[SOLVED] Server Status Script

[TomBullock]

Hello everyone.

Im just in the middle of building my website and i need a script that shows my users if the radio server is online or offline.

Prefferable saying 'Online' in green when on, and 'Offline' in red when its off.

Ive honestly been looking for ages, i tried up to about page 15 of Google results, many forums,  and no luck at all.

Im hoping this is where i can finnally get this script 

Please can anyone help me?

 

Many thanks

Radio server?

 

<?php

//Get this from somewhere ??
$status = 

if($status == 'on') {
  echo '<p style="color: green;">Online</p>';
}
else if($status == 'off') {
  echo '<p style="color: red;">Offline</p>';
}
else {
  echo 'Some error...';
}
?>

 

If the above simple code wasn't what you were wanting help for you must post more detail about the "radio server", how you can communicate with it, what it runs ect.

[TomBullock]

Yes a radio server.

 

For the script you have given above, is there a second part to it that defines the i.p address and port of the radio server?

 

Many thanks

There is no standard script to check the status of a "radio server" because "radio server" is no standard thing / definition. I don't know what your radio server do.

 

That's the only tough part of this script. How to get the actual status of the server (cf. //Get this from somewhere? $status = ). Your server must run some software and since it has something to do with radio it maybe stream / broad cast stuff? That software need to have a build in function which tells the status of the server.

 

More info....

[TomBullock]

Ive just been informed that we've had a change of plan.

It is now a webserver that we want to show the status of.

The same applies as in 'Online' green, 'Offline' red.

The i.p address is 81.97.108.170 and the port number is 80.

 

If you need anymore info, please ask.

Well if the webserver is online it should be able to answer a http request, so all you need is to send a http request to the server and see if you get an answer. I'm no expert when it comes to this, but I guess you have to look into cURL.

Maybe something like these?

Yes, the same principal, but just a script where i can enter the i.p address and port number of my server into the script and when the server is online it says 'Online' in green and when it is offline is says 'Offline' in red.

 

Many thanks

<?php

  $server  = "127.0.0.1";
  $port   = "80";
  $timeout = "10";

  if ($server and $port and $timeout) {
    $verbinding =  @fsockopen("$server", $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);
  
  }
  if($verbinding) {
    echo "<img src='./images/on.gif'>Website is online<br>";
  }
  else {
    echo "<img src='./images/off.gif'>Website is offline<br>";
  }
fclose($verbinding);
?>

I hope you're going to close that socket

oppps fsockopen

<?php

  $server  = "127.0.0.1";
  $port   = "80";
  $timeout = "10";

  if ($server and $port and $timeout) {
    $verbinding =  @fsockopen("$server", $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);
  
  }
  if($verbinding) {
    echo "<img src='./images/on.gif'>Website is online<br>";
  }
  else {
    echo "<img src='./images/off.gif'>Website is offline<br>";
  }
fclose($verbinding);
?>

 

Yes that is exactly what im looking for except instead of having images to display the status, i need it to be text.

 

Many thanks

<?php

  $server  = "127.0.0.1";
  $port   = "80";
  $timeout = "10";

  if ($server and $port and $timeout) {
    $verbinding =  @fsockopen("$server", $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);
  
  }
  if($verbinding) {
    ?>
<font color="green">Online</font>
<?
  }
  else {
    ?>
<font color="red">Offline</font>

  }
fclose($verbinding);
?>
