsCert);

    $apns = stream_socket_client('ssl://' . $apnsHost . ':' . $apnsPort, $error, $errorString, 2, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT, $streamContext);

    echo "error " . $error;
    echo "errorString" . $errorString;

    $apnsMessage = chr(0) . chr(0) . chr(32) . pack('H*', str_replace(' ', '', $deviceToken)) . chr(0) . chr(strlen($payload)) . $payload;
    fwrite($apns, $apnsMessage);

    socket_close($apns);
    fclose($apns);


    echo "Sent";

thanks

I’ve actually solved. The problem was the content of the message (empty). The socket function works perfectly.
