Get list of traceroute hops with php

问题

shell_exec("traceroute IPaddress) returns traceroute to IPaddress (IPaddress), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets

How do I retrieve the actual list of hops so I can tell where a problem occurs?

回答1:

Those messages are supposed to be written to stderr instead of the regular stdout, so I'm not too sure why you're seeing them appear in the output.

Instead of shell_exec() I would recommend using exec() because it captures both the output AND the return code of the process:

exec('traceroute example.com 2>&1', $out, $code);
if ($code) {
    die("An error occurred while trying to traceroute: " . join("\n", $out);
}
print_r($out);

To speed up the command a little you could use the -n option when you run traceroute to avoid having to do DNS lookups for the intermediate hops.

Note that running traceroute can take a while; if you run it on the command line you can sometimes see lines with * * * in them, which can take ages!

回答2:

Use exec and look at its second parameter :

string exec ( string $command [, array &$output [, int &$return_var ]] )

Example :

<?php

exec('traceroute test.com -m 2', $output);
var_dump($output);
