How can GameQ be used to check the status of a server in PHP?
To check the status of a server using GameQ in PHP, you can use the GameQ library to query the server and retrieve information such as the server's name, IP address, and number of players. First, you need to install the GameQ library via Composer and then use the appropriate methods to query the server.
// Install the GameQ library via Composer
composer require gameq/gameq
// Include the GameQ autoload file
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
// Create a new GameQ instance
$gameq = new \GameQ\GameQ();
// Add the server to query
$gameq->addServer([
'type' => 'minecraft',
'host' => 'server_ip',
'options' => [
'query_port' => 25565
]
]);
// Run the query
$results = $gameq->process();
// Check if the server is online
if ($results['server_ip']['gq_online']) {
echo 'Server is online';
echo 'Server Name: ' . $results['server_ip']['gq_hostname'];
echo 'Current Players: ' . $results['server_ip']['gq_numplayers'];
} else {
echo 'Server is offline';
}
