Online Display Script

[Bigman]

Is there any way of creating a small script that works similar to ICQ, i.e when the page or script is activated it checks to see if the ts server is online if it is it displays a small online image (green light) if not then displays a red light, or something similar.



Any help appreciated.

I'm sure this can be done with some php script, but what are you trying to use this on? a website I'm guessing? It would be fairly simple script, and I could get our scripter to write one, but right now I'm giving him the job of getting the info of who is online instead of it the server is online, or I might ask another site that I saw that on if I could borrow thiers...blah...blah...blah...

I would like it really just for a standard php page really.

Cheers

I'll see what we can do, but if anyone else wants to try to do this, go for it.

i have something for you. it's primitive, but works.
you might need to change some values for your own server, but it should be a good start:

PHP Code:

:p 


did you notice the biiiig fscanf call? i figured out the first number is the player id and the last string is the player name.
if you figure out the meanings of the other values i'd be happy if you would share that information.

Nice work on the script. However, it times out for me. I'll keep playing around and see what's up with it.

1.) the script uses default ports so make sure port 51234 tcp is accessible
2.) the script assumes the teamspeak server is running on the same maching as the webserver. change "localhost" to your teamspeak server's address if necessary
3.) i'm running apache 1.3.27 with php 4.3.0, tss2 and apache run on the same physical machine. the script works for me. see for yourself, i have integrated it into my clan's message board -> http://www.the-rip.de/wbboard

Yeah i got the timeout fixed.

It errors out on the first sendQuery. Almost like its not finding the right response. I'll keep digging though.

I'm running it on the same server as TS & web. I'm running Win2k Server with IIS. PHP 4.3.0.

[Brain]

PHP Code:

if(getResults($socket) != "OK\n") { 


i assume it is this line that causes the timeout. hmmm... windoze you say.... maybe it's another case of line break problems
try OK\r\n instead of OK\n, maybe it helps

or you can just telnet to localhost:51234 and test it yourself

No it wasn't that line timing out. It was the initial connection. Got that fixed.

I'll try the OK\r\n and see if that works. Thanks.

Got it.

For windows it does have to the \r

Thanks....

I get this error on Linux with php 4.2.2

Internal server error! Cause unknown.

PHP Code:

// select the one and only running server on port 8767
    sendQuery($socket, "sel 8767");
    if(getResults($socket) != "OK\n") {
        echo("Internal server error! Cause unknown.");
        exit;
    }// end if 


Dont know why

Did you try adding the \r? Immediately after the OK.

PHP Code:

 // select the one and only running server on port 8767
    sendQuery($socket, "sel 8767");
    if(getResults($socket) != "OK\r\n") {
        echo("Internal server error! Cause unknown.");
        exit;
    }// end if 


That's just a generic error as this script has no error handling. Also you may want to switch to PHP 4.3.0.

[Brain]

php before 4.3.0 needs two parameters in the fgets function. -> http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fgets.php

i'm using php 4.3.0 on a linux webserver with linux tss2. ymmv.
