help with a php script !!

[cgworld]

error reporting is on right now ...
but still if you try a valid domain which doesnt exist e.g :

smmdkkhfjvdhvk.com

the result is online !!!

[Lifetalk]

Your script is flawed. First off, it does not validate whether the input is actually a domain or not. You could google for that, and you'll find answers on how to do that.

Second, have you tried using another method, other than fsockopen? Maybe try file_get_contents => http://php.net/file_get_contents

Man my problem right now is not validation ... i am saying that it works fine on my http://localhost/script/ but on isonline.warezsociety.org it gives errors.
even if i do validation i will get errors, for example see this one :

pkvjjfhjejfdvdfv.com this one doesnt exists

the result on my server and localhost are :




on local :

Check php version runing into your localhost and php version runing into your hosting.

You have to code the script a little bit complex...

[cgworld]

i already checked them, the version is not issue !!!

add this to your code at start after opening <?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);

and see what u gets

[litewarez]

it does not go a miss to make your code less error prone and more specific.

function track($host, $port = 80, $timeout = 30)
{
    try
    {
        $socket = fsockopen($host,$port,$e_number,$e_string,$timeout);
    }catch(Exception $e)
    {
        //Not a valid domain more than likly!
        return false;
    }

    if($socket === false)
    {
        //No socket so unable to connect
        return false;
    }

    if($e_number != 0)
    {
        //There was an error, use the $e_number to track what type of error.
        return false;
    }

    //If all the  above is ok we return false as a positive connection was made.
    return true;
}

if(track('google.com'))
{
    echo 'google is awake';
}else
{
    echo 'google is asleep';
} 

also another note is that functions are meant to be reused throughout an application so i advice you always make your functions return a datatype such as bools,ints etc so that no matter where you run the code you can always change the output.

Peace, hope that fixes your prob.

.......... error found !!

}cache(Exception $e) to
