push Notification, php error and warnings - ios

Question

I know there are many questions for this but I have tried doing all the suggestions with no luck, I have the below error when running my push.php in shell command., I am following this tutorial and everything worked untill the php. i recreated the certificates and keys many many times and since it's letting me connect using openssh then i guess the problem is not with it. today i have again recreated all the certificates and did a new project now I don't even receive the first prompt of do you accept to allow push notification in this app. I am stuck I am on a deadline and was facing this problem for week, please help me, my php is exact same file as the tutorial with modified token and passcode I have added the path to ck.pem as was suggested by some of the S.O.answers but not working yet.also I have added CA file entrust_2048_ca.cer , it didn't help resolving the issue. and all this is using development certificate and not yet on a server, what might be the issues your ideas? is using external library will be better ?
Thank you for your help in advance.

Try This Code :
<?php
$deviceToken='ac49c9c8a7d7f3401c5c9af8b8afeadaee7cdb77051f12e890c314e11y8u89i9o0lp';
$passphrase = '1234';
$message = 'push msg!';
$ctx = stream_context_create();
stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'local_cert', 'ck.pem');
stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'passphrase', $passphrase);
$fp = stream_socket_client(
'ssl://gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195', $err, $errstr, 60, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT | STREAM_CLIENT_PERSISTENT, $ctx);
if (!$fp)
exit("Failed to connect: $err $errstr" . PHP_EOL);
//echo 'Connected to APNS' . PHP_EOL;
// Create the payload body
$body['aps'] = array(
'alert' => $message,
'sound' => 'default'
);
// Encode the payload as JSON
$payload = json_encode($body);
// Build the binary notification
$msg = chr(0) . pack('n', 32) . pack('H*', $deviceToken) . pack('n', strlen($payload)) . $payload;
// Send it to the server
$result = fwrite($fp, $msg, strlen($msg));
if (!$result)
return 'Message not delivered' . PHP_EOL;
// Close the connection to the server
fclose($fp);
?>
IMP: Put your ck.pem file parallel to this code.
Once your code works you can change the position of your .pem file.
Make Sure the certificate you created is in "Developer" Mode
Also, the device is added to the provisioning profile.
