Php SSH2 fetch OUTPUT from Mikrotik

RouterOS Scripting
1

Hello,

I have started with PHP API (topic http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/basic-help-with-php-api/30578/1), but wanted to keep same CLI syntax, what is not possible what I didn`t know at the beginning. Since I wanted to preserve original syntax, I have found SSH2 for php, and despite tricky installation, I was delighted how things going on. However, after executing any command without issue, naturally, now I wanna fetch output, but there is the problem. Here is the code:

            // collect returning data from command original
            stream_set_blocking( $stream, true );
            $data = "";
            while( $buf = fread($stream,4096) ){
                $data .= $buf;
            }
            fclose($stream);

I have tried withoud while loop, but still nothing. Accidentally, I got the output from only this command:

/ip firewall filter print

presume because its larger amount of data or maybe it took a bit more time to fetch result...dont know, I have tried to “slow down” with sleep(1), but still nothing, any help would be really appreciated since this part is missing to start connect my php/mysql billing database with mikrotik network.

Regards,
S.

ok nearly 12 years later… but as we know.. the PHP api stopped working on the latest versions of Mikrotik 6.4xx so why not use ssh2_connect in order to send cmds and fetch the output result from mikrotik

1st you need to have a server machine the first cmd will depend on your linux distro version, i am using linux-debian distros so this is the cmd in order to install the correct libraries

apt-get install php-ssh2

once installed you can start working on your connections

you need to create a connection script example: connect-mkt.php and add the code below

<?php $methods = array('kex' => 'diffie-hellman-group1-sha1'); $connection = ssh2_connect('IP-OF-YOUR-MIKROTIK', PORT, $methods); if ($connection) { //echo "connection established\n\n"; if (ssh2_auth_password($connection, 'mikrotik-username', 'mikrotik-password')) { sleep(2); fclose($s); } else { echo "connection failed, please check your login credentials\n"; } } ?>

2nd you will need to create your PHP page flavour with your cmds exec and readout function you can use test php page like the one below

		stream_set_blocking($s,true);
		$stream_out = ssh2_fetch_stream($s, SSH2_STREAM_STDIO);
	    //echo stream_get_contents($stream_out);
		$output1 = stream_get_contents($stream_out);
		echo "<pre>{$output1}</pre>";
        sleep(2);
		$s = ssh2_exec($connection, '/system identity print');
		stream_set_blocking($s,true);
		$stream_out = ssh2_fetch_stream($s, SSH2_STREAM_STDIO);
	    //echo stream_get_contents($stream_out);
		$output2 = stream_get_contents($stream_out);
		echo "<pre>{$output2}</pre>";
        sleep(2);
		$s = ssh2_exec($connection, '/system clock print');
		stream_set_blocking($s,true);
		$stream_out = ssh2_fetch_stream($s, SSH2_STREAM_STDIO);
	    //echo stream_get_contents($stream_out);
		$output3 = stream_get_contents($stream_out);
		echo "<pre>{$output3}</pre>";
        sleep(2);
		$s = ssh2_exec($connection, '/system routerboard print');
		stream_set_blocking($s,true);
		$stream_out = ssh2_fetch_stream($s, SSH2_STREAM_STDIO);
	    //echo stream_get_contents($stream_out);
		$output4 = stream_get_contents($stream_out);
		echo "<pre>{$output4}</pre>";
        sleep(2);
		fclose($s);
        
        
        ?>

3rd if you wish to output the result on a html form table or row.. you just need to use the code below inside your html form or table


[quote]
value="<?php echo "{$output1}";?>
value="<?php echo "{$output2}";?>
value="<?php echo "{$output3}";?>
value="<?php echo "{$output4}";?>
