How to check if remote access is enabled ?

[vipera7]

Detailed description

When I'm trying to connect to a remote transmission, I'm getting the following error:

<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>:  Uncaught Transmission\Exception\NetworkException: 403: Forbidden - Your IP Address is Not Whitelisted in /php-transmission-sdk/src/Exception/NetworkException.php:82
Stack trace:
#0 /php-transmission-sdk/src/HttpClient/Plugin/ExceptionThrower.php(44): Transmission\Exception\NetworkException::createByCode(403, '403: Forbidden ...')

#2 /php-transmission-sdk/src/HttpClient/Plugin/ExceptionThrower.php(48): Http\Client\Promise\HttpFulfilledPromise-&gt;then(Object(Closure))

Possible implementation

I tried something like that (but doesn't work):

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Transmission\Exception;

try{
    $transmission = new Transmission\Client($hostname, $port, $username, $password, $httpClientBuilder = null);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "err";
}

I also tried :

if($transmission = new Transmission\Client($hostname, $port, $username, $password, $httpClientBuilder = null)){
    echo "ok";
}else{
    echo "Remote access is diabled";
}

Thanks for any help

You can catch the Transmission\Exception\NetworkException instead of just the Exception in your try catch.

I did as you said but the issue is still the same :

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

try{
    $transmission = new Transmission\Client($hostname, $port, $username, $password, $httpClientBuilder = null);
} catch (Transmission\Exception\NetworkException $e) {
    echo "Remote access is diabled";
}

What is the error?

@irazasyed I'm still getting :

<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>:  Uncaught Transmission\Exception\NetworkException: 403: Forbidden - Your IP Address is Not Whitelisted in /php-transmission-sdk/src/Exception/NetworkException.php:82

I made the error (403) for testing purpose.

I also tried with the backslash :

try{
    $transmission = new Transmission\Client($hostname, $port, $username, $password, $httpClientBuilder = null);
} catch (\Transmission\Exception\NetworkException $e) {
    $result = array("Error" => "Remote access is disabled");
}

PHP 7.3.11

~I just realized it's a fatal error and you can't catch fatal errors in PHP since it stops the execution of the script. There are workarounds like registering your custom handler in shutdown or log, etc. but otherwise there is no way.~

~You should make sure you have remote access.~

Nevermind, I just tested this code and it works fine for me (I'm able to catch the exception).

<?php

require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

use Transmission\Client;
use Transmission\Exception\NetworkException;

$hostname = '127.0.0.1';
$port = 9091;
$username = 'username';
$password = 'password';

try{
    $transmission = new Client($hostname, $port, $username, $password);

    $result = $transmission->get(); // Get All Torrents.

    var_dump($result);
} catch (NetworkException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

Also, in addition to that. In PHP 7 onwards, you can use \Throwable to catch such kinda errors too. So if it still fails for whatever reasons, try that instead. Hope that helps!
