[PHP]Server Status

[lmame]

Ok it's not really complicated indeed
Though some prefer to use a Cron system to ping their servers every now and then (like every minute) and so the php file only fetchs the result. It avoids a lot of socket "requests" on the server and the answer of the php query is immediate so it does not slow down your website display.
Downside is that you have the servers state from one minute ago, a pro is that with this you can have your website on a server and your osRose servers on another (the other way too in fact ).

You can't go lower than 1 second.

The timeout val in fsockopen is a float, so you can go lower than 1 second

Good script, It works cause it knows that it actually works ( 127.0.0.1:80 xD )

if you need a personal image for online/offline status post in this topic.

Not that it would be bad? It is cool when you have up to date server information, but some data like your server, doesn't require a check every page view. One every 5 minutes is good enough. And mostly when the server 'hangs' the checking of the server doesn't work. Because the script 'sees' the sever running, and it assumes it is working so it shows ONLINE, but in fact it is down only the Task End windows blocks the restarter from restarting again.

Yes and no I guess both methods has pors and cons.
For my server I made a program under Windows that does several checks and generate several PHP files and accesed with Curl from other scripts files
It sends also automatically by email stats and alarms.

Dude that's some hardcore coding for a simple status checker xD

I knocked up a little script for those who're interested in knowing how it works using GD

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

1. <?php
2. $host = false;
3. $timeout = 1;
4.  
5. if ( isset($_GET["link"]) && isset($_GET["port"]))
6. {
7.     extract($_GET);
8.     $arr = explode('.', $link);
9.     if ( count($arr) != 4 && !is_numeric($arr[0]) )
10.         $host = true;
11.    
12.     if ( $host )
13.         $ip = gethostbyname($link);
14.     else
15.         $ip = $_GET["link"];
16.        
17.     header('Content-Type: image/png');
18.     $im = imagecreate(50, 15);
19.     imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
20.     $green = imagecolorallocate($im, 100, 200, 100);
21.     $red = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 0, 0);
22.    
23.     if ( ( $sock = @fsockopen($ip, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout) ) !== FALSE )
24.         imagestring($im, 3, 0, 0, "Online", $green);
25.     else
26.         imagestring($im, 3, 0, 0, "Offline", $red);
27.        
28.     imagepng($im);
29.     imagedestroy($im);
30. }
31. else
32. {
33.     die("piss off");
34. }
35. ?>

Kept it simple though 'cause I gotta run now, tomorrow's gonna be a tough day

Don't forget to mention that the users who are going to use that script need the gdb library installed.

In fact it's my job, I made a lot of those bots or client / servers so it was pretty fast to do this one and I had my reasons, mostly I didn't want to check on servers, this thing does it for me, it handles stuff like exceptions errors, ms c++ dll warning (exceptions and so on), make some hacks checks / repairs and so on

the only thing I didn't do on this one is text messaging I could as I already wrote some but I thought it would be a bit too much

I got attracted by the name of the topic.

Maybe you could make a SIMPLE one so we can implement in our own website and we know how to make it then, that would be nice.

And about the 1 sec request.. If it is a home-hosted server and he has to wait more then 1 second because (bad pc, bad host internet, too many users) etc etc.. then you get wrong answer?
