telnet

[mark v.]

I am trying to write a script to take some info from a few variables
and use that info to telnet to a device and run a few commands, then
pipe the output to a file and name it. This would be placed into a
loop and run a number of times producing a number of files. I have not
been able to see if php can facilitate this. Can someone tell me how
they would go about this?

You can simply open a socket to the server using fsockopen() and then
you can work with the socket just as if it was a file. You will have to
wait for it to request the username, enter it, password, enter it, then
you can send your commands.
