new Tor identity via php

[ozonew4m]

Does anybody know of a simple way to set a new tor identity from php?

at the moment i have to change identities manually using vidalia which is a royal pain in the ass..

Ive looked all over the internet for a solution but so far the only possible solution ive found is to do it via fsocks or telnet but trying to do this through php is proving difficult for me..

any pointers, help, divine intervention appreciated

can't you use curl and then set the proxy to the local ip with the correct control port?

I think the newer versions of Tor comes with a command that you can execute to get a new IP. But you need to be able to do shell commands.

Yes but it then sticks to the same tor proxy until you change the id manually

yes this is what im trying to do... I think you can connect to the tor listening control port from php using fsockopen i just dont know how to send:

/path/to/tor-ctrl -v -c "signal NEWNYM"

via php

just use exec('command line command'); or if you want and output exec('command',$output);

There's also a way to do it through fsockopen but I forget how. If I find the code I'll post it
