HTTP request?

Is there any way I can request e.g. play count through an HTTP request from PHP, I can do the code to count the players, but I don't know how to respond to a request from a website. Any help ?
Thanks =)

You can use the playercount command without sending the password.

PHP:

<?php
$bukkit_host = "localhost";
$bukkit_port = 6790;
$bukkit_password = "password";

$errn = "";
$errs = "";
$timeout = 10;
$sock = fsockopen($bukkit_host, $bukkit_port, $errn, $errs, $timeout);
$expectplayercount = false;
if($sock){
    while(!feof($sock)){
        fgetc($sock);
        fgetc($sock); //remove the first two chars
        $line = trim(mb_convert_encoding(fgets($sock, 4096), "ASCII"));
        if($line != ""){
            if($expectplayercount == true){
                if($line != "1"){
                    echo $line." players online.\r\n";
                }
                else{
                    echo "1 player online.\r\n";
                }
                fclose($sock);
                exit;
            }
            if($line == "Welcome to Bukkit, please authenticate."){
                fwrite($sock, "playercount\r\n");
                $expectplayercount = true;
            }
        }
    }
}
else{
    echo "Error: Could not connect to Bukkit! ".$errn." (".$errs.")";
}
?>

 

I want to create a plugin that will return an array of players when I use http://<serverip>:<port>/players or submit the players to a website (every 5 mins) so I can use $_GET

 

PHP:

<?php
$bukkit_host = "localhost";
$bukkit_port = 6790;
$bukkit_password = "password";

$errn = "";
$errs = "";
$timeout = 10;
$sock = fsockopen($bukkit_host, $bukkit_port, $errn, $errs, $timeout);
$expectplayers = false;
$players = array();
if($sock){
    while(!feof($sock)){
        fgetc($sock);
        fgetc($sock); //remove the first two chars
        $line = trim(mb_convert_encoding(fgets($sock, 4096), "ASCII"));
        if($line != ""){
            if($line == "Welcome to Bukkit, please authenticate."){
                fwrite($sock, "getplayers\r\n");
                fgetc($sock);
                fgetc($sock);
                $line = fgets($sock, 4096);
                while(preg_match("/player name=/",$line)){
                    array_push($players, trim(substr($line, 12)));
                    fgetc($sock);
                    fgetc($sock);
                    $line = fgets($sock, 4096);
                }
                echo json_encode($players);
                fwrite($sock, "quit\r\n");
                fclose($sock);
                exit;
            }
        }
    }
}
else{
    echo "Error: Could not connect to Bukkit! ".$errn." (".$errs.")";
}
?>

 

I will use that thanks, my minecraft server doesn't use Bukkit yet though

 

Well uh, you can take code from my plugin and remove everything that's not needed. Password isn't needed for the getplayers, playercount, port, or maxplayers commands.

Edit: K.

 

Thanks for help, I have implemented this into the new server status checker I am currently working on, Gotta redesign layout now ^^
