get status of game server

[gnize]

Hello. Just wondering if someone could help me with this script.

 

What it does it get the status of a game server. Status shows players names score etc.

 

I'm running php version 5 (PHP version 5.2.6) and Apache version 1.3.41 (Unix)

 

<?PHP

 

    $open = fsockopen("udp://xz.sytes.net", 28960);

   

    socket_set_timeout($open, 1);

   

    fwrite($open, "\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFFgetstatus");

   

    $result = fread($open, 8192);

   

    echo $result;

   

    exit();

 

?>

 

Does my web host need to have that port open to recive the info?

 

When I run the php file from a web browser it shows a blank page.

 

Any help would be awesome. Please and thanks.

Your code looks a little haphazard. I don't exactly know which protocol or port for that matter you are using but try something more like this:

 

<?php

$open = @fsockopen( "xs.sytes.net", 28960, $no, $str, 5 ) or die( 'Connection Failed' );
fwrite( $open, "\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFFgetstatus\r\n" );
print fread( $open, 8192 );

?>

That helped a lot, thanks for the fast reply.

 

If I'm getting connection failed, what do you think is the cause of that? Fsock being disabled? Or the port closed?

Check the error message

I know Barand directed his post to gnize but I took the liberty of running the script and the error is a timeout. So A)The server is offline/does not exist or B)The port is not open on the server
