Retrieve Game Server Information

[wignall6]

Hello,

I have just started out learning PHP and i wanted to know how i would make a script can connect to a game server and see if it is online or not and be able to retrieve the scores of the game.

A example of something like this are: http://gametracker.com and http://game-monitor.com

Thanks, Tom

[man]fsockopen/man and see if you're able to connect.

[man]fwrite/man the appropriate command(s) to get that information (after connecting using [man]fsockopen/man above, of course), [man]fread/man the data, and finally parse the data read into whatever format you desire.
