Server Status Check Script

[Shockdot]

Hello, I made a server statuc checking script that checks the status of a game server. It works fine on my computer, but when I upload it to my web host it stops working. I'm assuming my web host is blocking it in some way. My host is Yahoo Small Businesses. Does anyone know if they block this kind of thing, or if there is a way to unblock it? Perhaps editing the code?

 

Here is my code, if that helps.

<?php
function GetServerStatus($site, $port)
{
	$status = array("OFFLINE", "ONLINE");
	$fp = @fsockopen($site, $port, $errno, $errstr, 2);
	if(!$fp)
	{
		return $status[0];
	}
	else 
	{
		return $status[1];
	}
}
$Redemption = GetServerStatus("174.142.118.233", 11661);
$RedemptionPossible = GetServerStatus("174.142.118.234", 51665);

$Tranquility = GetServerStatus("174.142.118.234", 11601);
$TranquilityPossible = GetServerStatus("174.142.118.234", 51665);

$Nemesis = GetServerStatus("174.142.118.241", 11601);
$NemesisPossible = GetServerStatus("174.142.118.241", 64721);

$OverallServer = GetServerStatus("174.142.118.237", 11093);
$CodServer = GetServerStatus("8.9.6.122", 4230);
echo($CodServer . "<br />");
echo("Overall Server: " . $OverallServer . "<br />");
echo("Redemption: " . $Redemption . "<br />");
echo("Tranquility: " . $Tranquility . "<br />");
echo("Nemesis: " . $Nemesis . "<br />");
?>

confirmed that yahoo! has disabbled fsockopen()

maybe you could try to fopen() a file on the given server or use cURL?
