php server status page?

[munkynpunky]

Hey,

I have three different servers, and I want to have a status page to show that services such as POP3, SMTP, HTTP, etc etc would be shown as active or failed...

could anyone point me in the correct direction please?

well, basically it's a better job for a perl script. Either way, you didn't specify platform you'll be running the script on. That has to be said, because Windoze handles that different than UNIX/Linux

Why? PHP is quite capable of doing it.

No, PHP glosses over the differences quite nicely.

<?php
  $servers = array(
    'Server One' => 'server1.com',
    'Server Two' => 'server2.com',
    'Server Three' => 'server3.com'
  );

  $services = array(
    'SMTP' => 25,
    'HTTP' => 80,
    'POP' => 110
  );

  foreach($servers as $svrName => $host) {
?>
<table class="serviceTable">
  <tr>
    <th colspan="2" class="serverName">
      <?php echo($svrName); ?>
    </th>
  </tr>
<?php
    foreach($services as $svcName => $port) {
      $status = 'Available';
      $f;
      if(!($f = fsockopen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, 3)))
      // The number above is a timeout.  A bigger
      // number will result in better accuracy but
      // longer page loading time.
        $status = 'Unavailable';
      else fclose($f);
      // The connection worked; we don't need to
      // do anything else with the socket, so we
      // close it.
?>
  <tr>
    <td class="serviceName">
      <?php echo($svcName); ?>
    </td>
    <td class="serviceStatus">
      <?php echo($status); ?>
    </td>
  </tr>
<?php
    }
?>
</table>
<?php
  }
?>

Untested.

Ouch. If you're going to check all those, it might be wise to just display/parse the output of nmap.
