Minecraft Server Status Script for PHP

By Patrick K. (Nox Nebula).
http://www.silexboard.org/, https://github.com/NoxNebula/Minecraft-Server-Status

This is a lightweight script, which reads the server infos of Minecraft servers.
The simple script (MinecraftServerStatusSimple.class.php) supports Minecraft server beta 1.8 or higher.
The newer one (MinecraftServerStatus.class.php) uses the query method and supports Minecraft servers beginning with Minecraft 1.0.0.

Features

• Query the server if "enable-query" is activated and parse the server infos.
  The simple one read and parse the build-in server infos from minecraft beta 1.8 or higher servers.
• OOPHP
• Handles some errors
• Easy to use
• Lightweight
• Fallback

Requirements

• PHP 5.4.0 (You need to edit the scripts, if you want to use older php versions)
• PHP allowed stream sockets (stream_socket_client, fwrite, fread, fclose)

How to use the script

Make sure in your server.properties are the following lines:

enable-query=true
query.port=25565

<?php
require_once('MinecraftServerStatus.class.php');
$Server = new MinecraftServerStatus('example-minecraft-host.com');
?>

MinecraftServerStatus($Host, $Port = 25565, $Timeout = 1)

Check Online/Offline

You can easily check if the server is online or offline:

$Server->Get('online');

This will return a boolean, if it's true, the server is online else false.

Get the player count

echo $Server->Get('numplayers').' / '.$Server->Get('maxplayers');

Get a list of online players

foreach($Server->Get('players') as $Player)
	echo $Player.'<br>';

Get the whole info / status

$ServerStatus = $Server->Get();

All available "hooks"

The most of these hooks are only available if the server has query enabled or the server is not vanilla.

'hostname'
'gametype'
'game_id'
'version'
'plugins'
'map'
'numplayers'
'maxplayers'
'hostport'
'hostip'
'online'
'software'
note to check if $Server->Get('hook'); return the expected value (No hook = false).

Fallback

You can just use the "MinecraftServerStatus.class.php" file without the simple one, but if you want a fallback (fewer server infos but works everytime if the requested server is ok) you also should have the "MinecraftServerStatusSimple.class.php" in the same folder.
