PHP code in template?

[Mufasa]

Just for debugging purposes, change online.php to:

<?php
$ip = "xxx.xxx.xxx";$port = "xx";$online = @fsockopen( $ip, $port, $errno, $errstr, 200);
if($online >= 1) {
echo '<a href="#"><img src="/forum/serveronline.png"></a>';
}
else {
echo '<a href="#"><img src="/forum/serveroffline.png"></a>';
}

exit;
?>

Does it shows you the image?

it does if i got direct to the file

In that case I suggest you double check the path. Make sure this is the correct path.

/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/forum/serverstatus/online.php

also what is the chmod rights on index.php and online.php ??

YAY, that worked! no sure if it was a permissions error or if the directory was wrong, both were 0777, and the directory was correct, it just started working. jesus crist that was a nightmare..

Thanks guys!

Cool glad you got it. There's a learning curve for sure, but once you get it, creating new xen:callback's will be super easy and the best way to add php to your templates.

Congratulations! Depending on your forum size, it would be wise to implement some sort of caching. This way, you don't have to poll the server with every page view. Go and learn how to do it in XenForo!
