You cant specificly just have a few lines of code for the uptime. You have to keep track of how long it stays up and how long it stays down then average it, so you would have to make a database and log it every so with php. Let me see if theres a way for you to steal it off eoserv.

Edit: Ok, made a little app to parse the xml, and select your server.

Just chance the ?server=NameHere in the url. It has to be exactly how its showing on your server.

Use something along the lines of : 

<?php

include "http://projecthub.hostoi.com/projects/eoserv/uptime.php?server=Endless%20Edge";

?>

http://projecthub.hostoi.com/projects/eoserv/uptime.php?server=Endless%20Edge

I am not sure that your example even works... and if it is actually getting any real data, your formula waaaaay off.

Its grabbing it straight from the eoserv xml. It should work. My example should also work since when you include an html file/php file, if it includes any html/text it will include it in your page.

im not sure if this is what you are asking for so just ignore this if im wrong.

<?php
$uptime = shell_exec("cut -d. -f1 /proc/uptime");
$days = floor($uptime/60/60/24);
$hours = $uptime/60/60%24;
$mins = $uptime/60%60;
$secs = $uptime%60;
echo "up $days days $hours hours $mins minutes and $secs seconds";
?>

No, hes asking for the uptime on his server. 

What is the format of the uptime in the xml anyway?

So, no one has a code that will work?

when I use this

<?php

if (isset($_GET['server']))
{
$xml = simplexml_load_file("https://eoserv.net/SLN/xml");
$servers = 0;

foreach ($xml->children() as $child)
{
if ($_GET['server'] == $child->name[0])
{
$servers += 1;
echo $child->uptime[0];
}
}

if ($servers == 0)
{
echo "Sorry, but the server '".$_GET['server']."' is currently not on the server list.";
}
}

?>


it returns a blank page http://eo-red.us/uptest.php

and why should it access eoserv.net at all? isn't the information in my database? I know damned good and well when I type $uptime in my client it doesn't connect to eoserv.net before it returns the value......

That is because eoserv.net doesn't check any stored uptime. If a connection is made from your server to eoserv.net then your server is visible, every subsequent connection adds to the time eoserv.net's SLN thinks your server is running. If a connection cannot be made, the SLN determines your server is officially offline and the uptime is reset.

@Wildsurvival: You should use your own script to check for an open connection. Also, your time format is fucked to hell. Looks like rawtime.

I was just hoping someone would have a method of retrieving the uptime via php that I could use to display it on my site. I'm not trying to duplicate SLN functions, just display the uptime.

It won't because you haven't defined a server, try uptime.php?server=yourserver

Yeah I didn't modify the time format, as I have no clue what format it is in.

To be honest with you bud, I think it'd probably be worth while looking at the source to see how EOSERV communicates with the database & just how it records the uptime and then code in some kind of system that updates a "uptime" field in maybe a new table called server properties? (Just brainstorming here) I wouldn't know how to go about the C++ side of this but you're quite right in thinking that there's no need to contact the SLN at all considering $uptime works in game without pulling from the SLN.
