php serial port code example

Example 1: how to read data from serial port in php

For Windows the Example 1 looks same this one:

<?php

exec('mode com1: baud=9600 data=8 stop=1 parity=n xon=on');
// execute 'help mode' in command line of Windows for help

$fd = dio_open('com1:', O_RDWR);

while (1) {

  $data = dio_read($fd, 256);

  if ($data) {
     echo $data;
  }
}

?>

Example 2: php read serial port

<?php
class Scanner {
  protected $port; // port path, e.g. /dev/pts/5
  protected $fd; // numeric file descriptor
  protected $base; // EventBase
  protected $dio; // dio resource
  protected $e_open; // Event
  protected $e_read; // Event

  public function __construct ($port) {
    $this->port = $port;
    $this->base = new EventBase();
  }

  public function __destruct() {
    $this->base->exit();

    if ($this->e_open)
      $this->e_open->free();
    if ($this->e_read)
      $this->e_read->free();
    if ($this->dio)
      dio_close($this->dio);
  }

  public function run() {
    $stream = fopen($this->port, 'rb');
    stream_set_blocking($stream, false);

    $this->fd = EventUtil::getSocketFd($stream);
    if ($this->fd < 0) {
      fprintf(STDERR, "Failed attach to port, events: %d\n", $events);
      return;
    }

    $this->e_open = new Event($this->base, $this->fd, Event::WRITE, [$this, '_onOpen']);
    $this->e_open->add();
    $this->base->dispatch();

    fclose($stream);
  }

  public function _onOpen($fd, $events) {
    $this->e_open->del();

    $this->dio = dio_fdopen($this->fd);
    // Call other dio functions here, e.g.
    dio_tcsetattr($this->dio, [
      'baud' => 9600,
      'bits' => 8,
      'stop'  => 1,
      'parity' => 0
    ]);

    $this->e_read = new Event($this->base, $this->fd, Event::READ | Event::PERSIST,
      [$this, '_onRead']);
    $this->e_read->add();
  }

  public function _onRead($fd, $events) {
    while ($data = dio_read($this->dio, 1)) {
      var_dump($data);
    }
  }
}

// Change the port argument
$scanner = new Scanner('/dev/pts/5');
$scanner->run();
