Online checker for website / signature

ruffdawg · 27th December 2003, 05:21

Okay, I have been working on this for about a week. The only thread close is "Festerhead's Signature" but i dont understand that. Can somebody please help me. I want to put a small window on my website to show if I am broadcasting, what I am broadcasting, or if im not broadcasting. Nothing more, nothing less. Please do not give me a link to another thread beacause i have checked them all and they do not seem to help me at all. This is important to me because I am not broadcasting at all times. Please help.

DJHotIce · 27th December 2003, 05:36

have you searched the formus? I know I've posted an example PHP somewhere. All thats needed is to add the meat to the bones.

ruffdawg · 27th December 2003, 05:37

Ive tried some php stuff and it just comes in as plain text... is there any way you can give me some meat for the bones?

DJHotIce · 27th December 2003, 05:48

do you have a PHP enabled webserver?

ruffdawg · 27th December 2003, 15:07

yes i do

ruffdawg · 28th December 2003, 00:38

Please help, thanks in advance.

DJHotIce · 28th December 2003, 00:49

I don't know ASP so couldn't exactly tell you your problem...

However an example in PHP would be this

PHP Code:


			
<?PHP

if (@fsock_open($ip, $port, $error1, $error2, 1))

  {} // run on if true

else { die("Station Offline"); }

?>

simple as that. Sorry for not totally using proper coding protocol.

ruffdawg · 28th December 2003, 00:55

Thanks for the quick response. I've tried php and its just to hard. I used php codes/progs and it always comes up as text. Asp is just easier for me. in my coding it says:

<% If ServerStatus = 0 Then %>
Server is currently down

Its something with that part of the code that isnt working. Im getting a "Page cannot be displayed", i should at least get a plain text message, id be happy with that. Is there any html code i can use so if a page does not come up it can be automatically redirected to another. That way i can create a new page with just text. I am using a frame to display my .asp message. is there any coding you can help me with? Thanx

DJHotIce · 28th December 2003, 00:56

for some reason you must not have PHP enabled on the web service. Actually I find PHP quite eazy to learn lol. It was the first language I learned!

ruffdawg · 28th December 2003, 01:01

actually, i went to this web site: www.clickherefree.com and found a php enabled server there. ... i even checked out some software in the winamp thing and it didnt work. I dunno, i just want something basic. Have you done anything similar that im trying to do? if so what did you do? lol ill take any info i can get

DJHotIce · 28th December 2003, 01:12

actually no. I used to have a station and the network I was with required 24/7 station

you may wish to try www.krradio.com which uses the fsock_open() feature to show the current status of his streams, additionally for more fundamental reasons, try using www.festerhead.com from the famous moderator himself

FesterHead · 28th December 2003, 19:18

Here's my code:

code:


<?



$check1 = fsockopen("IP", "PORT");



if ($check1) {

  echo ("<image border='0' src='images/thumbsup.gif' title='Stream is up!'>");

  $close = fclose($check1);

}

else

  echo ("<image border='0' src='images/thumbsdown.gif' title='Stream is down!'>");



?>

Thx guys for all your help, I finally got it to work using Ramage's Script. (Thnx DJRampage) But one question still remains, where can I change the font size? My code is listed at http://www.lunchbreak.net/rampageradio/black.txt Thanx in advance.

FesterHead · 4th January 2004, 02:32

Check out the PHP definitions for imagestring and imagettftext.

ruffdawg · 4th January 2004, 02:35

Hi, I know its something in here:

code:


$px = (imagesx($im)-5*strlen($string1))/2;

	ImageString($im,1,$px,5,$string1,$text_color1);

//             (image,font (from 1 to 5),starting x position, y position,line of text,color)

	$px = (imagesx($im)-5*strlen($string2))/2;

	ImageString($im,1,$px,20,$string2,$text_color2);

	$px = (imagesx($im)-5*strlen($string3))/2;

	ImageString($im,1,$px,30,$string3,$text_color2);

	$px = (imagesx($im)-5*strlen($string4))/2;

	ImageString($im,1,$px,45,$string4,$text_color1);

im just note sure what and where to type in. Thnx in Advance.

The function definition for imagestring will tell you.

Oh lol sorry, i thought it meant font type (arial, comic sans MS, Etc.) Next time I won't waste your time with something so obviously stupid. Thnx again!

teddyfrost · 5th January 2004, 07:21

I too am interested in adding a simple php script to display not only if the station is online, but hopefully the dj, and track too.

Is there an easy way to do this? I know php fairly well but ihave never used fsock, so If anyone can post a well commented example (showing which variables should contrain which data it would be VERY much appreciated

ruffdawg · 5th January 2004, 11:40

I had trouble before, and now I found a proper PHP Code. You can find it Here At least it works for me. It tells you exactly what to fill in. Hope this helps.

FesterHead · 5th January 2004, 14:57
