PHP Bencode Library

Bencode is the encoding used by the peer-to-peer file sharing system BitTorrent for storing and transmitting loosely structured data.

This is a pure PHP library that allows you to encode and decode Bencode data, with torrent file parse and vaildate.

This library is fork from OPSnet/bencode-torrent, with same method like sandfoxme/bencode, sandfoxme/torrent-file

Installation

composer require rhilip/bencode

if you don't use Rhilip\Bencode\TorrentFile class, you can specific version to 1.x.x and if your PHP version is 5.6 or 7.0-7.2, please stop at version 1.2.0 and 2.0.0

composer require rhilip/bencode:1.2.0

The only Break Change is ParseErrorException in 1.x.x rename to ParseException in 2.x.x.

Usage

Class `Rhilip\Bencode\Bencode`

A pure PHP class to encode and decode Bencode data from file path and string.

<?php

require '/path/to/vendor/autoload.php';

use Rhilip\Bencode\Bencode;
use Rhilip\Bencode\ParseException;

// Decodes a BEncoded string
Bencode::decode($string);

// Encodes string/array/int to a BEncoded string
Bencode::encode($data);

// Decodes a BEncoded file From path
Bencode::load($path);

// Encodes string/array/int to a BEncoded file
Bencode::dump($path, $data);

// With Error Catch
try {
    Bencode::decode('wrong_string');
} catch (ParseException $e) {
    // do something
}

Class `Rhilip\Bencode\TorrentFile`

A pure PHP class to work with torrent files

note: Add in version 2

<?php

require '/path/to/vendor/autoload.php';

use Rhilip\Bencode\TorrentFile;
use Rhilip\Bencode\ParseException;

// 0. Defined Const
print(TorrentFile::PROTOCOL_V1); // v1
print(TorrentFile::PROTOCOL_V2); // v2
print(TorrentFile::PROTOCOL_HYBRID); // hybrid
print(TorrentFile::FILEMODE_SINGLE); // single
print(TorrentFile::FILEMODE_MULTI); // multi

// 1. Load Torrent and get instance
try {
    $torrent = TorrentFile::load($path);
    $torrent = TorrentFile::loadFromString($string);
} catch (ParseException $e) {
    // do something
}

// 2. Save Torrent to path or string (for echo)
$dumpStatus = $torrent->dump($path);
print($torrent->dumpToString());

// 3. Work with Root Fields
$torrent->getRootData();   // $root;
$rootField = $torrent->getRootField($field, ?$default);   // $root[$field] ?? $default;
$torrent->setRootField($field, $value);  // $root[$field] = $value;
$torrent->unsetRootField($field);  // unset($root[$field]);
$torrent->cleanRootFields(?$allowedKeys);  // remove fields which is not allowed in root

$torrent->setAnnounce('udp://example.com/announce');
$announce = $torrent->getAnnounce();

$torrent->setAnnounceList([['https://example1.com/announce'], ['https://example2.com/announce', 'https://example3.com/announce']]);
$announceList = $torrent->getAnnounceList();

$torrent->setComment('Rhilip\'s Torrent');
$comment = $torrent->getComment();

$torrent->setCreatedBy('Rhilip');
$createdBy = $torrent->getCreatedBy();

$torrent->setCreationDate(time());
$creationDate = $torrent->getCreationDate();

$torrent->setHttpSeeds(['udp://example.com/seed']);
$httpSeeds = $torrent->getHttpSeeds();

$torrent->setNodes(['udp://example.com/seed']);
$nodes = $torrent->getNodes();

$torrent->setUrlList(['udp://example.com/seed']);
$urlList = $torrent->getUrlList();

// 4. Work with Info Field
$torrent->getInfoData();   // $root['info'];
$infoField = $torrent->getInfoField($field, ?$default);  // $info[$field] ?? $default;
$torrent->setInfoField($field, $value); // $info[$field] = $value;
$torrent->unsetInfoField($field);  // unset($info[$field]);
$torrent->cleanInfoFields(?$allowedKeys);  // remove fields which is not allowed in info

$protocol = $torrent->getProtocol();  // TorrentFile::PROTOCOL_{V1,V2,HYBRID}
$fileMode = $torrent->getFileMode();  // TorrentFile::FILEMODE_{SINGLE,MULTI}

/**
 * @note since we may edit $root['info'], so when call ->getInfoHash* method, 
 *       we will calculate it each call without cache return-value. 
 */
$torrent->getInfoHashV1(?$binary);  // If $binary is true return 20-bytes string, otherwise 40-character hexadecimal number
$torrent->getInfoHashV2(?$binary);  // If $binary is true return 32-bytes string, otherwise 64-character hexadecimal number
$torrent->getInfoHash(?$binary);   // return v2-infohash if there is one, otherwise return v1-infohash
$torrent->getInfoHashs(?$binary);  // return [TorrentFile::PROTOCOL_V1 => v1-infohash, TorrentFile::PROTOCOL_V2 => v2-infohash]
$torrent->getInfoHashV1ForAnnounce();  // return the v1 info-hash in announce ( 20-bytes string )
$torrent->getInfoHashV2ForAnnounce();  // return the v2 (truncated) info-hash in announce
$torrent->getInfoHashsForAnnounce();  // same as getInfoHashs() but in announce

$torrent->getPieceLength();  // int

try {
    $torrent->setName($name);
} catch(\InvalidArgumentException $e) {
    // Do something
}
$name = $torrent->getName();

$torrent->setSource('Rhilip\'s blog');
$source = $torrent->getSource();

$private = $torrent->isPrivate();  // true or false
$torrent->setPrivate(true);

$magnetLink = $torrent->getMagnetLink();

// 5. Work with torrent, it will try to parse torrent ( cost time )
$torrent->setParseValidator(function ($filename, $paths) {
    /**
     * Before parse torrent ( call getSize, getFileCount, getFileList, getFileTree method ),
     * you can set a validator to test if filename or paths is valid,
     * And break parse process by any throw Exception.
     */
    print_r([$filename, $paths]);
    if (str_contains($filename, 'F**k')) {
        throw new ParseException('Not allowed filename in torrent');
    }
});

/**
 * parse method will automatically called when use getSize, getFileCount, getFileList, getFileTree method,
 * However you can also call parse method manually.
 */ 
$torrent->parse();  // ['total_size' => $totalSize, 'count' => $count, 'files' => $fileList, 'fileTree' => $fileTree]

/**
 * Note: Since we prefer to parse `file tree` in info dict in v2 or hybrid torrent,
 * The padding file may not count in size, fileCount, fileList and fileTree.
 */
$size = $torrent->getSize();
$count = $torrent->getFileCount();

/**
 * Return a list like:
 * [
 *   ["path" => "filename1", "size" => 123],   //  123 is file size
 *   ["path" => "directory/filename2", "size" => 2345]
 * ]
 *
 */
$fileList = $torrent->getFileList();


/**
 * Return a dict like:
 * [
 *     "torrentname" => [
 *         "directory" => [
 *             "filename2" => 2345
 *         ],
 *         "filename1" => 123
 *    ]
 * ]
 *
 * > Add in v2.4.0
 * You can now pass argument to control the fileTree sort type. By default, this argument is TorrentFile::FILETREE_SORT_NORMAL.
 * Control Const (see different in `tests/TorrentFileTreeSortTest.php` file):
 *  - TorrentFile::FILETREE_SORT_NORMAL : not sort, also means sort by torrent file parsed order 
 *  - TorrentFile::FILETREE_SORT_STRING : sort by filename ASC ("natural ordering" and "case-insensitively")
 *  - TorrentFile::FILETREE_SORT_FOLDER : sort by filetype (first folder, then file)
 *  - TorrentFile::FILETREE_SORT_NATURAL: sort by both filetype and filename ( same as `TorrentFile::FILETREE_SORT_STRING | TorrentFile::FILETREE_SORT_FOLDER` )
 * 
 */
$fileTree = $torrent->getFileTree(?$sortType = TorrentFile::FILETREE_SORT_NORMAL);

// 6. Other method
$torrent->cleanCache();

// Note 1: clean,set,unset method are chaining
$torrent
  ->clean()
  ->setAnnounce('https://example.com/announce')
  ->setAnnounceList([
    ['https://example.com/announce'],
    ['https://example1.com/announce']
  ])
  ->setSource('example.com')
  ->setPrivate(true);

// Note 2: parse method may fail when get a deep invalid torrent, so it can wrapper like this
try {
    $torrent = TorrentFile::load($_POST['torrent']['tmp_name']);
    $torrent/** ->setParseValidator(function () {}) */->parse();
} catch (ParseException $e) {
    // do something to notice user.
}
print($torrent->getFileCount()); // safe to use other method without any ParseException
