is the server online using php by Jarrod on 06-05-2008 at 08:53 AM
well i have a shoutcast server running on my pc it's all working with port fowarding and stuff but i want to use some php to test if the port is open or closed(running or shutdown)
using https://www.grc.com i have seen that their script does just what i want but i'm looking for some php to do something similar,
i found this
code:but even if the port is open and https://www.grc.com says it's open the php script says it closed can some one help?
<?
$ip = "http://247.212.233.220"; // IP Here
$port = 8000; // Port Here
if(fsockopen($ip, $port, $errno, $errstr, '10'))
echo "The server is <font color='green'>Online</font>!";
else
echo "The server is <font color='red'>Offline</font>!";
?>

Try this:
code:
<?
$ip = "http://247.212.233.220"; // IP Here
$port = 8000; // Port Here
if(fsockopen($ip, $port, $errno, $errstr, '10')) {
echo "The server is <font color='green'>Online</font>!";
} else {
echo "The server is <font color='red'>Offline</font>!<br/>";
echo "Returned error: ".$errstr." (code ".$errno.")";
}
?>

it doesn't seem to work,
one thing i may need to state is that my shoutcast server isn't hosting my php that's hosted somewhere else,
i think you gathered that MenthiX but just to be sure, well
how it when both times it returned the server was offline
with the http:// in front of the ip address it returned permission denied on the next line, with the http:// removed it returned Invalid argument
RE: is the server online using php by Eljay on 06-05-2008 at 09:50 AM
Well for a start the IP shouldn't contain the "http://" bit at the start 
Also, timeout shouldn't be in quotes, it's not a string.

I think the simpler answer here is that your ISP is blocking all external requests for open ports 
... I know my ISP does that.

More to the point, if that were the case you wouldn't be able to use the internet at all. All that script does is initiate a connection to the IP address, exactly how your browser would if you tried to visit a website.

is there a service like grc.com i could use and just return values from their page and show them in mine?

I think there was a bit of a misunderstanding. I thought the PHP script was running on his local PC and the shoutcast server elsewhere, not the other way around.
Anyway, if the shoutcast server is running on his computer, and he has the port forwarding set up and people are able to connect then there's no reason why the PHP script (which is running on his webhosting or something similar, right?) shouldn't be able to. It can be thought of as just another client.

that's why I thought there must be a problem with the script hope that means something to the people who know more about php than me, thanx
