Forum :: Programming :: php request: $uptime displayed on website

Okay, this could be completely wrong... But It's also just an idea.

I'm no good with code from scratch only fixing code that's already written.

But, These websites that check your port like "canyouseeme.org"  If you're running your server and you check the port that your server runs through the port checker can see your service.

Is it possible to have a Time Clock count the seconds/minutes/hours whatever you want to see how long it can see your service as well as how long it's down for? If so then you can just have them average out to place an uptime percentage on your website >_>... But as I said I could be completely wrong with this. And I imagine you'd need an infinite loop to keep reading the source. And when it stops then your "No Service" counter would go and when it continues then you "On Service" would go >_> therefor Averaging it out in a set number of time.

Hey there, I have a solution to your issue! It's probably REALLY ugly code but it is a solution none the less.. Assuming you know how to set up cron jobs? ( Which are basically just a list of scripts/programs that the computer will execute at regular intervals of which you define, I know how toin linux, I don't know if there's something similar in windows) I have written a simple PHP script that will connect to the server you assign it to, and will update a table called "serverinfo" (which it will create if it doesn't exist within your eoserv database) and increment a field called"uptime" by the interval which you set in minutes and display how long the server has been up, in minutes. Also I thought ahead and decided to add a little "security" feature if you will so your uptime can't be fucked with. you have to browse to uptime.php?accesskey=abcdefg in order for the scriptto fully execute and you can change this access key if you should so desire, just be sure to make sure you assign the accesskey in your cron job :) If you wish to use this basic script I can work on it some more to make it more suited to your requirements but it's the best I/anyone has come up withso far by the looks of it? 

Here's the script: https://tehsausage.com/paste/uptime //doesn't create a table. Look to my next post for this fix.

Any more info needed, just message back

Uh, I don't think HTML has quite the capabilities of PHP so far as connecting to a server :L so in answer to your question, no. Sorry.
