去编写一个Minecraft服务器状态检查程序

Question

I'm wanting to make a program which allows for me to check the status of Minecraft servers whether they're online, offline or full. How would I go about doing so? I'm thinking PHP server side, Python client side and SQL as server?

I need some major advice on what needs to be done to achieve such a task.

Answer 1

You don't need a database. Ping the server. If it responds, it's up...display a large green checkmark. If it doesn't respond...it's down. Display a large red x. You can do that in the FB API or in plain PHP anywhere.

See this question, which provides the following code:

function ping($host, $port, $timeout)
{ 
  $tB = microtime(true); 
  $fP = fSockOpen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout); 
  if (!$fP) { return "down"; } 
  $tA = microtime(true); 
  return round((($tA - $tB) * 1000), 0)." ms"; 
}
