Can anyone help a newbie....
I am running a hotline tracker server, on port 5498 - i have some activeX components for visual basic to allow me to connect to the tracker, and recieve a list of the servers currently connected to it, and also allows me to get info on each of the server's names, ip addresses, ports they're running on, descriptions etc...
Is there anyone who knows how to do this sort of thing in PHP, or at least, someone who knows how to connect to a server on a certain port, and retrieve any information from it...
I have tried the fsockopen command to connect to that port on the server, yet fgets seems not to retrieve any information.... obviously im doing it all wrong.
if a coder out there knows the answer to my problem, please please please help me out!
many many thanks etc....
