moo.dll and PHP as Uptime solution?

[Anon]

I wish to use Moo.dll (http://www.influenced.net/moodll.php) to give the uptime of my Windows 2000 Server machine.

How do I go about doing that?

However, if there is a better way to get the uptime I would be very greatful.

Thanks in advance.

I found http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/ref.com.php but I have no idea whatsoever of how to use it.

I'd like to know as well cause I'd like to show my Linux, FreeBSD and Windows 2000 uptimes together on my server information page.

So far my Windows 2000 machine has been up longer than the Linux box. Go figure. hehe

I wanted to do this too. It's quite easy really. The moo.dll is a very long way to do it and if you only want the uptime it's a waste of CPU cycles.

The way I've done it is goto

http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/management/uptime/default.asp

and download uptime.exe. Then put it into your %SYSTEMROOT%/SYSTEM32 folder. One you've done that goto a command prompt and type uptime. That should give you the uptime. All working? Great.

Now, in a PHP script enter the following:

<?php
$result = exec("uptime");
echo("$result");
?>

Now run the file from your webserver and the uptime should be shown.

Neat huh? Good luck.
