[PHP] Clientless Silkroad Security + ServerStats

Heres the code (is there no way in this board to use an expander?)

PHP Code:

<?php
    $_REQUEST["host"] = "gwgt1.joymax.com";
    $_REQUEST["port"] = 15779;
    $_REQUEST["locale"] = 18;
    $_REQUEST["version"] = 314;
    $_REQUEST["timeout"] = 5;

    $db = mysqli_connect(blabla);

    if (mysqli_connect_errno() == 0) { //DB-Connection successful

        for ($i = 1; $i <= 5; $i++) {
            $Timer = microtime(TRUE);

            // Execute the server stats page and store the results. This code doesn't change.
            ob_start();
            include( "ServerStats.php" );
            $result = ob_get_contents();
            ob_end_clean();



            //code that updates the db, definitely works!



            //let 10 seconds pass
            while (microtime(TRUE) - $Timer <= 10000) {
                usleep(500000); //0.5 secs sleeping
            }

        }

    }

?>

WAt the moment when i run this script the page is loading for years and the stats are not updated a single time.

Any idea what could be the issue? I'm really not a pro in php^^

Try this one if you cant or not able to set CRON jobs.
But there are also some web based cron job websites, but they are not realy helpfull

I know I am.

And I don't need attention, I have enough already.
Just a bit bored atm.

Oh and no, you may not expect a serious answer.

Hi it's me again.
For testing I always used a server of a friend and it always worked.

Now when I wanted to put everything to my server I got errors, sometimes just 1, sometimes more...

This error comes more often.

Array ( [0] => [1] => Warning: mcrypt_ecb() [function.mcrypt-ecb]: Attempt to use an empty IV, which is NOT recommend in /var/www/***/html/silkroad/serverstats/SilkroadSecurity.php on line 174 [2] => Error [3] => Could not receive data. )

The other one doesn't want to display right now. It's longer containing all mcrypt lines and also the 'Could not receive data.' error at the end.

This is 100% my server but what makes it block?

@S3cret
Your server is lacking certain functionality that is required.

Before I got another error and the operator of my webspace had to move it to a different server. This is done and I just checked the phpinfo again.
BCMath support: enabled
Sockets Support: enabled
mcrypt support: enabled (but only version 2.5.7, not 2.5.8, can this be the reason?)

Doubtful, as long as you have a modern MCRYPT it should be ok. Use to get rid of the MCrypt warnings.

It's possible the way a web server is setup it might have all the components needed, but actually performs differently. There's too much going on to really say why it works on some hosts and not on others really. For example, I tested on one free host and it worked fine always but others have tried getting the same from them and it didn't.

It's possible it's something in the code, but there's not much to change really with the socket code. There are a very limited number of ways to use the socket_write and socket_recv functions.

Try this:

Replace lines 110 - 116

$response = socket_recv_buffer( $socket, 2 );
if( $response == false )
{
	@socket_close( $socket );
	echo( "Error" . PHP_EOL . "<br />" . PHP_EOL . "Could not receive data.");
return;
}

with this:

$r = false;
for($x = 0; $x < 5; ++$x)
{
	$response = socket_recv_buffer( $socket, 2 );
	if( $response === false )
	{
		sleep(1);
	}
	else
	{
		$r = true;
		break;
	}
}
if( $r == false )
{
	@socket_close( $socket );
	echo( "Error" . PHP_EOL . "<br />" . PHP_EOL . "Could not receive data." );
	return;
}

That should give it up to 5 seconds to receive data that select said was there. I'm not sure if it'll actually do anything, but I'll try to mess with some possible changes later when I get back around to PHP stuff.

Thanks for your effort.
Your codechange didn't make it work so far.

I'm thinking about contacting my operator again...

Can anyone tell me if i can use this with bplaced.net? Or am I wasting my time trying to get it to work? Is the standart freeware bplaced.net server capable of running this?

I'll give it a try later today after my site is activated there. I made an account but the site doesn't load yet.

Thanks you so much for your help! =)

To anyone that couldn't run the first version, try this second version. The socket functions have been changed to the file socket functions. You still need sockets enabled on the server, but not having regular socket access won't matter as long as file sockets are allowed.

That host, bplaced, allows file sockets, fsockopen, but not regular sockets, socket_connect. I changed a little of the socket code to work with the new style and I think it works as it should: .

However, as with the previous version, this type of code on PHP servers like this isn't really stable so some problems may arise. bplaced only allows a script execution time of 12s, so you won't be able to use this on a lot of servers that have longer delays because the script takes longer to execute. Most sites default to 30s I think, so you might need to try another host if that is a problem.

The error says itselfs, you have to change the version variable in index.php
