how to show online players by connected ports? Help pls

[sango]

alright guys..
i need a simple help here


right now, im hosting a gameserver, the players are connected on 5 different ports
i want to make a php script which shows how many players are online currently.

so, how to make the script which adds up all the players on the 5 ports?

ports are 1234 1235 1236 1237 1238

I would probably have it log a DB entry every time someone connects to the server and then read the count from the DB. Not sure if there is another way

this is from netstat -n cmd

218.212.16.144:55901   58.182.121.251:22938   ESTABLISHED
218.212.16.144:55901   121.6.38.32:1225       ESTABLISHED
218.212.16.144:55901   200.109.29.190:1805    ESTABLISHED
218.212.16.144:55901   201.252.106.219:3893   ESTABLISHED
218.212.16.144:55901   202.156.20.146:1773    ESTABLISHED
218.212.16.144:55901   202.156.44.183:1352    ESTABLISHED
218.212.16.144:55901   202.156.149.71:1572    ESTABLISHED
218.212.16.144:55901   202.156.173.239:1824   ESTABLISHED
218.212.16.144:55901   202.156.185.145:1110   ESTABLISHED
218.212.16.144:55901   218.186.153.117:1925   ESTABLISHED


for example there are 10 connections for port 55901

thus it will show 10 players are connected

i want to do this also for 5 different ports

You could pass a command to CMD like netstat -n | find "ESTABLISHED" then explode that apart and check if the local port is port 1234 and if it is increment a variable...

Not gonna come up with the code for you, but thats how you could do it...

You could try this, but I havent (can't) tested it.

[code]
<?php
  $ports = array('1234', '1235', '1236', '1237', '1238');
  $total = 0;
  foreach ($ports as $port) {
    $total += shell_exec("netstat | grep $port | wc -l");
  }
  echo $total;
?>
[/code]

Im also not sure how reliable that might be but it should give you the idea. Most of the work is done within the shell, not really php.
