Want to connect Phpseclib/SSH Tunnel connect MYSQL server

I want to connect to my remote Mysql server through port forwarding. Unfortunately Hostso.com my hosting provider don’t have php_ssh2 installed on the server so I have to work through phpseclib library. So far I am able to do:

  1. Connect to server using Net_SSH2

$ssh = new Net_SSH2(‘xx.xxx.xx.xx’);
if (!$ssh->login(‘user’, ‘password’)) {
exit(‘Login Failed’);
}

If I do

echo $ssh->exec(‘ls -la’);it fetches directory listing telling we are connected successfully.

if I run

  1. echo $ssh->exec(‘echo “select * from table where company_id=\“15\”;” | mysql’);It triggers:
    stdin: is not a tty ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘user’@‘localhost’ (using password: NO)

  2. If I do
    echo $ssh->exec(‘ssh -f -L 3307:localhost:3306 root@xx.xxx.xxx.xxx sleep 60 >> logfile’);It run forever and then resulting in no response error from the server.

Please help me to resolve this issue or else I am thinking to switch to HostMonster.com or Waxspace.com or Dollar2host.com … Please I need your support. I am in trouble.

echo $ssh->exec('echo "select * from table where company_id=\\"15\\";" | mysql');

Try this instead:

echo $ssh->exec('echo "select * from table where company_id=\\"15\\";" | mysql -u username --p=password');

That of course assumes that the SQL server is on localhost and on port 3306.

echo $ssh->exec('ssh -f -L 3307:localhost:3306 root@xx.xxx.xxx.xxx sleep 60 >> logfile');

You’d probably need to do nohup or & or some combination thereof. Also you might have better luck with $ssh->write() / $ssh->read() from phpseclib:

Its working flwalessly now, my ronald from waxspace helped me to work on it. Nonetheless thank you for solution.
