@fsockopen

[zurfaria]

Hey guys, so I've been working on some code to test if a server (Minecraft) is online or not. Code:

<?php

$ip = 'zurfaria.fmc.pw';
$port = 25565;

$checkSock = @fsockopen($ip, $port, $empty, $empty, 1);

if($checkSock !== FALSE)
{
echo 'Online';
}else{
echo 'Offline';
}

?>​

I troubleshooted this code when I found out it didn't work, and I was told that I needed to have sockets open. Is there any way I could do that (free plan)?

As far as I'm aware, on free hosting outcoming connections of ports such as what you're using would get blocked.

Thanks then I guess...
