Codezwiz >> Forums >> The Board >> Chaging a Query From UDP to TCP

Hi there,

I am having problems with my host they will not allow UDP queerys on there server because they are prone to DDOS attacks on there servers so they blcok the querry but told me the that the TCP querry is still available.. I do not know how to change the code. Can anyone help me out?

<?PHP
$ip_aasf = '212.187.247.149'; //---- Change this to match the IP address of your America's Army server (you may use a DNS name: server.yourclan.com)
$port_aasf = '1716'; //---- Change this to match the UDP port of your America's Army server (default is 1716)

//---- THERE IS NO NEED TO MAKE ANY CHANGES BELOW THIS LINE ------\
ini_set("max_execution_time", "2");

$stat_aasf = @fsockopen("udp://${ip_aasf}", $port_aasf, $errno, $errstr, 2);
socket_set_timeout($stat_aasf, 000002);

if (!$stat_aasf) {
echo '<IMG SRC="skins/IG-DesertCombat/img/tracker_offline.gif" HEIGHT="7" TITLE="Bad derri�re Brits AA Server Offline" WIDTH="41">';
exit;
} else {
}

$send = pack("CCCV", 0xFE, 0xFD, 0x00, 0x7E) . pack("CCC", 0xFF,0xFF,0xFF);
@fwrite ($stat_aasf, $send);
$outp_aasf = @fread ($stat_aasf, 1);//0);

if (!$outp_aasf)
echo '<IMG SRC="skins/IG-DesertCombat/img/tracker_offline.gif" HEIGHT="7" TITLE="Bad derri�re Brits AA Server Offline" WIDTH="41">';
else {
echo '<IMG SRC="skins/IG-DesertCombat/img/tracker_online.gif" HEIGHT="7" TITLE="Bad derri�re Brits AA Server Online" WIDTH="41">';
}
@fclose($stat_aasf);
?>

Not real sure here...I think it's more dependant on the game, perhaps that game you're trying to query only works using UDP ports. I had this issue once with an old host and they refused to open it up claiming security issues.

I don't know the answer so I am gonna stab in the dark here.

Did you try changing udp to tcp on this line?

$stat_aasf = @fsockopen("udp://${ip_aasf}", $port_aasf, $errno, $errstr, 2);

No I tried that and didnt work thanks anyways for your reply.
