How can fsockopen be utilized in PHP to communicate with an SSH tunnel on a specific port?

To communicate with an SSH tunnel on a specific port using fsockopen in PHP, you can establish a connection to the SSH tunnel by specifying the tunnel's host and port. Once the connection is established, you can send and receive data through the tunnel to interact with the remote server. 

$host = 'localhost'; // SSH tunnel host
$port = 22; // SSH tunnel port
$socket = fsockopen($host, $port);

if ($socket) {
    // Send data through the SSH tunnel
    fwrite($socket, "Hello SSH tunnel!");
    
    // Receive data from the SSH tunnel
    $response = fread($socket, 1024);
    
    // Close the connection
    fclose($socket);
} else {
    echo "Failed to connect to SSH tunnel";
}
