What is the game? Chances are there is a class readily available to query the game server and get that data.

There is none I've programmed it from scratch.

Ok so far this is what I have

 

<?php
// set the host
$host = ""; //yes I do know you put stuff in there
$port = ""; //same yea
// No Time Out
set_time_limit(0);
// create socket
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_IP) 
or die ("Could not create the Socket, or there are some problems with the database/server please try later or contact: 
webmaster@forbiddengates.com\n");
// bind socket to port
$result = socket_bind($socket, $host, $port) 
or die ("Could not create the Socket, or there are some problems with the database/server please try later or contact: 
webmaster@forbiddengates.com\n");
echo $_REQUEST["playername"];
echo $_REQUEST["gender"]; 
?>

 

But it tells me that this line

 

$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_IP) 

is wrong I don't know where it's wrong any help plz

Are you running this in a test environment or on a server hosted by a 3rd party? I found that the provider 1and1 does NOT support the socket functions after I transferred a site to them.
