fsockopen problem

[ptbsG_Man]

I ma having the hardest time getting this working right

i have a script that shows the status of a game server and well it works but only if he server is online otherwise the script times out i have tried tons of stuff but please post it any ways cause i might have done it wrong.

well here the code

	function parseServerstatHL()
	{ 
		$fp = fsockopen("udp://" .$this->caddress, $this->cport, $errno, $errstr, 2);
		if (!$fp) 
		{ 
			//unable to connect to host
			$this->serverinfo["name"] = "<font color=\"#FF0000\">$this->caddress</font>";
			$this->serverinfo["address"] = $this->caddress;
			$this->addError("parseServerstatHL() had an error connecting to " . $this->caddress . ":" . $this->cport . "($errno - $errstr)");
		} 
		else 
		{ 
			fwrite($fp,$this->commands[$this->cgametype]["Serverinfo"]);
			// Get rid of the header
			$header = fread($fp,5);

		// Get server address and Port
		$do = true; 
		$result = "";
		while($do) 
		{ 
			$str = fread($fp,1);
			$result .= $str;
			if ($str == "\x00") $do = false;
		}
		$this->serverinfo["address"] = $result;
........

Thank you in asvanced

Maybe try putting the whole connect line in the if statement like

<?
if($fp=fsockopen("udp://" .$this->caddress, $this->cport, $errno, $errstr, 2)) {
//the the stuff
}
?>

Hope this helps

nope that dosent work

You could try buildin the socket in stages but I'm not sure about this (not too good on TCP/IP)

<?
$socket=socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if($socket<0) {
  echo("Error, failed to make socket".strerror($socket));
}

$conn=connect($socket,$serverIP,$serverPort);
if($conn<0) {
  echo("Error, failed to connect".strerror($conn));
}

?>

Now use $conn just like $fp
Hope this helps

PS. You could try taking a look at php.net with regards to the more low level socket functions

hey thanks for the ideas but that dosent work either but it did do something odd it looked as if it ran it once because it shoed the first server but had the error "Call to undefined function: socket() "

socket_create instead of socket

[ptbsG_Man]

nope same error ony with socket_create()

i did chane it around because i didnt want to change all my $fp's to $conns's

		$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
		if($socket < 0) {
		  echo("Error, failed to make socket".strerror($socket));
		}
		$fp = connect($socket,$this->caddress,$this->cport);
		if($conn < 0) {
		  echo("Error, failed to connect".strerror($fp));
		}
		else 
		{ 
			fwrite($fp,$this->commands[$this->cgametype]["Serverinfo"]);
			// Get rid of the header
			$header = fread($fp,5);
