Fsock object value

[manuitpro]

Hi All,

I have been using fsockopen() in a function in a class. I am able to pass all the objects in a class to another page except the fsockopen () value. I have put the values of objects from the output print_r() as below

main pages Class objects
Cisco Object
(
[_hostname:private] => 10.10.1.49
[_password:private] => cisco123
[_username:private] => cisco
[_connection:private] => Resource id #3
[_data:private] => R3#
[_timeout:private] => 3
[_prompt:private] => #
)

Class values transfred to another page

Cisco Object
(
[_hostname:private] => 10.10.1.49
[_password:private] => cisco123
[_username:private] => cisco
[_connection:private] => 0
[_data:private] => R3#
[_timeout:private] => 3
[_prompt:private] => #
)

In all other pages the [_connection:private] value is resetting to 0. I have treid using class Cisco declaring class as SESSION. (session_register('cisco');) and global, but no hope.

Part of my code is

class Cisco
{
 
    private $_hostname;
    private $_password;
    private $_username;
    private $_connection;
    private $_data;
    private $_timeout;
    private $_prompt;
 
    public function __construct($hostname, $password, $username, $timeout = 3)
    {
        $this->_hostname = $hostname;
        $this->_password = $password;
        $this->_username = $username;
        $this->_timeout = $timeout;
}
 
public function connect()
    {
 
      $this->_connection = @fsockopen($this->_hostname, 23, $errno, $errstr,  $this->_timeout);
// code continues ....

Thanks

You cannot serialize a resource. You'll have to reopen the resource on each page request.

HTTP is stateless. You can't maintain connections from one request to another through normal methods.
