Vibe Streamer up Status display

Anyone found a way to display the up or done status of the streamer. I run a link from one web site to the vibestreamer url, next to the link I would like a green or red "led" to show whether or not the service is up or not.. I will continue to browse around, if I figure something out I will post it here..

thanks in advance.

PHP coudl do it easy. Ill whip up a script tomorrow.

thanks,, thats what im workin on, but just learning php.. was hoping this would work

[code1odgpqui]
echo "<table border='0' align=center width='140' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='1' bordercolor='' style='border: 1 solid #DADADA'>

<td width='16'><img src='images/vibe-logo.jpg' title='Streamer'></td>";

$hostname = "www.2into-music.homedns.org";

echo "<td width='16'><img src='image.php?host=$hostname&port=8081'></td>";
[/code1odgpqui]

along with this

[code1odgpqui]
error_reporting(0);

header("Content-type: image/gif");


$fp = fsockopen($host, $port,$errno,$errstr, 4);
if (!$fp){
readfile('offline.gif');
} else {
readfile('online.gif');
fclose($fp);
}

[/code1odgpqui]

but that doesnt work.. says port is closed.. which it might be, might only open when someone connects to it. I just dont think "fsockopen" will work

Got it... I will work some more with it and post the final code, I think it might be usefull for everyone..maybe

[codewa6p7tjh]
<?
error_reporting(0); //Turns off the stupid error messege generated when the port is found to be closed.
$address ="2into-music.homedns.org"; //Here you can specify the address you want to check ports
$port = "8081"; //Here you can specify the port you want to check from $address
$checkport = fsockopen($address, $port, $errno, $errstr, 2); //The 2 is the time of ping in secs

//Here down you can put what to do when the port is closed
if(!$checkport){
echo "2into-music is currently down, please come back later."; //Only will echo that msg
}else{

//And here, what you want to do when the port is open
echo "2into-Music is currently available."; //The msg echoed if port is open
}
?>
[/codewa6p7tjh]

Ok I created a .rar with the code and images and a read me for anyone who would like to use this.

[url2k3njhgr]http://www.2into-design.com/mycodes/status.rar[/url2k3njhgr]

Heres my soloution

[code2g55ee97]<?php

////////// EDIT HERE ///////////

$host = ''; //Put your IP address or Domain Name here.
$port = '8081'; //Put the port Vibe is running off here.
$timeout = 2; //Timeout in seconds to ping the service.


////////// STOP EDITING ///////////

$img = array(
'on'=>

$online = @fsockopen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);

$status = ($online ? $img['on'] : $img['off']);

header("Content-type: image/gif");
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");

echo base64_decode($status);

?>

No need to have images its built in.

To use it use this code

[code2g55ee97]<IMG SRC="http://LOCATION TO SCRIPT/SCRIPTNAME.php">[/code2g55ee97]

Thats it.

very nice.... like i said im just learning

Why you cryt the code?

U can build in backdoors.

What do you mean?? I dont think you knwo what your talking about....

Amish, the php code works perfect, but I was wondering how you would you modify it to show text beside the coloured dot?

Vibe Streamer Status O

Thanks!
Dave

Hey ddindia, yeah Do you want the text displayable in the image? That would be easier.

Whatever's easier, I was picturing something basic on my site, like

"The Vibestreamer status is (PHP COLOUR CODE)", which of course would be the coloured circle with the app status.

sure ill code it today man and post it here soon

Is there any way to run this as a page in a website? Dont really know much about Http or php but wandering if it is possible.

Thanks

David
