Enter this in a PHP file somewhere on your webspace and include the following code snippets in your website:

The actual function:

PHP Code:

<?php 

/* SOURCE ENGINE QUERY FUNCTION, requires the server ip:port */

function source_query($ip)

{

$cut = explode(":", $ip);

$HL2_address = $cut[0];

$HL2_port = $cut[1];



$HL2_command = "\377\377\377\377TSource Engine Query\0";

$HL2_socket = fsockopen("udp://".$HL2_address, $HL2_port, $errno, $errstr,3);

fwrite($HL2_socket, $HL2_command); $JunkHead = fread($HL2_socket,4);

$CheckStatus = socket_get_status($HL2_socket);



if($CheckStatus["unread_bytes"] == 0)

{

    return 0;

}



$do = 1;

while($do)

{

    $str = fread($HL2_socket,1);

    $HL2_stats.= $str;

    $status = socket_get_status($HL2_socket);

    if($status["unread_bytes"] == 0)

    {

        $do = 0;

    }

}

fclose($HL2_socket);



$x = 0;

while ($x <= strlen($HL2_stats))

{

    $x++;

    $result.= substr($HL2_stats, $x, 1);    

}

$result = urlencode($result); // the output

return $result;

}
