PHP Script: Ping Online/Offline

Posted by Akensai on May 15, 2012 in Tutorials and has 12 replies.

A few days ago I came across a need to have a script to ping an IP:Port to see if a list of machines where online or offline. The basis for this was for a list of about 60 dedicated servers that I wanted to be able to load a page to see if any where down. After a few hours of research I came up with the following which will ping an IP and Port then change the text color to represent online or offline.

The script is very simple:

For those of you unaware of how PHP works, the script will actually mask your IP:Port that is queried, so no worries on someone finding the open port!

This can be used for just about anything, not just web. I use it to monitor a few FTP servers (port 21) and another for a couple of game servers. The possibilities are pretty much endless.

  You can simply paste the script in a .php multiple times changing the ip/port where needed. Some will complain that it’s not very “professional” but since it’s fsock the results of being all in one script and being pasted over multiple times is the same since it will have to connect each time the page is loaded anyways. I wouldn’t suggest having more than 10 or so on a single page.
  
  Best bet would be to create separate .php files for each one and iframe them to your main list so they each load independently, otherwise more than 5-6 on a single page may take some load time.

Don’t know if you will answer but i’m quite new to php. Would there be a way to put the result into some sort of variable so you can just call $status or something?
