Today i bring to you my first piece of php work which i find to be quite nice.

It may not be the hardest thing to do but some people will like this

This is an adaption of a simple free existing script but vastly improved and styles so using images instead of words to show online services and offline services and it has had more added to it

Example: http://www.xtremehosts.co.uk/server

First off start by opening up a blank notepad

Then copy and paste this into it:

<style type="text/css">

</style>
 Use this page to check the status of any system on our server
Server Status: 

<?php
//You can replace the domain with an IP if you wish
$site = "Your IP Goes here";
$http = fsockopen($site, 80);
$ftp = fsockopen($site, 21);
$pop3 = fsockopen($site, 110);
$cPanel = fsockopen($site, 2082);
$WHM = fsockopen($site, 2086);
if ($http) {
$status .= 'Http Status: <img src="/images/ball_green.gif">';
}
else {
$status .= 'Http Status: <img src="/images/ball_red.gif">';
}
if ($ftp) {
$status .= 'FTP Status: <img src="/images/ball_green.gif">';
}
else {
$status .= 'FTP Status: <img src="/images/ball_red.gif">';
}
if ($pop3) {
$status .= 'POP3/SMTP Status: <img src="/images/ball_green.gif">';
}
else {
$status .= 'POP3/SMTP Status: <img src="/images/ball_red.gif">';
}
if ($cPanel) {
$status .= 'cPanel Status: <img src="/images/ball_green.gif">';
}
else {
$status .= 'cPanel Status: <img src="/images/ball_red.gif">';
}
if ($WHM) {
$status .= 'WHM Status: <img src="/images/ball_green.gif">';
}
else {
$status .= 'WHM Status: <img src="/images/ball_red.gif">';
}
echo("$status");

?>

Ok now the breakdown

This code is the IP/Domain of the server we are going to check:

$site = "Your IP Goes here";

This code checks the status of each port. For example we have Port 80 and Port 21 which are http and Ftp. You can have it check any Port on the server but in this it checks:
HTTP
FTP
POP3/SMTP
cPanel
WHM

$http = fsockopen($site, 80);
$ftp = fsockopen($site, 21);
$pop3 = fsockopen($site, 110);
$cPanel = fsockopen($site, 2082);
$WHM = fsockopen($site, 2086);

This part of the code displays the results of the check

if ($http) {
$status .= 'Http Status: <img src="/images/ball_green.gif">';
}
else {
$status .= 'Http Status: <img src="/images/ball_red.gif">';
}
if ($ftp) {
$status .= 'FTP Status: <img src="/images/ball_green.gif">';
}
else {
$status .= 'FTP Status: <img src="/images/ball_red.gif">';
}
if ($pop3) {
$status .= 'POP3/SMTP Status: <img src="/images/ball_green.gif">';
}
else {
$status .= 'POP3/SMTP Status: <img src="/images/ball_red.gif">';
}
if ($cPanel) {
$status .= 'cPanel Status: <img src="/images/ball_green.gif">';
}
else {
$status .= 'cPanel Status: <img src="/images/ball_red.gif">';
}
if ($WHM) {
$status .= 'WHM Status: <img src="/images/ball_green.gif">';
}
else {
$status .= 'WHM Status: <img src="/images/ball_red.gif">';
}

And finally this part of the code echo's the output and makes it visible on the PHP page we have created:

echo("$status");

This is my first tutorial on how to make a Server System check page. This is a seriously modified version of a simple PHP code on hostpapers

There is obviously room for expansion and more for what you can do with this and if you do modify do share your changes with people so that we can all update our script to include any new features you may develop. Remember to leave a link to a working Demo

Thanks and Enjoy

(please note replace the path to the online and offline images with your own as the ones i have are the ones i have chosen to use. You may have a different choice as to what you wish to use. Mine are from WHMCS billing system)

wont work on non cpanel hosts though :P

Thats easy change the ports to their respective ports for Plesk etc

This was written for cPanel

Can be easily modified to work with plesk if you change the ports

Thanks

Im continuing to develop the server file and may look into adding more pages to it

Im working on uptime and showing space used in a bar

Its not easy making a bar show space used out of 100%

If anyone feels like helping feel free to try and post on this thread

Maybe use @fsockopen() to hide the errors that come up when it can't connect?

-::Mr.Dave::-

-::Mr.Dave::-

12-11-2006, 03:38 PM
