Online Games (Updated!)

Ever wanted to display the join URL, Players in the game and the server Status on a PHP-enabled website? Now you can!

In addition to my previous post, this little function will grab all the information on hosted servers you need. To use it is pretty simple too, Grab the data using a variable: $servers = hub_get_contents('enigmaster2002.iconultima'); then just put it inside a for($i = 0; $i < count($servers); $i++) loop and display the data with $servers[$i]['url'].

(An example of the script in action can be found: here. Just change the ?hub= in the address bar to your game and see how it works.

function hub_get_contents($hub) {
    $hub_page = file_get_contents("http://www.byond.com/games/" . $hub . "&format=text");
    $servers = array();

    $i = strpos($hub_page,"world/1");
    $disabledline_server = explode('world/', substr($hub_page, $i+9, strlen($hub_page)));
    foreach($online_server as $game) {
        $server = array(
            'url'           => '',
            'status'        => '',
            'users'         => '',
        );
        
        $start = strpos($game, 'url');
        if($start) {
            $a = strpos($game, '"', $start)+1;
            $b = strpos($game, '"', $a);
            $server['url'] = substr($game, $a, $b - $a);
        }
        
        $start = strpos($game, 'status');
        if($start) {
            $a = strpos($game, '"', $start) +1;
            $b = strpos($game, '"', $a);
            $server['status'] = substr($game, $a, $b - $a);
        }
        
        $start = strpos($game, 'users');
        if($start) {
            $start = $start+13;
            $end = strpos($game, ')', $start);
            $result = str_replace('"', '', substr($game, $start, $end - ($start)));
            $server['users'] = $result;
        }
                    
        $servers[] = $server;
    }
    
    return $servers;
}

[Update]
One or two people sent me a page because they were having trouble getting the function to work. So I'll give you a complete working script to go with it.

$servers = hub_get_contents('enigmaster2002.iconultima');
for($i = 0; $i < count($servers); $i++) {
    echo("<b>URL:</b> " . $servers[$i]['url'] . "<br>");
    echo("<b>Status:</b> " . $servers[$i]['status'] . "<br>");
    echo("<b>Users:</b> " . $servers[$i]['users'] . "<br><br>");
}

function hub_get_contents($hub) {
    $hub_page = file_get_contents("http://www.byond.com/games/" . $hub . "&format=text");
    $servers = array();

    $i = strpos($hub_page,"world/1");
    $online_server = explode('world/', substr($hub_page, $i+9, strlen($hub_page)));
    foreach($online_server as $game) {
        $server = array(
            'url'           => '',
            'status'        => '',
            'users'         => '',
        );
        
        $start = strpos($game, 'url');
        if($start) {
            $a = strpos($game, '"', $start)+1;
            $b = strpos($game, '"', $a);
            $server['url'] = substr($game, $a, $b - $a);
        }
        
        $start = strpos($game, 'status');
        if($start) {
            $a = strpos($game, '"', $start) +1;
            $b = strpos($game, '"', $a);
            $server['status'] = substr($game, $a, $b - $a);
        }
        
        $start = strpos($game, 'users');
        if($start) {
            $start = $start+13;
            $end = strpos($game, ')', $start);
            $result = str_replace('"', '', substr($game, $start, $end - ($start)));
            $server['users'] = $result;
        }
                    
        $servers[] = $server;
    }
    
    return $servers;
}

I really hate that DM tags auto-convert HTML anchor tags, for the reccord.
