这篇文章可以说是来之不易,非常曲折。其实原本需要解决的问题很简单:通过PHP获取NTP服务器的时间。
第一感觉是,PHP是世界上最好的语言,网上找找分分钟搞定!
但是,你会发现各家的NTP服务用的协议和端口都不一样,至少表面看来有的是 13/TCP、37/TCP、123/UDP 等等不一而足,
而我们将这个功能给用户使用的时候,天知道他会配置什么 NTP 服务器?还可能是企业内部的时钟服务器呢。。。
所以,必须要有足够的兼容性!
然后最精彩的就是,初期调研结果全都是 TCP 系列的。
使用 stream_socket_client()
、fsockopen()
、socket_create()
对于不同的 NTP 服务的响应主要是
- 连接被拒绝(Connect refused. / 111) —— 协议不对(比如阿里的,ntp.aliyun.com)
- 服务暂时不可用(Service unabailable / 11)—— Socket 使用的模式不对
- 接收数据失败(Time out)—— 传输的数据不正确/服务确实不可用/timeout 时间设置过短
等等,设置过超时时间、更改数据接收的长度、更换 Socket 通讯函数、枚举可用的端口、手动解析域名的IP……
都失败了/不满足兼容性的要求。
甚至 php.net 中所有与 socket 相关的函数,管他中文英文都看了一遍(包括示例)
百度结果更换无数种关键词,各自翻到8-9页的所有网站都看了一遍。。。
最后的最后,就准备换成 golang 了(虽然在语言上与 PHP 同时提供服务还需要做一些工作,但好歹能满足要求),无意中在一个角落找到了可用方案!!
(源码见后文)
最大的反思是:被中文惯坏了,RFC 1305 / RFC 5905 的文档没有认真看,而很多服务器都是严格遵循这个标准的;另外一个就是有些服务商同时提供 TCP 和 UDP 的版本,导致一直按照这些个例去考虑问题
所以,有些时候,还是不能太任性,该耐心学习新东西就好好去实现
