API PHP package
Client
The examples on this page use the PEAR2_Net_RouterOS package. You can install it with the PEAR(2) installer, or just download and extract the files from the "src" directory wherever you wish.
All examples assume that the files from the "src" folder are somehow directly accessible to your PHP file (either via editing your include_path, or by simply extracting the contents of the "src" folder where your own PHP file is). Also, the router is assumed to be accessible with a local IP to the device PHP runs from. The client itself could work without these restrictions - they are specified here for clarity.
NOTE: The client requires PHP 5.3.0 or later.
Example 1: An HTML form to make RouterOS ping someone
This example is particularly useful when you want to ping someone from inside the network while browsing the page from outside the network.
<?php
namespace PEAR2\Net\RouterOS;
require_once 'PEAR2/Net/RouterOS/Autoload.php';
if (isset($_GET['act'])) {//This is merely to ensure the form was submitted.
$client = new Client('192.168.0.1', 'admin', 'password');//Adjust RouterOS IP, username and password accordingly.
if ($_GET['act'] === 'Ping' && isset($_GET['address'])) {//This is just one approach that allows you to create a multy purpose form, with ping being just one action.
$pingRequest = new Request('/ping count=3');//Ping can run for unlimited time, but for PHP, we need to actually stop it at some point.
$results = $client->sendSync($pingRequest->setArgument('address', $_GET['address']));
}
}
