ftok

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5, PHP 7)

ftokConvert a pathname and a project identifier to a System V IPC key

Описание

int ftok ( string $pathname , string $proj )

The function converts the pathname of an existing accessible file and a project identifier into an integer for use with for example shmop_open() and other System V IPC keys.

Список параметров

pathname

Path to an accessible file.

proj

Project identifier. This must be a one character string.

Возвращаемые значения

On success the return value will be the created key value, otherwise -1 is returned.

Missing ftok() on Windows? Here's my little workaround:

<?php
if( !function_exists('ftok') )
{
    function 
ftok($filename ""$proj "")
    {
        if( empty(
$filename) || !file_exists($filename) )
        {
            return -
1;
        }
        else
        {
           
$filename $filename . (string) $proj;
            for(
$key = array(); sizeof($key) < strlen($filename); $key[] = ord(substr($filenamesizeof($key), 1)));
            return 
dechex(array_sum($key));
        }
    }
}
?>

NOTE: There *may* be duplicate keys, even if probability is low.

The key's were NOT computed like the original UNIX ftok() because i.e. fileinode() is also missing on windows. Normally ftok() computes a key based on the file inode and the system minor id of the harddrive the file resides.

Behaviour is like PHPs ftok(), -1 is returned if file is missing or $filename is empty, computed int as hex on success.

Thanks to  daniele_dll@yahoo.it who got this in turn from linux glibc 2.3.2: function.shmop-open -- I'm putting this here because it might be helpful to others.

function ftok($pathname, $proj_id) {
   $st = @stat($pathname);
   if (!$st) {
       return -1;
   }
 
   $key = sprintf("%u", (($st['ino'] & 0xffff) | (($st['dev'] & 0xff) << 16) | (($proj_id & 0xff) << 24)));
   return $key;
}

If you're planning to use ftok() to generate an IPC identifier to share with other applications, note that PHP uses the ASCII value of the proj parameter to generate the key, not the proj (aka id) parameter itself.

The result of this is that if you're using "1" as the id on the PHP side, you'll need to use 49 elsewhere.

This may not be the case under all OS's, but certainly is for FreeBSD which requires the id parameter passed to ftok to be an int.

Also of note, ipcs and ipcrm are extremely useful for debugging SysV queues etc.

As ftok uses only the last 16 bits of the inode of the file, you can get collisions on large filesystems. Unfortunately, on large filesystems you can get collisions rather quickly: if you have a collection of 350-400 files, odds are that two of them have inodes with the same last 16 bits. So I've taken to using fileinode instead of ftok with functions like shmop_open.

The rather unintuitive usage of ftok with shm related functions like shmop_open and shm_attach could simply be explained as a need to avoid shm key collisions. Using ftok with a file that belongs to your project is likely to generate a unique key. Additionally, using ftok with a file from your project avoids the need to store the key so that other processes can access the segment because ftok will always give you the same key if you pass the same file.

abk@avatartechnology.com has copied the code of daniele_dll@yahoo.it
But it is not correct.
The right version is here:
<?php
function ftok ($filePath$projectId) {
   
$fileStats stat($filePath);
    if (!
$fileStats) {
        return -
1;
    }

    return 
sprintf('%u',
        (
$fileStats['ino'] & 0xffff) | (($fileStats['dev'] & 0xff) << 16) | ((ord($projectId) & 0xff) << 24)
    );
}
?>

The difference is that $projectId string should be used as ASCII value via ord() function. Otherwise it will be interpreted as 0.
