Fixing the Server status - View servers option

[jmontoya]

Replace this code in:
includes/status.php

PHP Code:

<?php
//Web Server Status v 1.4, Copyright 2002 By Ryan Schwiebert, visit http://www.schwebdesigns.com/
//This script may be freely distributed providing all copyright headers are kept intact.

$live = "../themes/icons/lightbulb.png";
$dead = "../themes/icons/lightbulb_off.png";

//The status checking script

//check for port number, default is 80
$link = $_GET['link'];
$s_link = basename($link);
list($addr,$port)= explode (':',"$s_link");
if (empty($port)){
    $port = 80;
}

//Test the server connection
$churl = @fsockopen($addr, $port, $errno, $errstr, 5);
if (!$churl){
    //echo $errstr;
    header("Location: $dead");
} else {
   header("Location: $live");             
}
?>

Not works

What kind of changes did you make? It works fine on every system that I've tested it on.

If you are talking about 1.2.2 then that makes no sense since all it is doing is a ping. The only times the server status will not work is if the port/IP are incorrect or the server does not allow ICMP.

Is it even really pinging it? The script just really sends a request to open a socket.

Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong script. Doh!
