[SOLVED] Server query

[regdude]

Hi!

I made a simple query for a server, JK3 btw, because couldn't find any queries and LGSL always crashed my apache server.

But there is a problem, I want to add the server monitor on a page, but the page wouldn't load if the server is down.

This I have to connect to the server, but since UDP is connectionless then this can't be used if server is up.

$fp = fsockopen("udp://ip", 29070, $errno, $errstr, 200);
if (!$fp) {
    echo "ERROR: $errno - $errstr<br />\n";
}

Also have this, but that doesn't seem to work.

if(fwrite($fp, $packet)) {
//...
}

How could I test if the server is up?

I'm not aware of what udp://ip is, but can't you check it against a page on your server? Say you have index.php on www.domain.com/index.php, then:

$fp = @fsockopen('www.domain.com/index.php', 80, $errno, $errstr, 10);
if (!$fp) echo 'Server is down';

 

Though, I like cURL more. Both should work though.

Doesn't seem to work either.

Actually, I think you should just test against the domain rather than the file. But I tested it myself and it works for me.

I think you misunderstood what I'm making.

The server I'm testing is not TCP (also not HTTP), but it is UDP.

Where did the edit button go?

Sorry about the double post then.

I figured out that I could simply set a timer, but this isn't Assembler where 2 proccesses are ran in background.

Luckily there is a function for a timer and already set for usage:

socket_set_timeout($fp, 2);
