Is it for an internal or external server?

 

[pocho_m]

it is for external servers... like.. cs servers... mu online servers... wow servers...etc

Please thanks for reading

 

[Chris Z]

why are you checking if external servers are up? skipping to the answer...i can see it being yes or no, but i'm not the admin, so we'll wait for corey

 

[pocho_m]

Chriz... Im doing it... because it is an "Online Games" database... where player can find servers... where they can play... so i check it... so they choose a server that they can play automatically...

Do You understandme?... See www.hopzone.net... this is a similar site

You've opened other thread in spanish forum. Decide which you want mantain.

But this is a webhosting, not a dedicated server

Why can you not use fsockopen()? Is it disabled? I don't believe it is, I may be wrong though..

I don't see why it would be, so if it is I'll take a look at it for you.

 

[Chris Z]

ok, i see why you need to use that, but i don't know what else to say about it, cuz i have no way of knowing if it's on or off

 

[Brandon]

Hmm dunno if you could but do you want to try another way of checking the ports?

Edit: I think its different.

uses fsocketopen , i never looked at it, oh well [said it might work]

 

[pocho_m]

i think... its the same function.. in an older PHP engine... coz... i googled it.. and nothing appears

 

[Bryon]

Argg! Why can't you use fsockopen!? I can help you out with it, I just need to know what is preventing you from using it.

 

[Brandon]

its working for me accually, as this checks the mysql on free server

Bryon:
It says this:

Warning: fsockopen() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/monchod1/public_html/muser_beta/miphp.php on line 4

I think this is coz its disabled

EDIT:

This IS the code of the function

fsockopen("190.30.81.254","80",$ERROR_NO,$ERROR_STR,(float)0.5)

It works on my local xampp server... so the code is well

 

[Brandon]

        function checkPort($serverip, $port){
            
            $ChechThePort = @fsockopen($serverip, $port, $errno, $errstr, 1);
                if (!$ChechThePort) {
                      $string = 'false';
                   }else{
                      $string = 'true';
                      @fclose($handle);
                   }
               return $string;
        
        }

Thats what I use.

 

[pocho_m]

the same thing... but in my site... its blocked.. it says for security reasons

 

[Bryon]

What server are you on?

 

[Brandon]
