} My problem now is that as it runs through the loop - it has a connection error. Warning: socket_connect() [function.socket-connect]: unable to connect [106]: Transport endpoint is already connected in status.php on line 17

maybe you should close the socket before trying to open it again? also where is $ip being set?

Even looking at examples, I cannot figure out why this error is being produced. I cannot close the socket at the end of the loop, as it would make any further attempts for online status impossible. The socket_close($sock) is directly after the loop. Thanks for any help!

Hm. Thats interesting. I attempted that the other day, however at that time it produced results that are... very similar to an infinite loop (continuously "loading page" on status bar, and when I hit stop the page had nothing loaded). I expected it to be the same - however it worked this time, beautifully in fact. Thanks, you pushed me to try a second time :P Thats interesting as well, however... I consulted one of my PHP books for when I was learning the changes in PHP5 and looked at the example for socket_connect, it shows an example for querying the Return to Castle Wolfenstein master server, storing the data in an array, and then without utilizing socket_close in any of the loops - it continues to conect to each server and query it for its status (players, settings, etc). That is why I didnt see much error in my code - the example showed it to be correct in my eyes. Anyways, yea, thanks for the help! ($ip was set just above that codeblock, for testing purposes I was using a local IP - 192.168.1.68 to test for functionality.)
