ok i have recently used jaceks server status page tutorial... And i was wondering if anyone could help me make it where
when you see the servers, you can click the servers name and it will have their own custom page with info about it and the ability for people to post their own servers. please if anyone can help can they show me what i should do with codes to figure this out thank you.

here are my codes:
status.php:
<?php

include('core/init.inc.php');

?>
<html>
	<head>
		<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
		<style type="text/css">

			td, th		{ padding: 4px; border: solid 1px #444; }
			.online		{ background: #090; }
			.offline	{ background: #900; }
			a			{ color: white; }
		</style>
		<title>Server Status</title>
	</head>
	<body background="ext/images/background.jpg">

You could create a new php page called view_server.php or something. You would need to get a database set up for this also. Store the servers in a database along with an ID.
Then retrieve the id from the database and echo it out like this:
<?php
 foreach ($servers as $server){
                                        $online = server_online($server[0], $server[1]);
                                        ?>
                                              <a href="view_server.php?id=<?php echo $server['id']; ?>"><?php echo $server['name']; ?></a>
                                        <?php
                                }
You would then code view_server.php to fetch the $_GET['id'] variable and pick information from the database that belongs to that id.

And for the user upload thing you would have to create a form where the user has to input server name, ip and port or whatever else information you need and insert that into your database.

Let me know if you need more specific help with something.

ok i have added 4 columns in the table server status...
server_id - auto increment
server_name - varchar 50
server_ip - varchar 50
server_port - varchar 50

also i made a server pagination and heres is what i have so far and also the server status always shows online how do i fix this problem?

server.inc.php
<?php

// checks if server is online
function server_online($server, $port){
	fsockopen($server, $port, $errno, $errstr, 0.1);
	
	return ($errno === 0);
}

function fetch_servers($page, $per_page){
	
	$start		= (int)($page - 1) * $per_page;
	$per_page	= (int)$per_page;
	$result = mysql_query("SELECT `server_id` AS `id`, `server_name` AS `name`, `server_ip` AS `ip`, `server_port` AS `port` FROM `server_status` LIMIT {$start}, {$per_page}");
	
	$servers = array();
	
	while (($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) !== false){
		$servers[] = $row;
	}

	return $servers;
}

function fetch_total_servers(){
	$result = mysql_query('SELECT COUNT(`server_id`) FROM `server_status`');
	
	return mysql_result($result, 0);
}

?>
status.php
<center><table>
			<thead>
				<tr>
					<th>Server Name</th>
					<th>Server IP</th>
					<th>Server Port</th>
					<th>Server Status</th>
				</tr>
			</thead>
			<tbody>
				<?php
				
				foreach (fetch_servers($page, 5) as $server){
					$online = server_online($server[0], $server[1]);

					?>
					<tr>
						<td align="center"><?php echo $server['name']; ?></td>
						<td align="center"><?php echo $server['ip']; ?></td>
						<td align="center"><?php echo $server['port']; ?></td>

			for ($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; ++$i){
				echo " <a href=\"?page={$i}\">{$i}</a> ";

Yes, unless there's anything else you need or want, like a description.
The id will be automatically generated for you if you make the field auto-increment, so you wont actually need to add that in yourself.

50 characters is deceptively long ~30 should be more than enough for the server_name. The server IP will never be longer than 15 characters since there are 4 blocks of 3 numbers and 3 periods. the server_post should not be a string type since it's not a string, it should be an integer of length 6 (maybe 5, go check the highest possible port number)

Some other general tips
  • You should avoid outputting huge chunks of HTML with echo, it makes it very hard to format things properly
  • You should not use $_POST directly in a function, the point of a function is that is should be reusable by using $_POST as you do you restrict it's use to a very specific form submission.
  • you need to look up SQL injection since the add_user function is vulnerable, I did mention this in the video multiple times :?
  • You should really try to style things with CSS more, and not use non-standard html attributes and tags.

Doesn't IPv6 use 32 characters though? So, having it available for longer addresses is a good idea, since they will be arriving not too far away.

You have to confuse things don't you. It's probably not the worst idea to support ipv6, but you can always change it later if needed.

ok i have fixed mainly everything but the hard part is now the function server_online()
does not show the status of the server it has been requested for... so how would i make function server_online()
grab the ip and port from the mysql database and show if it is online or not? and if you can can you give me a code example

Instead of having the function fetch the information form the database you should fetch the info with another function and then use it with the check function.

Something like what you have actually
foreach (fetch_servers($page, 5) as $server){
   $online = server_online($server[0], $server[1]);
}

ok i am currently confused about this and how in 'code' would i make this function like what should be in it? and also i need for the function to grab the ip from the database because the ip and port are stored into the database. Thanks, Smg.

Ok I have 2 php pages that should be able to show online and offline one is view_server.php this page shows the servers info
The other one is status.php which shows a list of all servers but they don't show online or offline they're always offline so how would I make a function that grabs the ip and port from the database to properly show online and offline?
Also how would I put the code to show if it works or not?

Ah okay, well it looks like the way you are doing it is right. The only problem I can see is that you are using mysql_fetch_assoc() and then trying to use numeric keys to access the array.

Try using the column names instead, so
 $online = server_online($server[0], $server[1]);
would be
 $online = server_online($server['ip'], $server['port']);
You might also need to increase the timeout used in the fsockopen function a bit. 0.5 should be more than enough to make sure the connection is still made to a laggy server.

Hmm, can you try turning error_reporting back on ? the connection might be failing for the wrong reason. Just post back what the error is form the fsockopen() function on both pages (if there is one).

Also, you still need to fix the add_server() function ;)

could you also post an example of the data form the table ?

ok there is no fsockopen function on those two pages its just the tutorial you gave on the server status page i did and now its not working because i tried to make it grab the ip and port from the database and also when i try to make the add_server() function secure it doesnt put all of the info into the correct places on the page so i am not sure how to make it secure...

The fsockopen function is in the server_online() function and that is called on both of the pages. You don't want to have to server_online function take anything from the database directly. Maybe try printing the server IP and port before you check it to make sure that you are using the right data ?

As for the security thing, post your code :)
