| | I'm currently making a fansite for a game thats coming out soon and im wondering how I can show the game status:
Meaning..is the game down? or is the game up?
I of course don't have access to their servers and I have no IP whatsoever, Im very sure they won't give out much info on their servers either, because their current game (GunBound) is getting hacked like crazy, releasing server info might cause problems for both me and Softnyx
At the moment I have only the forum status (wich is pretty easy), and a n/a image on my Game Status.
Is there a possibility to get their game status by contacting the game in another way? or is there a way to get it with minimum info of the gameservers?
The game im talking about is Rakion
My fansite is located at:
online.trap17.com
Thanks in advance |

Does the official game site show the server status? If yes, you could just ask them for permission to show game status. If you can't, ask around on their forums and all, people generally know how to get that kinda info. On your image problem, try changing the image url to http://online.trap17.com.... , just remove the www part.

Shouldn't your mysql_connect statement have 'localhost' instead of localhost?! (Notice the ')

As for the images, if you're going to close the PHP tags and do other stuff I'm relatively certain you need a colon (:) instead of braces ({}) CODE <?php
if($x == 1):
?>
something...
something...
<?php
else:
?>
something...
something...
<?php
endif;
?>

No, IF statements open with {} and not with (). The ()is used for a detailed if statement CODE if($session==false){ //what will happen if the statement is false }

That's not what I said. I said that if you're going to close the php tag in the middle of an if statement, use a colon and endif instead of brackets.

and it would be much easier if you would use a template system and completely seperate your html tags from your php codes.
