Here's some example code to query a Q3arena gameserver (also applies to halflife servers). Alot of people seem to have problems with doing sending/recieving UDP packets while not knowing how many lines of data the server will return. The trick is to do a socket_set_blocking($fp,0); while reading data. <?php //Q3 query/parsescript by M7@bigfoot.de 01/2001 //Open the network for transmission. $fp = fsockopen("udp://$serverip",$port, &$errno, &$errstr,10); if (!$fp) { //Something didn't work.... echo "ERROR: $errno - $errstr\n"; exit; } else { //Send statusrequest. fwrite($fp,"ÿÿÿÿgetstatus\x00"); //wait till we receive a header and store it (isn't used at the moment) //2Do, use header to determine, if we're really talking to the right server/getting the right data. $header=fgets($fp, 20); //now we get the the servers statusdata in one line $data=fgets($fp, 1500); //Prepare socket for end of transmission from gameserver. socket_set_blocking($fp,0); //Now the server lists it's clients, one each line $playernum=0; while(!feof($fp)) { //put the playerinformation in an array, while counting total number of players. $player[$playernum]=fgets($fp, 100); $playernum++; } //Closing connetion fclose($fp);
