Shoutcast Query Script

[CDfuse.com]

We had a shoutcast query script on our server that died whenever server 38 crashed. I'm beginning to think its not working because something wasn't setup correctly upon reinstallation but I wanted to run the script through you guys to see if something else may be wrong.

 

><?php

$fp = fsockopen("ct2.fast-serv.com", 8782, &$errno, &$errstr, 30);

fputs($fp,"GET /index.html HTTP/1.0\r\nUser-Agent: XML Getter (Mozilla Compatible)\r\n\r\n");

while(!feof($fp)) {
 $page .= fgets($fp, 1000);
}

echo $page;
?>

 

On my local machine, this works fine. It goes to the server, grabs the page, and then spits it back out. Obviously, the data is manipulated after that but for now, I just want to get this part working.

Other than the file pointer not being closed after being used, I see nothing wrong with the script...

 

Try checking the result of the fsockopen() and fupts() calls. Maybe something's going wrong there.

Yeah, I know about the closure on there.

 

I think I've found the root of the problem though. I can use fsockopen() all day if I'm just accessing port 80 on a server, but the minute I change that, it won't connect. I'll put in a helpdesk ticket as it seems like the server is blocking requests made to a non-standard port.

That was my guess, too. I just wanted you to check first, before telling you to submit a help desk ticket. Glad you nailed it

Help desk notified, port opened, works like a charm.

 

Thanks again!

Glad you got it working Thumbs Up
