[SOLVED] Remove error text or anti error check.

[Mastha-Hacker]

Hi guys,

 

I have a function who has to check if a server is online. There is one problem. If the server is not online, I get this error..:

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to 172.31.1.205:80 (Operation timed out) in /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/Periode II/functions/functions.php on line 17

 

I don't want that piece of text.

 

Here is my function, who checkes the availabilty of the server:

// Functions.php     line 14 to 28
// Function to check response time
function pingDomain($domain){
    $starttime = microtime(true);
    $file      = fsockopen ($domain, 80, $errno, $errstr, 10);
    $stoptime  = microtime(true);
    $status    = 0;

if (!$file) $status = -1;  // Site is down
    else {
        fclose($file);
        $status = ($stoptime - $starttime) * 1000;
        $status = floor($status);
    }
    return $status;
}

 

Here is my piece of code, who uses the function, and who checks the value:

 

// invoeren.php     line 25 to 29
pingDomain($host);
if($status = -1) {
	print "The host is currently not available!";
	return '';
} else {

 

EDIT: What I want is that I check if the server is available, and if not, he has nothing to fill out. If the server is available then the code fills out a form.

 

Thanks!

On a live server, the display_errors setting should be OFF, which would prevent the display of errors.

Is there a way in the code itselfs too?? Because the script is not for me alone... And I like it more, if there comes no error...

You can use the output buffer methods (ob_start) or choose to add an @ sign to suppress the errors that may come from fsockopen. The output buffer method is shown below, which is better not sure...

 

function pingDomain($domain){
    $starttime = microtime(true);
    ob_start();
    $file      = fsockopen ($domain, 80, $errno, $errstr, 10);
    $message = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean(); // clean the output to avoid the warning being displayed.

    // if operation timed out is found, a timeout was reached, set $file to false
    if (stristr($message, "operation timed out") !== false) 
        $file = false;

    $stoptime  = microtime(true);
    $status    = 0;
   
   if (!$file) $status = -1;  // Site is down
    else {
        fclose($file);
        $status = ($stoptime - $starttime) * 1000;
        $status = floor($status);
    }
    return $status;
}

 

EDIT:

Fixed the stristr function to pass the right parameters in the correct order.

go with the @ sign hide that error:

 

// Functions.php     line 14 to 28
// Function to check response time
function pingDomain($domain){
    $starttime = microtime(true);
    $file      = @fsockopen ($domain, 80, $errno, $errstr, 10);
    $stoptime  = microtime(true);
    $status    = 0;
   
   if (!$file) $status = -1;  // Site is down
    else {
        fclose($file);
        $status = ($stoptime - $starttime) * 1000;
        $status = floor($status);
    }
    return $status;
}

Thanks alot! I've used this one instead of the other one. It works, and has a nice timeout..
