Good afternoon all,

I need some advise. I am using this script to determine the status of a server:

<?php
//Please change to your server specifications
$live = "http://pathtofile/status/live.gif";
$dead = "http://pathtofile/status/dead.gif";

//The status checking script
//meddle at your own risk!
//check for port number, default is 80
list($addr,$port)= explode (':',"$link");
if (empty($port)){
$port = 80;
}
//Test the server connection
$churl = @fsockopen(server($addr), $port, $errno, $errstr, 4);
if (!$churl){
header("Location: $dead");
}
else {
header("Location: $live");
}
function server($addr){
if(strstr($addr,"/")){$addr = substr($addr, 0, strpos($addr, "/"));}
return $addr;
}
?>

When the server is online it shows the live.gif and when it is offline it shows the dead gif. Is there a way to optionally redirect to an alternative webpage based on condition? For example, if it is online it would go to online.html or if offline go to offline.html.

Thank you for your assistance.

I would think you would have a problem with headers ( as I was ) and I found a post on this forum about using a Meta tag to redirect.

PHP Code:

if (!$churl)

{

 echo '<meta http-equiv=Refresh content=1;url="online.html ">';

}



else

{

 echo '<meta http-equiv=Refresh content=1;url="offline.html ">';

}

I am pretty sure I did something wrong. I changed it to the below and no matter if the server is up or down it goes to the first echo variable...

any suggestions?

<?php
//Please change to your server specifications
$live = "http://pathtofile/status/live.gif";
$dead = "http://pathtofile/status/dead.gif";

//The status checking script
//meddle at your own risk!
//check for port number, default is 80
list($addr,$port)= explode (':',"$link");
if (empty($port)){
$port = 80;
}
//Test the server connection
$churl = @fsockopen(server($addr), $port, $errno, $errstr, 4);
if (!$churl){
echo '<meta http-equiv=Refresh content=1;url="http://pathtofile/faq.htm">';
}
else {
echo '<meta http-equiv=Refresh content=1;url="http://pathtofile/contact.htm">';
}
function server($addr){
if(strstr($addr,"/")){$addr = substr($addr, 0, strpos($addr, "/"));}
return $addr;
}
?>

If what i think you want is this, change

PHP Code:

$live = "http://pathtofile/status/live.gif";

$dead = "http://pathtofile/status/dead.gif"; 

to

PHP Code:

$live = "http://pathtofile/status/online.html";

$dead = "http://pathtofile/status/offline.html"; 

????

[edit] but uh yeh, i just tested it on my server, went to the offline page.

Oh an also ..did you really need something so complicated?
for example, you could use this...

PHP Code:

<?PHP



$check = fsockopen ("www.yoursite.com", "80");



if ($check){

echo '<meta http-equiv=Refresh content=1;url="online.html ">';

$close = fclose($check);

}

else{

echo '<meta http-equiv=Refresh content=1;url="offline.html ">';

}



?>
