Easy way to send notification on iPhone in php

Notification on iPhone:

This is very easy & effective way in php to send a notification on your iPhone.

For this you will be in need of three things.

1. Your iPhone's device token
2. .pem file for iPhone
3. Its passphrase.

For tihs use the following code.

        $deviceToken = 'enter_your_device_token';
        $passphrase = 'enter_your_passphrase';
        $message = 'enter_your_notification_message';

        $badge = 1;
        $ctx = stream_context_create();
        stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'local_cert', 'path_to_pem_file.pem');
        stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'passphrase', $passphrase);

        // Open a connection to the APNS server
        $fp = stream_socket_client(
            'ssl://gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195', $err,
            $errstr, 60, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT | STREAM_CLIENT_PERSISTENT, $ctx);
        if (!$fp)
            exit("Failed to connect: $err $errstr" . PHP_EOL);
        echo 'Connected to APNS' . PHP_EOL;

        // Create the payload body
        $body['aps'] = array(
            'alert' => $message,
            'badge' => $badge,
            'sound' => 'newMessage.wav'
        );

        // Encode the payload as JSON
        $payload = json_encode($body);

        // Build the binary notification
        $msg = chr(0) . pack('n', 32) . pack('H*', $deviceToken) . pack('n', strlen($payload)) . $payload;

        // Send it to the server
        $result = fwrite($fp, $msg, strlen($msg));

        if (!$result)
            echo 'Error, notification not sent' . PHP_EOL;
        else
            echo 'notification sent!' . PHP_EOL;

        // Close the connection to the server
        fclose($fp);

Thanks.
