why is this server status code not working?

God_Ownz

hello, i am currently making a server status page for these private servers of this game. i have a PERFECT code thats got everything i need:

<?php


$live = "http://i44.tinypic.com/352fzow.png";
$dead = "http://i40.tinypic.com/15foej8.png";

$link = $_GET['link'].":";
$s_link = str_replace("::", ":", $link);
list($addr,$port)= explode (':',"$s_link");
if (empty($port)){
	$port = 43594;
}
//Test the server connection
$churl = @fsockopen(server($addr), $port, $errno, $errstr, 20);
             if (!$churl){
			 //echo $errstr;
                header("Location: $dead");
                }
             else {
             	  header("Location: $live");             

		  }
function server($addr){
         if(strstr($addr,"/")){$addr = substr($addr, 0, strpos($addr, "/"));}
         return $addr;
}
?>

so yeh thats that then theres a test html code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Web Server Status</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
  <tr> 
    <td width="23%"><img src="status.php?link=lightscape2.no-ip.org" width="370" height="200"></td>
  </tr>
</body>
</html>

yeh so thats that but..... it always says its offline?!?!?!?!? and i know for a FACT its online BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN ON IT AST SAME TIME!

this code is perfect for what i want it for because it has a php image (E.G. http://mysite.com/status.php?link=lightscape2.no-ip.org)
that will open the image through the php code so it can be added to a forum, site, ect.....

so if any one knows how to fix or how to make another one that openes the image through PHP then please post here. THANKS

well i put something about the port to check... look

    $port = 43594;

is that right and if not can you tell me how to do it.

Well to start with, how much PHP do you know? I can't help but ask this, because you say you're having problems, yet this line:

$churl = @fsockopen(server($addr), $port, $errno, $errstr, 20);

uses the '@' error-suppressor (something I don't see any reason for, neither in a production environment nor a development environment) to hide any error messages PHP might be producing to help you diagnose the problem.
