Checking if a port is being used with fsockopen?

[gergy008]

Okay, I'm using fsockopen to see if a port is being used, But all it does it crashes the page if it isn't. If it is one it works but if it is off the pages just doesn't load at all.

 

Code:

<?php
$fp=fsockopen("localhost", 43594, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if($fp){
echo('The server is <font color="#0066FF"><b>Online!</b></font>');
} else {
echo('The server is <font color="#FF0000"><b>Offline!</b></font>');
}
?>

 

Can one of you amazing helpful souls help me out? Thanks in advance!

Hmm.. I would try adding this to the top:

 

ini_set('display_errors', 1);

 

Maybe it will tell you something useful.
