Shoutbox

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:

---

<?
$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>!";
?>

---

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?

What does $errstr say?

i don't know how it works here is the link though and i'll put the server up until 9:00pm AEST

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

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.

didn't fix anything

are you sure you have:

code:

---

<?
$ip = "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.")";
}
?>

because i just tested it on my localhost and it says that its online =\

NF
The server is Offline!
Returned error: Invalid argument (code 22)

i'm looking at felu's now but me being less knowledgeable than every1 elses it might take a while
