README

This is a PHP client for the ClamAV virus scanner.

Features

• ????️ Uses clamd for scanning.
• ???? Supports scanning of files and directories.
• ???? Supports scanning of streams.
• ???? Supports of TCP and Unix sockets.
• ✨ Supports nearly all the methods provided by the clamd daemon. (e.g. PING, VERSION, SCAN, CONTSCAN, INSTREAM, RELOAD, SHUTDOWN)

Requirements

• A ClamAV clamd daemon running with either TCP or Unix socket enabled.
• PHP 8.0 or higher with the sockets extension enabled.

You can easily run a ClamAV clamd daemon using the official Docker image. More information can be found here.

⚠️ This repository contains a docker-compose.yml file that you can use to run a ClamAV clamd daemon for testing purposes; but it is not recommended to use it in production.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require adriengras/php-clamav

Usage

First, you'll need an instance of the client:

<?php use AdrienGras\PhpClamAV\ClamAV; # with a TCP socket $client = new ClamAV::fromDSN('tcp://localhost:3310'); # or with host and port $client = new ClamAV::fromParts('localhost', '3310'); # or with a Unix socket $client = new ClamAV::fromDSN('unix:///var/run/clamav/clamd.sock');

Then, you can use nearly all the methods provided by the clamd daemon:

<?php # Ping the daemon, returns true if the daemon is alive, false otherwise $isPingable = $client->ping(); # Get the ClamAV version $version = $client->version(); # Reload the database $client->reload(); # Scan a file, returns true if the file is clean, false otherwise $result = $client->scan('/path/to/file.txt'); # Scan a directory, returns true if all the files are clean, false otherwise $infectedFiles = $client->scan('/path/to/directory'); # Scan a stream, returns true if the stream is clean, false otherwise # You can either pass a resource or a string. If you pass a string, the method will create a temporary stream. $stream = fopen('/path/to/file.txt', 'r'); $result = $client->scanInStream($stream); # or $fileToStream = '/path/to/file.txt'; $result = $client->scanInStream($fileToStream); # Scan and continue if a virus is found. # The method will return an array of infected files, or an empty array if no virus is found. $result = $client->continueScan('/path/to/directory'); # Shutdown the daemon $client->shutdown();

Testing

You can run the tests using the following commands:

docker compose up -d # wait until the clamav container is up (use docker compose logs clamav to check) ./vendor/bin/phpunit
