Server Status Checker Help :(

[Username:]

I'm making a server status checker for a game, and it mostly works. But, it always displays as offline. Here is my code.

 

<?php	
     $status = GetServerStatus('24.68.198.193',43594); // IP or Hostname Goes Here
     function GetServerStatus($site, $port) {
          $fp = @fsockopen($site, $port, $errno, $errstr, 2);
          if (!$fp) { 
               $imagepath="off.png"; //OFFLINE IMAGE LINK!
               $image=imagecreatefrompng($imagepath);
               header('Content-Type: image/png');
               imagepng($image);
          } else { //ONLINE Status
               $imagepath="on.png"; //ONLINE IMAGE LINK!
               $image=imagecreatefrompng($imagepath);
               header('Content-Type: image/png');
               imagepng($image);
          }
     }
?>

 

 

I made sure 43594 port was open and that the IP was correct

Thanks in advance!

You need to call the function after you define it.

Can you give me an example to this? I'm still not really there for PHP.

Just move the call to your function under the actual function:

 

<?php
     function GetServerStatus($site, $port) {
          $fp = @fsockopen($site, $port, $errno, $errstr, 2);
          if (!$fp) { 
               $imagepath="off.png"; //OFFLINE IMAGE LINK!
               $image=imagecreatefrompng($imagepath);
               header('Content-Type: image/png');
               imagepng($image);
          } else { //ONLINE Status
               $imagepath="on.png"; //ONLINE IMAGE LINK!
               $image=imagecreatefrompng($imagepath);
               header('Content-Type: image/png');
               imagepng($image);
          }
     }
     $status = GetServerStatus('24.68.198.193',43594); // IP or Hostname Goes Here
?>

I'm doing my best not to come off as stupid, but this code still doesn't work and I think this may be to my host using a firewall.

 

...Or me being tired.

I moved to a different host and now it only displays as online....

Remove the "@" before the fsockopen call and see if it's generating any errors.

"The image “http://statuschecker.comule.com/status.php” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors."

And again, it displays, ONLY online again.

 

EDIT:

I changed the permissions to 777 and now it only displays "Online"
