[winmastergames]

hi i made a script it checks if a webserver is online if it is i want it to echo a link that there click on to redirect to another site but its not working heres the script

 

<?php
function prepWWW($url) {
  $replace = array("http://" => "", "www." => "");
  foreach($replace as $toReplace=>$replaceWith) {
    $url = str_replace($toReplace, $replaceWith, $url);
  }
  $parts = explode("/", $url);
  $newURL = strip_tags(addslashes($parts[0]));
  return $newURL;
}

$site = prepWWW("winmastergames.com");
$check = @fsockopen($site, 80);

if($check) {
  echo "<a href="index.htm">ENTER INDEX</a>";
} else {
  echo "<a href="backup.htm">ENTER BACKUP</a>";
}
?>

 

WHAT is wrong

1. Give us an error.

2. You need to escape the links.

 

echo "<a href=\"link\">ENTER here</a>";

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in C:\xampp\htdocs\online.php on line 16

also its customairy to display what line it is if you have an line number error i.e

 

error on line 16  it sucked

line 16 is:  echo "asdf";

The answer to your question is most likely the following :

 

Your host has disabled the fsockopen function in the PHP.ini file, and too rightly too. Imagine what happens when lots of amateur programmers start creating sockets and not closing them...

oh thats really annoying does anyone know a free host that will have it open?
