php-eth-raw-tx

PHP tool to create Ethereum raw transaction

Pre-requisite

secp256k1-php

You need secp256k1-php. Which itself needs secp256k1 to be installed on your system.

Last tests were run using the following versions :

• secp256k1-lastest
• secp256k1-php-0.1.2

You will need gcc, libtool, make, automake , which is standard package you can grab from apt, yum, brew...

First install secp256k1

$> curl -L0k https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/archive/master.zip > secp256k1-latest.zip
$> unzip secp256k1-latest.zip
$> cd secp256k1-master
$> ./autogen.sh
$> ./configure --enable-experimental --enable-module-{ecdh,recovery}
$> make
$> sudo make install
$>

Then secp256k1-php v0.1.2.

Updating this section with fix for issue #35. I have added SED to make extension compatible with latest secp256k1 library

$> curl -L0k https://github.com/Bit-Wasp/secp256k1-php/archive/v0.1.2.zip > secp256k1-php-0.1.2.zip
$> unzip secp256k1-php-0.1.2.zip
$> cd secp256k1-php-0.1.2/secp256k1
$> sed -i 's/secp256k1_ecdh(ctx, resultChars, pubkey, privKey->val);/secp256k1_ecdh(ctx, resultChars, pubkey, privKey->val, NULL, NULL);/' secp256k1.c
$> phpize
$> ./configure --with-secp256k1
$> make
$> sudo make install
$>

Finally add extension to you php.ini file

extension=secp256k1.so

Examples

You may run examples in examples folder.

Creating a raw transaction

$tx = new \EthereumRawTx\Transaction(
    \BitWasp\Buffertools\Buffer::hex('d44d259015b61a5fe5027221239d840d92583adb'),
    \BitWasp\Buffertools\Buffer::int(5 * 10**18),
);

$raw = $tx->getRaw(\BitWasp\Buffertools\Buffer::hex(MY_PRIVATE_KEY));

Demo :

Explore examples folder for demos. Some are meant to generate a whole signed tx to write the blockchain. They can be broadcasted using eth_sendRawTransaction using JSON-RPC. Some others aim to read the blockchain and generated data should simply be send using eth_call using JSON-RPC. Some are simply utility reading tools. Unfortunately some features may not be demonstrated yet. Do not hesitate to contribute.

• call_smart_contract : Generate a raw data to read a Smart Contract.
• check_signature : Tool to recover the signer address of a transaction.
• decode_smart_contract_event_reponse : Tool to decode events from a eth_getTransactionByHash call.
• decode_smart_contract_reponse : Tool to read an eth_call response.
• decode_tx_params : Tool to decode a data field from a transaction.
• deploy_smart_contract : Generate a signed raw transaction for deploying a new Smart Contract.
• event_smart_contract : Tool to get an event hash.
• send_ether : Generate a signed raw transaction for sending ETH .
• send_smart_contract : Generate a signed raw transaction for writing on a Smart Contract function.
