About
-----

[](#about)

This package is a client that supports some implementations of the RCON protocol. [About RCON](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_RCON_Protocol)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can get this package using composer

```
composer require anvilm/php.rcon
```

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

### Create a client

[](#create-a-client)

```
use AnvilM\RCON\Clients\Minecraft\MinecraftClient;

$Ip = '127.0.0.1'; //Server IP
$Port = 25575; //RCON port

$Client = new MinecraftClient($Ip, $Port);
```

### Authentication

[](#authentication)

Before sending commands you need to authenticate:

```
$Password = '123' // RCON Password

$Client->authenticate($Password);
```

### Send commands

[](#send-commands)

To send a command you need to call the sendCommand method:

```
$Client->sendCommand('time set day');
```

### Available clients:

[](#available-clients)

- **Minecraft**

Base RCON Client
----------------

[](#base-rcon-client)

If you want to create your own client, you can use RconClient to exchange packets with the server.

### RCON Entity

[](#rcon-entity)

RCON Entity is an object that acts as a DTO and contains data for sending a command and a response from the server, since they use the same structure.

```
use AnvilM\RCON\Entity\RCON

$data = new RCON(
    1, // packet id, the response will have the same id
    2 // packet type, may vary by implementation
    'time set day' // command
);
```

### Request method

[](#request-method)

Request method sends a command to the server and waits for a response, if $timeout is not specified it will wait 5 seconds, if a response has arrived it will return an RCON object with the response data.

```
use AnvilM\RCON\RCONClient;
use AnvilM\RCON\Entity\RCON;

$client = new RCONClient('127.0.0.1', 25575);

// Minecraft authorization
$data = new RCON(1, 3, '123');

// Returns new RCON(1, 2, '')
$response = $client->request($data);
```

Connections
-----------

[](#connections)

This package uses [php.transport](https://github.com/AnvilM/php.transport) so you can manage connections and sockets.

To get the current connection use this method:

```
use AnvilM\RCON\RCONClient;

$client = new RCONClient('127.0.0.1', 25575);

$connection = $client->getConnection();
```

For example, you can close and open connections, but in this case you will have to authenticate again.

```
// Close connection and create new socket
$connection->close();

// Open connection with new socket
$connection->open()

// Auth with new socket
$client->request(
    new RCON(1, 3, '123')
);
```
