Basic VarnishAdmin usage

The example illustrates a simple usage of the ban functionality

Example #1 Ban an URL


<?php

$args = array(
    VARNISH_CONFIG_HOST    => "::1",
    VARNISH_CONFIG_PORT    => 6082,
    VARNISH_CONFIG_SECRET  => "5174826b-8595-4958-aa7a-0609632ad7ca",
    VARNISH_CONFIG_TIMEOUT => 300,
);

$va = new VarnishAdmin($args);

try {
    if(!$va->connect()) {
        throw new VarnishException("Connection failed\n");
    }   
} catch (VarnishException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
    exit(3);
}

try {
    if(!$va->auth()) {
        throw new VarnishException("Auth failed\n");
    }   
} catch (VarnishException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
    exit(3);
}

try {
    $status = $va->ban('req.url ~ "^/$"');
    if (VARNISH_STATUS_OK != $status) {
        throw new VarnishException("Ban method returned $status status\n");
    }
} catch (VarnishException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
    exit(3);
}

exit(0);

?>

This code worked for me with couple of changes after installing PECL.



Here is the updated code.



<?php



$args = array(

    VARNISH_CONFIG_HOST    => "127.0.0.1",

    VARNISH_CONFIG_PORT    => 6082,

    VARNISH_CONFIG_SECRET  => "5174826b-8595-4958-aa7a-0609632ad7ca",

    VARNISH_CONFIG_TIMEOUT => 300,

);



$va = new VarnishAdmin($args);



try {

    if(!$va->connect()) {

        throw new VarnishException("Connection failed\n");

    }   

} catch (VarnishException $e) {

    echo $e->getMessage();

    exit(3);

}



try {

    if(!$va->auth()) {

        throw new VarnishException("Auth failed\n");

    }   

} catch (VarnishException $e) {

    echo $e->getMessage();

    exit(3);

}



try {

    $status = $va->ban('req.url ~ "^/."');

    if (VARNISH_STATUS_OK != $status) {

        throw new VarnishException("Ban method returned $status status\n");

    }

} catch (VarnishException $e) {

    echo $e->getMessage();

    exit(3);

}



exit(0);



?>



Hope this helps.
